The use of dark hues has a strong impact on how we feel. If you use navy to paint your home office it could decrease your productivity. Consider using deep colours only in bedrooms. This creates a cocoon and ambient feeling that supports relaxation.
Accentuating skirting board trims and radiator units in white will create an unflattering ‘white socks’ effect. Choosing to paint all your fixtures and trims in colour to essentially blend them into the wall will eliminate the potential for visual disruption.
To eliminate your fear of over-filling the area, simply paint all four walls halfway up instead of one. This method of ‘wrap-around’ painting helps you avoid the common mistakes with dark walls.
When choosing wall paints, you should always consider your flooring. For example, warm oatmeal wall-to-wall may not go well with a forest green wall colour. Make sure you have flooring with cooler undertones so the space remains well balanced and purposeful.
If you have a dark painted room with no natural lights, then it is time to consider changing how you live your life. This continues to be one of the top mistakes made with dark walls.
