Bright and Bold Paint Palettes Add a Splash to Your Home’s Interior

On Monday, I showed some examples of how neutral interior paint colors can add a lot of depth and dimension without being too flashy. But, I know, some of you love bright color. I do too. So to quench your thirst for interior painting palettes that make a statement, here are some great ideas and pictures to inspire your interior painting project.

When choosing vibrant color, be inspired by the world around you. Look at how colors complement each other at your local farmers market, at a floral shop, or just about anywhere else. You might be surprised at the color palettes you find that would transfer perfectly to your walls.

I like the combo of these two colors. I would never think of using two such similar colors together, but it reminds me of Monet’s house in France and a color he would have used to paint lily pads.

This might be too feminine for some, but I love the playful use of pink accessorized with all the colorful knickknacks in the room.

Sophisticated Palettes for Your Home’s Interior

A great summer remodeling project is adding a new coat of interior paint. If you’ve been thinking of painting your home, but the wall of colors at your local home improvement store is leaving you completely overwhelmed (trust me I know how you feel), check out some of these paint combinations. While I’ve always been one for bright, bold color, lately I’ve been intrigued by more muted colors that offer a sophisticated, demure artistic statement.

I’ve never thought of using grey as a wall color, but this soft tone looks surprisingly light, clean and crisp as a bedroom color.

Domino Magazine labeled this combination of colors “grown-up neutrals” and I think it’s a great description, and the perfect choice for those who are a little scared of all out color. Plus, it’s another example of how great grey can look.

These soft blue hues paired create a heavenly, airy environment.
