Paint Schemes and Country Colors
Creating a themed room is easy with country paint colors. This design aesthetic may remind you of your grandmother’s house, but changing the color palette brings it up to date. You may just want a country room so you can incorporate existing furniture and your favorite accessories into the room.
Country paint colors can use neutrals. This will keep your house from looking like a restaurant or even a barn. You may want a bright and airy look while staying within a country theme. This also ensures that you can work with existing appliances, fixtures, and countertops to save money on a remodel. You may want to decorate in neutral colors only so that when you go to sell your home it will appeal to a wide range of people.
If you’re looking for an all-white country room, you’ll need to add architectural elements that have texture. This could include spray painting a bunch of ornate frames. This makes decorative fixtures cheap because you can buy mismatched frames at thrift stores. Add white shutters to the window. You can spruce up a simple room by simply putting bead boards on the walls or cabinets and that adds a country feel. Then you can give a massive appeal to the room with more intricate moldings; you can even add them to the ceiling.
For a country room, you can go for a vintage effect or use rustic wall decor. You may want to layer brown and red over metal hardware or lamps in the room to make them look rustic. You can also create a patchwork quilt effect on your wall with the simple use of color. You may want to use this on just one wall or half a wall so it doesn’t overwhelm your room. Paint large blocks of color. If you’re afraid it’ll look too busy, just use a tone-on-tone effect using colors from the same paint chip. The closer the colors are on the chip, the more subtle your room will be.
You may have to work with white walls if you are renting. You can still have a country style; just brings home touches. This may mean adding lace curtains over modern blinds or bringing in a bedspread that has a homey feel. If you can’t add color to the walls, choose rustic western furniture. You can paint this furniture a deep barn red or a country blue. You can sand down the edges so even contemporary pieces have a bit of flair and a sense of history. This way you will have a removable color in your room and you can make a matching furniture set with odds and ends to save money.
Paint schemes and country colors add a rustic touch to a room. Color has a huge impact on the room and is one of the cheapest ways to decorate. You can make a simple apartment feel like home by adding the right colors.
