Dark Living Room, what color paint?
My living room is dark! I have 1 big window but a huge tree right in front of it so very little natural light gets in. On top of that I have dark acacia hardwood (dark brown with a bit of red to it) and charcoal furniture. Now I have 6 different paint colors on the walls trying to figure out what on earth will work! I would like something modern, so I tried grey tones…bad choice, VERY depressing!!! Then I went to the usual beige but it is sooo boring, I even took the advice of the color consultant at the paint store and tried a toned down lime green. I’m starting to like it, but are there any colors out there that i’m not thinking of to go with dark wood floors and charcoal furniture? HELP!!
Yellow simulates sunshine. A spring green (yellowish green) might do the trick.
An apricot color would be another one worth looking at. A really soft, pale yellow that looks almost white on the walls would have a good brightening effect also. As will a paint with some sheen to it. The glossier the paint is the more light it will reflect. But unless your walls are in perfect condition don’t go gloss. Good condition you could get away with semi-gloss, otherwise satin. That gives a soft diffused glow. Paint any trim with the gloss. Easier to clean and wears better too.
I think you can pull off a “look” with the style of your fabrics, accessories and furniture more so than with the color. Modern is based on clean lines and minimal accessories, textures and finishes.
Why don’t you select your rugs, curtain materials or a material you want to use for throw pillows and use the colors in the material for your “inspiration”? And it’s much easier to select materials first and then back into the paint color.
I’m not a fan of the beige stuff; it’s like you didn’t want to make a choice and took the safe way out. Don’t forget about the ceiling either. Ceilings are usually best painted with a flat or and eggshell finish unless you are incredibly patient and up for several coats of paint. They look great with a satin finish on but it takes several coats and working in different directions to get them to look right. Then the light is reflected down from the ceiling in a soft glow also. We did a semi-gloss in our somewhat dark kitchen and it took two very patiently applied coats but the result was worth the week of a stiff neck. Made the ceiling look higher also.
