Organize space

If life seems gray and boring, you just need to add a new color to the interior of the room, and we will tell you in the article which shade to choose and how to match it to the situation in the apartment. Look at examples of how, with the right accessories and textiles, you can add color to the interior of any room – from the kitchen to the living room.

The color scheme of a room can affect the mood and well-being of a person, so it is important to choose wisely. For the bedroom, it is recommended to choose more calm and gentle shades that promote relaxation and relaxation, while for the workspace, you can use brighter and more stimulating colors that will help increase concentration and attentiveness.

It is also important to take into account the interaction of the selected color with the rest of the interior elements in order to create a harmonious combination

Set color accents in the interior

A neutral background can be complemented by bright splashes of color by adding a variety of accessories to it. Multi-colored pillows, colorful bedspreads and cozy blankets are perfect for this purpose. These elements not only add brightness and liveliness to the room, but also maintain the overall style and theme of the design.

Bright colors in the interior of the hallway

The hallway is the first and last impression of the apartment, so it should be bright and positive. Focus on wooden elements – doors, architraves, skirting boards.

Choose from bright and vibrant colors such as blues, reds or rich yellows. Solar shades will give every morning and evening a charge of positive emotions and energy. But it is very important that the chosen shade fits the overall style of the room.

Open shelves in the interior

With the help of open shelves, you can create unique decorative compositions in the interior. With their help, it is easy to add brightness and sophistication to a plain wall. Hang one large or several short open shelves, and arrange beautiful large plates vertically behind deep bowls and mugs.

In order to enliven the entire arrangement, it is recommended to add a lush flower in a pot – it will give liveliness and freshness, become a kind of center of attention, completing the composition on the shelves.

Interior like nature

If you want to add a piece of nature to your home, you can take into account an interesting way to decorate the living room – place a tree in a tub in the room, which will serve as a compositional accent and create a feeling of being in nature.

An unusual interior element will enliven the space and create an atmosphere of calm and harmony, bringing with it the freshness and vitality that can be felt in nature.

Add peach color to the interior

Previously, everyone tried to decorate the living room in soft pink shades, but now a new favorite has come to replace it – peach tones. These fresh and delicate tones bring a sense of warmth and coziness to the room, while adding a touch of sophistication and elegance.

The use of metallic and shimmery finishes will complement and diversify the peach palette, creating trendy and modern combinations.

Indoor Green Party

Group houseplants for a cozy and fresh indoor mini garden. If there is not enough space for all the plants on one surface, you can hang some of the pots in a planter. This will not only make efficient use of space, but also add visual depth and dynamics to the interior.

As a result, you will create a real green corner filled with life and natural beauty, which will bring a feeling of freshness and comfort.

Antique Silver and Bronze

Antique Silver and Bronze are gorgeous hues that add sophistication and elegance to interiors. These metallic colors work beautifully with rich inky blues to create amazing harmony and contrast. Together, these elements will enliven and enrich your interior, giving it a unique and inimitable style.

Gold Plated Cutlery

Liven up your kitchen or dining room with new cutlery or crockery. If you purchase appliances in noble and elegant shades of dark gold, even a seemingly ordinary kitchen will take on a sophisticated look.

Complete your look with a custom set of serving plates that will add sophistication to your feast. For example, gold cutlery goes well with black plates.

Liven up the interior with a bright color bedspread

Sometimes it is enough to put a bright blanket or blanket on a bed or sofa in a room to revive and refresh the interior. This small but significant accent will have a significant impact on the overall look of the room. Such a bright addition will look especially impressive against the background of a plain wall, creating a spectacular play of contrasts and giving the interior a new dynamic.

White paint will brighten any interior

To create the perfect neutral background for accessories and compositional accents, just paint the walls pure white. This simple step will allow you to highlight and highlight the beauty and significance of each decorative element that you add to your interior.

Your collection of jewelry, paintings or other art will stand out against a pure white background, creating spectacular and harmonious compositions.

Mix interior colors

An interesting way to make a wall less boring is to paint it two different colors. This method allows you to create unique visual effects and add playfulness and originality to the interior.

You can choose two similar colors that harmonize with each other, or mix two contrasting shades for a more expressive effect.

New bed linen

Buying new bed linen is not only an update in the look of the bedroom, but also a new mood. With the help of a picture and color scheme, you can control the atmosphere in the room, creating the right mood – passion, relaxation, thoughtfulness. To complete the composition and give the bed a special charm, you can add a few decorative pillows – they will be the final touch that gives the bed a complete look.

Colors and inspiration for your teen’s room

From whimsical to inspiring, help your teen create the perfect space with Benjamin Moore’s color palette.

A teenager’s room is more than just a place to sleep. This is the first living space that a boy or girl disposes of at their discretion. What’s more, it’s a multifunctional space where they play video games, listen to loud music with friends, pore over textbooks, worry about their first love, and plan for the future. To help your teen gain confidence in colours, spark their creativity and create the perfect space for you, use Benjamin Moore’s inspiring color palette specifically for teens. And then let your teenager prove himself in the ability to create something with his own hands and invite him to learn to paint the walls together!

A teenager’s room is a multifunctional center of the universe

To visually divide the space into several zones – for study, recreation, etc. – make some accent walls. For example, the wall next to the study table can be painted in the energetic shade Rhythm and Blues 758 to stimulate interest in learning, and the wall where the favorite chair and bookcase is located can be painted in the deep green shade Dragonfly AF-510, better creates a library atmosphere.

In the room pictured, a loft bed with built-in bookshelf creates the perfect space for a teenager who loves to nibble on the granite of science. An accent wall in the fresh shade of Sea Star 2123-30 creates a calm contrast with the trim and ceiling in Cloud Cover OC-25, and separates this area from the rest of the room.

We also love using Victorian Trim 2068-50, Aspen Skies 1656 and Coral Buff 024 for finishing. If your teenage daughter is in love with boho chic style, use the palette of Creamy Satin 1087, Serendipity AF-205, Peaches’ n’Cream 040 and Boca Raton Blue 711.

“Involving teenagers in color selection increases their self-confidence and gives them a sense of belonging and responsibility for their personal space”

– Sharon Greek, Benjamin Moore color and design expert

Wall: Caliente AF-290

Bold colors for a teen’s room

From deep reds to dark purples and hot pinks, bold colors go hand in hand with the creative impulses of teens. If bold paint colors are your plan, opt for furniture, linens, and accessories in neutral tones. This will allow the walls to speak, and when your teen is ready for a change, you can easily change the color instead of having to re-buy expensive items like a bed.

In the teenage picture’s lively room, walls painted in Caliente AF-290 make the perfect backdrop for bedding with a simple stripe pattern, while minimalist wood bedside tables and a modern wall lamp balance the bright space.

If your teenager wants to paint a room in a shade that is as bold as their character, check out Scandinavian Blue 2068-30, Surf Blue 2056-30 and Fire Dance 2171-20.

Walls: Arctic Seal CSP-15

Dark colors for a teenager’s room

To create an “adult” atmosphere in a teenager’s room, use black or charcoal paint colors on an accent wall, trim or ceiling. In the room pictured, Arctic Seal CSP-15 on the accent wall blends in well with Perspective CSP-5 on trim and other walls. A rich red velvet armchair and blue-grey linens bring a subtle and easy-to-change splash of color. Simple paintings on the walls complete the color scheme, while white window trim fills the room with a sense of airiness. If you want to style your teenager’s room in a similar vein, here are some other dark colors to look out for: Oxford Gray 2128-40, Cup of Java 1246, and Flint AF-560.

Wall: Mt. Rainier Gray 2129-60, Ceiling: Lily White 2128-70, Table: Million Dollar Red 2003-10

Wall Decor, Organized Chaos

The teenage version of the wall gallery is a mess of personal photos, postcards and inspirational pictures neatly organized in one place.

In the room pictured, a strategically placed wallboard serves as a haven for a creative explosion. Shade combination Mt. Rainer Gray 2129-60 on the walls and Super White OC-152 on the trim create a stylish look, while Lily White 2128-70 on the ceiling completes the calming palette, reminiscent of a cloud in the sky. A red accent table brings a splash of color, while astronaut bedding reflects the teen’s love of play and adventure.

Do you want to help your teenager create a place to store all sorts of things? Use the soft Odessa Pink HC-59, Urban Nature AF-440 or Smoke 2122-40 to create the perfect backdrop for chaotic creative collections.

Walls: Shadow Gray 2125-40

Neutral Grays for a Teen’s Room

If your teen has an eclectic taste, go for soft neutral grays. They are the perfect backdrop for pops of color and personality through paintings, print bedding, abstract sculptures, rail lights and more.

In the room pictured, the combination of an airy Shadow Gray 2125-40 on the walls and Wedding Veil 2125-70 on the planked ceiling with exposed wood beams creates a soothing cocoon. Checkered bed linen provides graphic texture, while a contemporary table lamp makes the space look contemporary.

Here are some more popular neutral grays to create a subdued backdrop for your teen’s many eye-catching accessories: Gray Owl OC-52, Thunder AF-685 and Arctic Gray 1577.
