In this article, we’ll share some of the most unusual paint colours we’ve ever used for our clients and explain why they were the perfect choice for each unique project. So, if you’re looking to add some eccentricity and character to your home, keep reading!
Why unconventional paint colours can be a good choice.
When it comes to selecting paint colours for a home, conventional wisdom is often about sticking to safe, neutral tones. However, this approach doesn’t always allow for a true reflection of a home’s owner and their personality. By choosing an unconventional paint colour, you’re taking ownership of your space and making it something personalised to you. Bold, unusual colours can completely alter the mood of a space, adding vibrance, warmth, and personality.
Some Examples of Strange Paint Colours and the Rooms they were used in.
Dark Green Living Room & Kitchen.
Our client was looking to bring a sense of unity to their living space and kitchen, which were connected. They were an older couple that liked earthy tones. We suggested a deep, earthy green, which worked perfectly to tie the two rooms together. The colour felt sophisticated, fresh, and contemporary, all at the same time.
The Fusion of Colours.
One of our clients was looking for something bright, lively, and non-conventional, and that’s what we were able to deliver. We chose multiple, bold, and clashing colours, but managed to marry them up in a way that made sense. Splashing vibrant purples, reds, blues, and oranges all over the walls created an atmosphere of energy. The end product was a fantastic fusion of colours and ambience.
Dark Room.
This client wanted a room where all of the accessories could stand out, she has a great collection of yellow accessories and wanted the walls to be monotone. We chose a deep blue in this instance, which provided an almost muted backdrop to the rest of the room’s decor while also adding depth and dimension.
Room with Black Walls.
When it comes to bold colours, black may be the most daring. It’s unconventional as a wall colour, but it can work very well in the right context. One of our clients wanted a room with black walls, and we paired that with lighter pieces of furniture. This made the room look balanced as a whole while still making a bold statement.
How to incorporate unusual colours into your own design?
When thinking about incorporating unusual paint colours into your own design, it’s important to keep balance in mind. While you want to make a statement with your colour choice, it shouldn’t be too overwhelming. It’s important to create a harmonious and balanced space. Consider pairing bold colours with neutral accents or using them as an accent colour rather than a main wall colour. Lastly, be sure to balance out bright colours with softer, lighter hues, where needed.
Conclusion.
Going for unconventional paint colour choices can be a fun and rewarding way to liven up a space and bring some personality to a home. With a little bravery and creativity, unconventional colours can bring a fresh level of sophistication and personality to any home. By experimenting with unique and bold colour options, you’ll be able to create a space that not only complements your taste but also stands out and reflects your personality. You can rely on our Painters & Decorators to listen to your needs and combine them with your personality to suggest a new look that fits you well.
