As the New Year approaches, many seek ways to refresh and renew their living spaces. One of the simplest yet most impactful ways to transform your home is by repainting with fresh, neutral colors. These colors provide a timeless and versatile backdrop and have the power to influence mood, enhance aesthetics, and even increase property value.

Why Choose Neutral Colors?

Neutral colors have stood the test of time for a reason. These shades have a unique ability to create harmony and balance within a space, offering flexibility for decor and furnishings:

1. Versatility: Whether your style is modern, rustic, or eclectic, neutral tones effortlessly complement a range of interiors.
2. Calming Effect: Rooted in nature, neutral colors can create a serene and inviting atmosphere, making any room feel like a personal retreat.
3. Brightening Spaces: Neutral shades can open up small areas, reflecting natural light to make spaces feel larger and more inviting.

The Psychological Impact of Neutrals in Different Spaces

The impact of color goes beyond aesthetics; it affects our moods and behaviors as well:

• Living Room: Opt for warm beiges or soft greys. These colors create a friendly and open ambiance perfect for gatherings and relaxation.
• Bedroom: Cool tones such as light taupe or soft ecru are ideal for promoting restfulness, turning your bedroom into a true sanctuary.
• Office: Crisp whites or gentle stones foster focus and productivity, providing an uncluttered and peaceful workspace.
• Kitchen: Sage greens or muted olives evoke cleanliness and a refreshing atmosphere, ideal for culinary creativity.

Did you know that color selection can have a lasting impact on how large your interior space feels? Here are a few quick and easy ways to make a space feel larger than it really is:

1. Proper color selection and location
   • Light paint colors tend to recede, meaning they feel further away. Dark colors tend to advance towards the eye, making them feel closer. If you want a long and narrow room to appear more square, you can paint the end walls (the shorter ones) a dark color and leave the long walls a light color. To the eye the light colors will “push out” and appear larger, while the further dark wall will “come forward” to the making the room feel more appropriate.
   • A light ceiling color can make a space feel taller and more spacious while a dark ceiling makes a room shorter.
   • Warm colors also act as dark colors in the way that they appear closer to the eye than light or cool colors.
   • Take a look at our pinterest page for some of our favorite color schemes. Cascade Painting and Restoration Pinterest – Color Palette
2. Add Stripes for interest:
   • Consider adding some visual interest to the room with stripes! Vertical stripes can make a room feel larger, while horizontal stripes make the room feel smaller.
3. Highlight the architectural features:
   • A quick way to enhance a room with paint is to highlight it’s features. If your room has crown molding, decorative trim or window casings, consider painting them a complementary color to highlight them. Often this is done with a bright white to add a balancing contrast to the space.
4. Proper sheen selection:
   • All paints and sheen’s are not created equally. We can discuss in detail why to use various finishes such as flat, eggshell, satin, mildew resistant coatings, semi gloss trim paints.  We can help you make the proper selection to help aesthetically but functionally as well. Here is a paint finish guide we recommend as a starting point.
5. Think Beyond Paint too:
   • There are many other ways to refresh a room. While we are experts when it comes to paint, we also have an interior designer on staff that is available to talk in more detail about your project goals.
