Top 5 Winter Paint Colors
Winter is coming and with it comes the cold weather and snowy or slushy conditions too. This can bring on a case of the blues for some, and one of the easiest ways to start combating those Winter woes is by sprucing up your home or apartment. Starting with painting the walls, we have compiled what we consider to be the top 5 Winter paint colors to help fight the Winter blues.
Whites
I know that some of you are probably saying to yourselves, ‘White? Really?’ Well normally people view white as boring or lazy even, however during the Winter white as a wall paint color can go a long way in accenting certain pieces of furniture, art, or other decor. I mean, what would Winter be without the white of snow? Just ask someone who lives in the South. Don’t be scared to reintroduce white as part of a larger picture in your Winter decor overhaul. Remember, you can always paint a different color after the first of the year.
Blues
Just like the color white on walls, the color blue can sometimes bring with it certain feelings. Such as baby blue can sometimes be thought of as only usable in a baby’s nursery. However this is certainly not always the case. A nice use of blue can replicate the beauty of ice and snow and all the wonderful things that Winter has to offer. Not only that, when using lighter shades of blue there is a lot to be said for the calming effect it can provide.
Reds
What is better to do in the Winter than cuddle up in front of a nice warm fire? Literally nothing, if you ask me. The power of a strong red wall often times helps provide us that same warm and cozy feeling found in fireplace, even if one isn’t present in the home. Allow your walls to warm you up this Winter with a splash of fiery red!
Grays
Just like the color white, gray on walls can sometimes be viewed as boring or as if you’re not really trying to make the house feel like your own. However, during the Winter season grays can go a very long way in providing a beautiful and sophisticated backing to some of your most elegant home decor or settings. Don’t pass up on the power of gray just because it feels boring, sometimes the bigger picture is made up of small parts too!
Greens
One of the most thought about outdoor views during the Winter season (other than snow of course) are the beautiful greens of evergreen trees, wreaths, or maybe even a Christmas tree. When used properly a green wall can be a beautiful coupling with grays and white and many of the other colors found in a Winter theme. However, use these colors sparingly as noone wants to have to work with a solid dark green wall!
When you’re busy staying warm this Winter, don’t forget that your home and surroundings can go a very long way in boosting your’s and your family’s spirits during the sometimes dismal Winter months. Whether you live in a rental home or apartment, it only takes a little time to make a huge impact on your day to day life.
