Some of The Most Decorative Colours for Painting Your House

Neutral, trendy or timeless colours…

These are the colours that best suit the walls of your summer home and never become old-fashioned.

White

White is a neutral colour. Space looks bigger, is bright, clean and transmits purity and simplicity. White can be pure, ivory or the colour of clouds. White is the most versatile tone to combine with any decoration while being timeless. It has the ability to illuminate the dimly lit spaces and expand small rooms. White is always synonymous with a safe bet.

Light Grey

Grey guarantees you the same benefits as white in its lightest shades: it enlarges and illuminates spaces. Its combination with pastel tones offers refreshing results, if they are blue and green, and romantic if you combine it with more pink and yellow tones, ideal for bedrooms – also for children. The effect is more elegant with black, although it is convenient to add wooden elements for an extra look of elegance.

Pink

Pink is a very versatile colour that allows many combinations. Its nude tones, combined with earthy and brown colours, achieve sweet, sensual, and welcoming environments. When mixed with any range of grey, in addition to minimising its cold character, it acquires an extraordinary intensity. This combination is also a trend, both in living rooms and bedrooms. For a fresher result, combine it with shades of pale green.

Light Blue

Light blue reminds us of the sky and the sea, which promotes relaxation and sleep better. It is the star in children’s bedrooms, as it also helps concentration. The blue walls with the white furniture offer a serene and light combination. For a more sophisticated look, mix it with grey. With mustard – its opposite in the chromatic circle – it gains strength, and the result is very luminous.

Red

Red is a colour for brave people. You can use it in small doses to highlight a single wall and create a spectacular point of attention or through accessories or some special furniture. Combine it with earthy colours, beiges and light wood furniture, such as beech or oak, to mitigate its energetic effect and achieve warmer and calmer environments.
