Preparing for a new residential painting project is always exciting, but it's hard not to feel limited when you're focusing on a single interior color. Those hoping to make a statement with their next update have a few options at their disposal — some of which make it much easier to branch out and incorporate more colors. If you're looking for results that really pop, follow the guide below for a few key considerations.

A Guide To Multi-Color Interior Painting

Creating Standout Walls

If you're concerned about clashing tones or wondering what the secret is to placement, there are many ways to thoughtfully paint with several different colors. Think about the way your rooms are divided. For instance, if some of your spaces have a chair rail going horizontally across the walls, try painting each half a different shade. If you'd rather limit the focus, pick one wall in a room as the accent wall. This offers a fantastic opportunity for something a little bolder. Accent walls draw the eye to a particular place in the room, and they're often brighter than the rest of the walls around them by design.

Accents & Ceilings

Use crown molding and trim all throughout your home as a counterpoint to the color of your walls. The same applies to baseboards, window and door casings, and other standout moldings, all of which highlight the end of one part of the room and the beginning of another. If the room you're painting has a particular pop color scheme used to complement the rest of the walls, you may want to consider carrying that bold choice over to the ceiling. Pop color on ceilings can really tie a look together while effectively setting the ceiling apart from the rest of the room.

The trick to this and all other aspects of the project is to avoid going overboard. Choosing an interesting monochromatic color scheme with multiple tones of the main hue will add depth and avoid creating a chaotic, disjointed space. As long as you take your time experimenting and choose the right painting contractor for the job, you'll make every room you work on stand out in new and unique ways.
