Interior Inspiration: 8 Modern And Beautiful Wall Paint Colours For Your Home
Falu
image

Falu is a deep shade of red often associated with traditional cottages and barns, and tends to makes a room feel smaller. “To counter this effect, pair it with a white ceiling that has a visually-enlarging effect,” says Dulux paint expert Jeremey Rowe. Ensure a Falu-coloured wall does not overpower the space by pairing it with unfussy, clean-lined furniture.

Chartreuse

Chartreuse is an arresting colour that’s a cross between green and yellow. A dash of playful chartreuse is the perfect accent hue to break up the monotony of neutrals in home interiors as it juxtaposes well with white, charcoal gray and warm woody tones. It can also add a touch of zest to crammed spaces or homes that lack a view of greenery outside.

Saffron

Saffron’s muted yellow and orange hues exude vibrant effervescence and exquisiteness. If your house has limited exposure to natural light, add splashes of saffron to bring warmth and lighten up your room. “Complement a saffron wall with furniture of autumnal hues such as green and auburn to create a harmonious room setting,” says Jeremy.

Teal

Teal is a harmonious mixture of blue and green. Its blueish tone lends it a sense of serenity and calmness, while the greenish shades embody strength and growth as well. With these characteristics in mind, try applying teal to study nooks and working areas to help lubricate your thought processes and encourage clear and concise thoughts.

Greige
image

Greige is a cross between grey and beige which makes it a highly effective neutral base colour. It’s ideal for those who think white is too stark and clinical. Pair this hybrid tone with other varieties of neutral and soft furnishings to form a comforting colour theme, and add depth by filling the space with dark wood furniture.

Dusk

Dusk is a greyish variant of blue, with a modern and sophisticated slant. It adds a luxurious yet subdued character to simple rooms, and can serve as a beautiful backdrop for warmer shades of neutrals. “Like other shades of blue, it also has a therapeutic effect on the mind and body – balancing hormone levels and lowering breathing rates,” says Jeremy.

Rust
image

Rust radiates warmth and serves as a subdued alternative to flamboyant red. It injects cosiness to large spaces, and is recommended for open-plan areas where social activities take place. This shade is also associated with sensuality, and can enhance the feeling of intimacy in the bedroom by using it as a feature wall colour.

Malachite
image

Malachite’s opaque greenness is often associated with mesmerising jewels and the splendour of nature. Jeremy says, “this splendid tint adds an element of luxe, and you can pair it with complementary moody shades like dark blue for a modern twist”.
