Light! More light! Usually people who want to paint their rooms afford to paint them in a light, neutral color. This may work if you like neutral colors, but if your passion is saturated dark color, you can do much with it on the walls of your home.

Black is the ultimate neutral. Surprisingly enough, black walls be a good alternative to the usual white or beige that most people think of when considering a neutral wall scheme. With the right lighting and furniture accents, black walls can be dramatic and sophisticated. Caution should be exercised, however, to make the room with light furniture and decorations. Consider pairing black walls with colorful accents such as red, teal, purple and lighter shades such as pink, baby blue and lilac for interest.

Brown is an understated color that can bring saturated warmth into a room and serve as a backdrop to almost any color accent. A chocolate brown wall is great for showing off brighter colors while lending some color to the room itself scheme. Chocolate brown and blue combinations have recently been popular, but chocolate brown goes well with red, yellow and green.

Red is a color, have long been used sparingly in the wall palette, except for red brick fireplace areas .. However, a rich, dark red can borrow a room sophistication and elegance that is hard to beat. Burgundy is a great color to put on the walls and goes well with many colors and textures. A good dark red is matched well with black (but not too much!), white, antique brown and accents of the cooler colors.

Blues has long been a part of the wall palette in their lighter shades. However, a deep royal blue to make a wonderful wall color when paired with white, yellow and other light accents, furniture and decorations. Blue panels can also borrow a significant amount of color without being flashy or dazzling.

Green also has a common wall color in their brighter varieties. A forest green, but may be too low and soothing to the eye. Paired with brown, yellow and creams, the darker green provides an elegant solution to your walls.

Purple is a bit difficult using a room as the color goes on the line between hot and cold. Some of the darker purple, like eggplant (aubergine), can work well together with a number of different colors. The richer purples, such as royal, may pose a greater challenge to match so that the purple does not overwhelm the room. Light greens, creams, rich red brown and yellow colors can provide great contrast to a purple room.

Ceiling and floors can offer some contrast, especially if you're worried about your dark room being too dark. Light ceilings and floors can give the illusion of height, dark walls accentuate. Another method of contrasting is painting the walls different colors. A wall can be used as an accent wall and painted a dark / light color, depending on how dark / light you want the room to be. Two-tone walls also a way to use dark colors without darkening a room too much.

Do not shy away from dark colors! They may require some more thoughts to accents and dark / light combinations than your average light wall color, but they can make a room striking and unusual. Coming to the dark side, in this case is not so bad!
