So you've moved into a new home, and are yet to fill the blank canvas of your walls. You have a gauge of what you want your interiors to be, but are completely clueless about what colour your walls should be. Read on to find out which colours are the most suitable for these interiors:
1. M for Minimalism, M for Monochrome: Minimalistic interiors are all about subtle, subdued colours and can be soothing to the eyes, especially if you are not a fan of cluttered spaces. If sleek wooden and steel elements are part of your interior design, choose shades of greys, whites, silvers and blacks to complement the furniture.
2. Nautical Blues: Much like the name suggests, nautical themes reflect beaches, oceans and sea vessels such as boats and ships. If you are into maritime props such as rudders, maps, oars and linen drapes, it is pretty obvious that you ought to choose to paint your walls with the colours of the oceans: shades of blues and green. You can infuse a more earthy feel into your interiors by combining the blues and greens with light browns and yellows.
3. Boho Chic: Can't make it to Coachella music festival? Fret not, you can bring a Coachella-esque vibe to your home by painting the walls in vibrant hues such as purples, pinks, reds, oranges and blues.
4. The Industrial Revolution: Industrial themed-houses have interiors reminiscent of aesthetically decaying factories of yore, replete with brick and steel contraptions. If this sounds like your dream home, go for colours such as shades of maroon, lilac and cream.
5. Old World Charm: Think of an early 20th century vibe, particularly the Forties. Do you visualize lush interiors, flowing, luxurious tapestries of silk and gold rimmed furniture? Then paint your walls in hues of gold, cream, olive and dark browns.
