Select modern wall colors for your home.
When you're looking for a unusual way to update a room with color, select paint colors in a modern way. Modern interior wall painting brings the boldness of warm and cool colors onto the wall in a big way. This approach to adding color to a room is in contrast to complementing neutral wall colors with colorful throw pillows and curtains.
Color Choices
Modern wall paint colors steps out of the neutrals as the main wall color for a room. Instead of using primary color tones, delve into second and tertiary colors that combine several primaries into new shades of blue, purple, green, orange and yellow. Modern neutrals introduce numerous hues to the basic white, beige, taupe, gray and brown colors. These become neutral color families that complement the bright and bold colors selected for the room.
Color by Design
Selecting modern paint colors for a room is about choosing the colors that you want to see in the room. From a main color, select its paint accent colors that fit well in the room's design. The paint choices in a modern room design accent the room's architectural features and play off of its furniture and room accents. It may seem as if these bold choices would clash with focal point pieces in the room, but they instead pull from an accent color or make the focal point piece stand out in a very dramatic, noncompeting way.
Astounding Colors
Drama is an understatement to what a black accent wall can do to a room painted in a taupe or beige neutral tone. Or you can feature sparkling copper, silver or gold on an accent wall of the room in a modern paint design. According to House Painting Tutorials, an easy way to add these colors to the wall is with metallic paint.
The Ambiance of Color
Modern interior wall painting takes the experience of paint color in a room from selecting traditional colors for each room to how colors play with complementary colors to give off a certain ambiance that sets the mood of the room. One of the best ways to make bold colors work in a space is to combine them with colors on the opposite side of the color wheel and with soothing, light-toned neutrals. An example is a room painted in a deep blue tone. It is appropriately accented with a warm-tinted white on the door and window trims. With splashes of yellow-green, yellow, red-orange and red tones as paint accent colors on the doors, windows and in the furniture and accessories in the room, these colors create a modern feel in a not-so-ordinary room design.
Color Finishes
Beyond the color selected for the walls is the paint's finish. According to Unique Home Décor Ideas, a matte finish allows the color to make its own statement without any enhancements. On the other hand, glossy paint makes the paint color shine and gives the walls a protective surface that is easy to clean.
