QUIET COLORS TO PAINT A GUEST ROOM
The most important thing to do when you have guests over is to make sure they are comfortable. You want the room to be a place where your guests can relax and get a good night’s sleep. The paint color you choose can have a big effect on how they feel in the room.
You can’t go wrong with blue if you want to make a calm atmosphere. Scientists have found that shades of blue calm the body and can even help you sleep better. For a bedroom, it’s best to stick to softer, more muted colors like soft sky blue, soft powder blue, dreamy ocean shades, or very soft lavender.
A guest room can also look great in green. It has the same effect of calming us down, which makes sense since we think of it as being in nature. Most people stick to lighter shades of green like sage or a light grassy tone, but darker shades like khaki green can also look great in a bedroom.
If you want to warm things up, pastel yellow and pink are also great options. They keep the cozy, comfortable feel while adding a bit more warmth to the room.
THE PERFECT COLOR PALLET FOR A SHARED SPACE
If you have a guest room in your house, it may have changed into a room that can be used for more than one thing in the past year. If you had to move your guest room quickly so it could also be a home office, a place to learn at home, or a place to do crafts, you’re not alone! At first, these rooms might have been temporary, but now you can see how useful it would be to make them more permanent. Now is the time to think about how to update the look of your room and make it warm and welcoming for when you can have guests over again, but also comfortable for you to work in.
When it comes to rooms that people share, neutral colors work best. They strike the right balance for when you’re working or being creative and when your guests are ready to relax after a long day of traveling. By painting the walls a creamy white or soft beige, you can make the perfect background for any color scheme. Add your brighter colors with accents like fabrics, artwork, furniture, and other decorative items.
If you still want things to be neutral but don’t want white walls, you still have a lot of great choices. A popular color right now is greige, which is a beautiful mix of gray and beige that makes things feel warmer than a plain gray. A very soft yellow, which looks like white with a hint of sunshine, is another surprising way to use a neutral color. This is a great way to make the room feel cozier without making the walls too busy. You can get a similar look with a blush pink that is barely there.
Whether you have a guest room or a room that can be used for more than one thing, these color ideas will help you make a room that everyone will love spending time in. You’ll be amazed at how much a fresh coat of paint can change a room.
