How to Decorate Dark Painted Rooms

The living room is both the most popular and essential part of your home. It’s a place that everyone spends much time in, whether it’d be relaxing, spending time with others, or simply watching TV.

It’s easy to forget to make sure your room is in harmony – ensure that the warmness/coolness of your paint and décor are consistent. Plus, if you do decide to use some light decoration, it’s best to balance and spread it. Cool, pale colours (like mint or champagne) can achieve an etherealness to the dark room.

Never neglect what you love! A living room has to make you feel comfortable, but by following certain principles, you can achieve both your desired result and a pleasurable one.

Light curtains brighten walls whilst a light ceiling brightens the entire room a bit more. Beautiful, small spotlights and chandeliers work great against such dark colours.
• Be bold. Trust your instincts.
