Trends in Traditional Bedroom Colors
Many house painters, general contractors and painting contractors in Long Island utilize these traditional and very neutral colors to prepare a house for sale or post remodeling. Therefore allowing the occupants to change their color schemes to their unique choices.
Traditionally bedrooms have maintained the more neutral of colors from the color wheel. These allowed for decor changes, seasonal bedspread and other accent changes without worries of clashing with the wall colors.
Often this pallet includes the various shades of whites that allow for the ultimate versatility in decorating. These colors impart themselves to the illusion of a larger area and higher ceilings. However, the sterile and cold feel of white does not always lend itself to a serene and comforting room. Your bedroom is the place of your rest, your passions, the start and end to all your days – it is important that it renews, sooths and still brings out a sense of your personality.
There are many whites to choose from, depending upon the brand and time of your purchase. Popular variants include: eggshell, satin white, Chantilly lace, linen white, cloud, cotton, ivory, and many more – all a shade of white.
Venturing out beyond the white colors, there are beiges and such. Taupe, tans, beiges, grays, and even blacks can fall in the neutral tones. Many times these colors will have a base hint of yellow, pink and blues to accent their soft tones.
However, this does not mean these colors have to be mundane. Many owners or occupants prefer the versatility of neutral colors, others enjoy the ability to change out their bedspreads and such without worrying about the wall colors.
Other traditional bedroom colors include the cool side of the color wheel. This wheel is made up of 12 colors, sprouting from the primary colors red, green and blue and form a triangle within the color wheel and set the pattern of hue relationships between the primary, secondary and complementary colors.
These cool colors include soft greens, blues and purples to add a hint of color without being overbearing or too decisively bold. Pale gray is also an alternative which allows a soft, muted color that is extremely versatile and an excellent background for any furniture or other accents.
Many times these bedrooms are solid colors with matching trim and ceilings; however, it does not necessarily have to be this way. Even traditional colors can be utilized in patterns and combinations to create a fresh look for your bedroom.
For example, one neutral shade can cover the walls, another for the trim and even a third shade to cover the ceilings. Trending in the Long Island, Manhasset and Great Neck areas often lead the way for new twists on these traditional styles. Many continue to utilize the traditional colors and add their unique design. It is always best whether you decide on traditional, or other more modern color schemes, that your chosen pallet accentuates your preferences and personality to ensure you get the feeling you desire from your efforts.
Even the soft, muted colors can present a striped pattern with just a shade of difference. A soft blue, trimmed in ivory and white ceiling lend to the illusion of a taller room and contrast in depth of the bedroom. Lilac and soft purples with a complimentary trim color can bring out a unique twist. Traditional colors can still be quite versatile and creative. Accessories can be changed, mixed and matched and new items introduced without disrupting the base colors of the bedroom. Traditional does not need to be boring, traditional is generally a little more conservative than the more modern bold and sometimes even contrasting patterns of color schemes which are applied.
