Best paint colors for your condo

Whether you’re renovating, doing a makeover, or moving into a new space, choosing a paint color for your condo is one of the most important aspects of your home’s interior design. Choosing the right shade of color is more than just aesthetic. It doesn’t just enhance your space, but it can affect your mood and overall experience. You’ll be surprised at how a fresh coat of paint can transform the ambience of your room from dull to cozy, stylish, and vibrant.

While white is a common color choice, there are other classy and elegant color choices depending on the feel that you’re going for in the different areas of your condo. Need some inspiration? Here are some top color schemes to help you decide:  

1. Living Room

The living room is where people converge to bond and have conversations, so you want to convey warmth in this area. 

Earthy colors

Warm tones like neutral brown, earthy ochre, or muted terracotta work best for the living room. These colors are welcoming and stimulate connection.

Yellow

If you want a more cheerful vibe for your living room, a soft shade of yellow is also a good option. It offers a calming, summer atmosphere and makes the room look cozier.

2. Kitchen

For the kitchen, you can base your paint color choice on the existing equipment such as cabinets and countertops. For example, warm tones would complement wood cabinets and shelves.

Light gray

Light gray or pale gray is an ideal color choice if you have white cabinets. It gives the kitchen a light and fresh feel. This is also a good color choice if you have copper or gold metallic accents in your kitchen, such as cabinet handles or faucets.

Cream

If you want a homey and cozy atmosphere in your kitchen, you will never go with beige or cream colored cabinets. It exudes elegance and complements wood cabinets. 

Soft mint

If your kitchen doesn’t have a lot of natural light, a soft mint paint color will open up your kitchen and give it a more airy vibe. It will not only make your kitchen look bigger, but it will also add a feeling of cleanliness.

3. Dining Area

The dining room is often used for gatherings and, therefore, should exude your personality. If you’re the lively host, bright colors will work best for your dining room. If you want a more laid-back ambiance, consider going for light colors.

Bright tones

A sunny yellow provides an energetic feel and radiates positivity in your dining room. Alternately, choosing shades such as sunset orange or wine red can stimulate connections and appetite and would also work well for a dining room. 

Green

Using green in the dining room can bring in energy and warmth to the room. It gives off a sense of freshness and nature. It would be best to complement green paint with fresh plants and flowers to mimic an outdoor dining setting. 

Neutral
