It's almost summer time, and this blogger loves bright, summery colors! I am celebrating jewel tones today and giving you painting ideas for bright colored walls in your own home to make them look designer fabulous.
Prepare your eyes for some major color explosion and inspiration as we discuss how to paint walls in jewel tones.
Apartment Therapy and Better Homes and Gardens offer us some beautiful images of brightly colored interiors done right.
Bright blue is a daring color to choose, but if you commit, commit all the way. Vintage homes with light wood floors are a great palette for light blue walls accented with whites, creams and pops of more saturated colors.
Layering blues like with the headboard of this adorable bedroom brings depth to the wall color, while a bright white chair rail makes the hallway look crisp, clean and contemporary even though it is a vintage-inspired look.
This fun, bohemian kitchen embraces color in so many wonderful ways. As far as painting ideas go, faux-wainscoting is a great way to go.
The green faux-wainscoting here reminds me of bright and fresh herbs, while the multicolored rugs and accent fabrics bring in flair and spice.
This adorable kitchen should show you that you can mix all kinds of color and it can still be fabulous; if you're going to go there, why not go all the way?
My favorite jewel tone accent is probably deep purple. It packs such a powerful punch while still feeling very feminine and delicate.
I also love how deep purple goes so well with turquoise and gold, and can be accented so easily.
What is very important in both of the rooms above however, is the major appearance of white. A deep jewel tone like purple needs the contrast in order to work as well as it does.
A white pendant light or modern office chair adds the contrast the room needs.
Teal and turquoise are stunning and should definitely be explored if you're looking to add some fresh color to your space.
Again this base color works very well with bright, loud accents. Whether in a kid's room or a grown-up's room, the color translates well to any space and brings character, fun and freedom.
