You want your luxury home to come as a complete package. This means high-end interior design, premium materials, top-of-line appliances, the latest smart home technology, and a color palette that complements the affluent surroundings.
Paint color reflects the owner’s aesthetic and serves to tie all the elements of your home, especially if the decor is eclectic.
Don’t know where to start? Below are some tips to help you pick luxury home interior paint colors suitable for your property.
- Revisit your floor plans
Floor plans will give you an overview of the entire house and allow you to plan the progression and cohesion of the home. How can paint colors help you transition the functionality of one room to another? Will the layout of your home benefit from a homogeneous paint job or will colors that evoke a variety of moods fit better in particular spaces? Paint can make or unmake the flow of your space, and highlight or downplay the high-end interior design of your luxury home.
- Decide on a theme
With a better overview of your home, you can now decide on a theme or a color palette. Choosing a theme will determine the color choices in your home. A beachy or nautical theme may mean using more shades of blue or green, while an earthy, muted vibe means a play on brown and tan. Themes could run the gamut, from Victorian to tropical, mid-century to pop culture-inspired.
- Determine the vibe of your luxury home
A tried and tested practice is referencing color psychology when choosing the colors for your luxury home – red and yellow for energy, confidence, and positivism, while blue and green for a more calming feel. Soft neutral colors give a more airy, laidback vibe, while earthy colors give off a safe and secure feeling.
- Learn the basics of mixing colors
When choosing which colors to go together in your luxury home, below are some of the most popular combinations:
- Black and white. The classic luxury feel, straightforward, and just plain elegant. These can be accent colors too.
- Dark blue. A substitute for black. Dark and saturated blues and midnight blues are now popular in luxury properties.
- Gold and gray. Less stark than black and white, the combination of gray and gold is equally elegant, clean, and crisp, with a hint of grandeur.
- Orange and gold. For that warm earthy vibe, this combination is perfect for that splash of color on a luxurious black or nude finish.
- Pastel. The soothing palette gives an airy and light feel to a space when combined with white and other muted colors.
- Nature. Bringing nature indoors is another popular option. Go for airy sea foam or forest green for a serene vibe.
- Be creative
One of the best parts of having a luxury home is that you are the boss when deciding on how you want it to look. Don’t limit yourself to paint. Combine color and texture in your upholstery, window treatments, and home decor. Other elements that can bring together your luxury home interior design are metal and wood accents, unique lighting fixtures, and the shape of your furniture.
