3 Wall Colors, 1 Room

I normally tell my clients that if they want to mix wall colors, meaning to put different colors on each wall of the room, that they should do so, with all neutral colors and one bold color. For example, 3 sides of the room, beige and the other maroon (dark red). I say this because you do not want the room to be overwhelming with different colors, you want the room to feel together and completed, not messy and confusing. However, when done with the right colors and with the correct neutral texture color, painting your walls completely different colors, can work.


This room has kiwi, melon, and teal! But doesn't it look great?! I love how they used soft brown with a velvet texture to tie everything together to make the entire room look completed and together. This room was done by Derek and Patrick from Chicago. If you are also interested in completing a look with 3 paint tones, I suggest that you pick out your colors carefully and once you do, buy the paint at least 2 shades lighter, most paint will darken as it dries. Make sure you tie in at least one color used on the walls, such as in the pictures; teal rugs. Also notice the pillows match perfectly. Little things can make a big difference in making a room feel and look complete. Email with any questions you have!
