Most walls in Germany are painted white. Little wonder really, because you basically can’t go wrong with white: it is totally neutral and blends with every room design and furniture style. However, over time, a lack of colour can become rather boring. So, if you fancy a change and want to experience your apartment in a completely different light, why not consider coloured walls? Colours do more than simply express your personal style – they also improve the ambience of the room and affect your mood.
The design opportunities with colour are almost limitless. For instance, are you looking to visually increase the size of a room to create a more open atmosphere? In that case, we would recommend painting the walls in a light shade, such as jade, pink, beige, yellow or light blue. These shades are light and invigorating, exude positive energy and bring more life into your home. By contrast, many people still consider dark colours to be suffocating and dull. But this is quite wrong, because here too: it comes down to the proper combination! For instance, while a strong shade of blue helps to reduce stress, a wall painted in a deep orange colour can even increase productivity. When properly combined, dark colours can even give rooms a homely and cosy feel.
