What color to paint the walls if you have dark furniture

The colors in the decoration are very important, since a bad choice of them will make us not be comfortable with our home.

It is essential to find balance. When we have a house with dark furniture we must choose with caution the color of the walls.

If we paint a color because we simply “like it” it can be a very overloaded or dark room.

Let’s see some examples of walls combining with dark colors. So you can get an idea of the result and opt for the best painting for your case.

Black furniture and white walls

It’s all about the perfect color contrast. Both colors generate a balance in the house that will provide a sense of tranquility.

But you must be careful, since it can be a decoration very lifeless. If you opt for these colors it is recommended that you provide other shades with complements.

Choose a third color that has a vivid hue and use it for cushions, carpets, paintings… whatever you prefer. But the touch of a third color is essential.

Black furniture and gray walls

The gray walls, as long as it is not in a very dark shade, combine perfectly with the black furniture. It gives a sober and elegant appearance.

If this is the case you can paint the living room or a bedroom. In any room it will be fine.

Brown furniture and white walls

Brown and white is a safe bet. But this mixture of colors improves if the brown is of a dark hue. The contrast will be fable.

Muebles marrones y paredes grises

Al igual que vimos con el negro y el gris, el marrón y el gris aportan una decoración muy elegante.

Se consigue ir un paso mas allá que simplemente pintado la pared de blanco.

Brown furniture and blue walls

If there is a combination of colors that I personally like, it is brown with blue. And this can be carried to home decoration.

If you have brown furniture you can consider the possibility of painting the wall in this color. However, you must be careful, as you will run the risk of having a very dark room.

If you do not have much experience painting walls or decorating the home I recommend that you opt for easier colors such as white or gray. But if you like the idea and think you can get a good result, go for this combination.

Cherry furniture and white walls

Cherry colored furniture is very common. If you want to go on safe I recommend that you paint the walls whiteYou will not fail.

The gray color also admits to combine with the cherry tree. It will not be a room as bright as with white but the result is still good.

Here you must make sure that you have a good entry of light. Place white curtains so that the sun illuminates as much as possible.

Green furniture and white walls

Do you have some green furniture? Then do not think about it and paint the walls white. Both colors look great together.

As you can see there are many combinations when you have dark furniture. With these examples you have seen you can decide what color you want and paint the walls.

But don’t worry too much about the outcome. If after a while you get tired of the color you can buy a different paint and change the shade. Making these changes from time to time give freshness to our home.
