Best Paint for dark rooms
Choosing the right paint colour for your room is especially important. Depending on the kind of room you have you need to make sure that you find the right tones of colours which match and follow suit to your rooms environment for the best finish. This will lead to you finding that best paint for dark rooms.
For example in a very bright airy room you could use either more neutral or bright colours for a good result where as with a dark room you would generally need to use mainly bright paint to make sure it stands out.
The kind of room you have will always be key in determining which colours should be used. In the following blog post I will highlight some of the best paints, the best brands and also where to go about buying them from.
We will first discuss about choosing suitable paint for dark rooms.
Paint for dark rooms
As mentioned above when painting up dark rooms we always advise going for brighter paints when looking to brighten them out. Below we will look at some lively colour examples of how we can do this.
1. Sky Light blue
The first colour on our list of brightening up a gloomy darkened room is the beautiful colour sky blue. Not only is sky blue natural but it also gives out that perfect natural look and feel. It is a must at brightening up any darkened room.

Another very refreshing colour for your room is light green. Like its blue counterpart the colour really is naturally prone at lighting that room up. Certainly not a choice to be missed out.

6. White
Although more traditional another very good colour at brightening up your room is the colour white. Not only is the choice very straight forward but it also provides a very natural straight forward look and after finish.
Things to consider
The above are just some examples of colours we can use to brighten up our rooms tho no light level will always be the same with some rooms been darker and or lighter than others. For example if you are looking to really lively bright up your room (going from very dark to bright ) then we recommend naturally more bright colours such as yellow and white whereas otherwise light colours such as blues and greens should do the job in a slightly more lighter setting.
Before proceeding to choose your ideal paint colour first determine your rooms light level then choose accordingly, remembering the more light your room has the less pronounced your colours need to be. (Whites and yellows for very dark rooms and sky blue,greens for rooms which have a more moderated dark level) .
