Paint Part of The Room

Remember that when you’re considering painting a room using dark interior paint colors, you do not have to paint the whole room the same color. You could paint just one wall with a dark tone to be an accent wall. Another striking idea is to paint two walls a light color and two walls a dark color. This can work very nicely, as you get a significant amount of dark without it being overwhelming.

Add Accent Colors

If you decide to paint all the walls a dark color, it’s very important to include other, lighter colors. These can be brought in with bright furniture, art, curtains, and so on. These accents will really stand out, making an important dramatic statement. Choose colors you like, and watch them pop!

Dark Colors Other Than Black

Consider using dark colors that aren’t black. While black is probably the most dramatic of these colors (and it is definitely in style), it’s the one that can be most prone to creating a dismal atmosphere, and we don’t want that. Consider navy blue, a deep gray, a rich brown, or a dark green.

Natural Light

It’s important that the room has plenty of windows. This will cheer up any room, and is particularly important with a dark colored room. So choose a well-lit room for your dark colors, and you can also use mirrors  to magnify the natural light.
