Wall Painting: 2021 palette

It is never too early to think about spring and how to renovate your villa Lago Maggiore. Here are suggestions for new pops of color in the home

If you're wondering if it's too early to think about renovating your home during spring time, the answer is no. Changes in the house, including the painting colors for the walls, take time and thought, so it's better to move ahead.

Moreover, especially in this period when home life has become our main dimension, it is even more important to make sure that your environment is welcoming, relaxing, truly in line with your style.

We have therefore collected some tips for painting the walls of your home, following Spring / Summer 2021 trends.


FIRST STEP: WHITE OR COLOR?


Choosing the colors to paint the walls is not a trivial task, which requires research and above all attention, in order not to make decisions dictated only by personal taste or by current trends.


White is usually the most used color to paint the walls, since it is universal and timeless, it makes spaces clean and bright and enhances the colors of furniture and details.


But our luxury villas Lake Maggiore also deserve a touch of color, so here are a few simple rules that you shouldn't forget: the shades must be consistent with your decor and with the type of lighting, both natural and artificial.


Generally, if the rooms are very bright you can dare with more charged shades, while if the spaces are small it is better to opt for delicate shades that let the environment breathe.

PAINT THE WALLS WITH CONTRASTING COLORS


Painting only one of the walls creates movement and makes the environment more dynamic and is an increasingly used choice. In this case the rule is creating harmony with the spaces and objects with which the wall has to communicate.


The typical combination in these cases is with white, but if you like the idea of using two colors, choose complementary colors, also playing on the intensity of the nuances. And don't forget that at least one of the two colors must be in harmony with the floor in order not to create too much confusion!

THE 2021 SEASONAL PANTONE'S PALETTE


Each season Pantone company publishes through its Pantone Color Institute a study that analyzes the main fashion trends and anticipates the shades and moods arriving for the following season. The Fashion Color Trend Report, just published, presents the trend forecast for Spring / Summer 2021 in which colors with a bright and joyful character stand out, perhaps also a wish for a new season that is more open and serene, in every sense.


ALL PANTONE COLORS FOR SPRING-SUMMER


The warm season is dominated by warm and energetic colors such as the golden orange of Marigold and the rust hue of Rust. The Burnt Coral takes us instead towards marine atmospheres, with a coral color of great charm, while Illuminating is a bright and intense yellow like a sunny day.


Remember that painting the walls in warm tones requires special attention, because although comforting and welcoming, they also tend to catalyze attention and are notoriously less suitable for relaxation than colors such as blue, light blue or green. For example, the delicate Cerulean and the bright and lively French Blue are ideal for painting walls in the bathroom or bedroom, but can create a great effect when combined wisely in other rooms.


Green Ash and Mint are one the border between light blue and green: painting the walls of the kitchen or bedroom with these light and fresh colors will certainly give a touch of liveliness and energy.


The latest proposals are perhaps more daring, but if there is the possibility and the desire to dare ... why not create contrasting walls, choosing the floral Amethyst Orchid or the soft Raspberry Sorbet?

AND FOR THOSE WHO LOVE CLASSICAL STYLE?


If you prefer a more classical style and are planning to buy historical Villas Lago Maggiore, know that there is no shortage of more canonical colors, although personalized with a touch of novelty. Buttercream is an easy and versatile ivory dye; Ultimate Gray is a cold gray, ideal for combinations with warm details; Desert Mist is a gentle and soothing apricot ideal for bedroom walls. 


With these tips we hope to have given you ideas and inspiration on how to give a new touch of color to the walls. At this point, you just have to browse the Pantone 2021 palette and imagine the new spring look of your villa Lago Maggiore.
