Using color in interior design can seem like a daring experience. But even in small rooms the right wall color can make a big impression and give  an entire room a wonderful design.

In this post we want to give you some examples for room color done right! And who knows? Maybe you find inspiration and motivation to give your home a color makeover.

Red walls are admittedly more tricky to get right in the design of a room. This office design works perfectly around a pinkish red shade.

This is a great example for a room with orange walls that is not too overwhelming. The woden floor and white shades balance the powerful color out and accentuate it well.

This sophisticated living room is very elegant and put together. And the green wall color shows that even a traditional interior design layout can play with not so traditional wall color choices.

We know that black is not really a color if you are being strict about definitions. But we think it is just so impressive and beautiful if done right, like in this living room, that you should not overlook its possibilities!

Alright, pink walls are not for everyone. But a toned down color version like in this living room might convince even doubters from the opposite.

We hope that these images gave you the inspiration needed to experiment with the wall colors in your home. If you do not want the full commitment, try an accent wall or using a colorful wallpaper in a limited area, instead. Always consider the overall room size, room layout and light situation of a room before you make a color commitment.

Happy home renovating!
