Placeholder ImagePaint Colors You Could Try in Dark Rooms of Your House Today, we’ll be helping you decide what paint colors you should use in dark rooms of your home.

Are you looking to get the interior of your home painted? If so, you’ll have to decide what colors to paint the different surfaces of each room. Some rooms receive plenty of natural light, but there are other rooms that might not have that luxury, and it can be difficult determining which colors are best to use in these darker spaces. That’s why, today, we’ll be helping you decide what paint colors you should use in dark rooms of your home.

Consider Using Pastels

Pastel paint colors are great for bringing light into darker rooms. If you’re trying to promote a more lively atmosphere, colors like pink and lavender can be perfect for lifting the mood. While a color like white sounds like a good idea for a dark room, considering that it reflects light, it’s not as good as it sounds because darker rooms have less light to reflect, resulting in your room looking even more dim. Pastel paint colors allow you to create a more vibrant space while still offering aesthetic appeal.

Go With Gray

Gray sounds like it would be a dreary color for a dark room, but as far as paint colors for dark rooms go, gray is actually surprisingly appealing. If you use a lighter shade of gray, you can lighten interior spaces that don’t get much natural light. This color doesn’t reflect as much light as white, but it absorbs less than black. This lets gray serve as a healthy compromise that lets you brighten your room in a more subtle way.

Go Bright, But Not White

As we said before, white can actually make darker rooms look less appealing because there’s less natural light to reflect. With that said, there are other bright paint colors you could try instead. Colors like orange, yellow, and green can all bring more life to dark rooms. Just pick the color that suits your own style best. After that, you can bring the room together with other dominant colors to bring continuity to your interior design.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
