“Discover the 12 Daring Paint Colors You’ll Wish You Never Tried—Is Your Home on the List?”
4. Blush Pink
Blush pink can be lovely, but go all in with this rosy hue, and you might feel like you’re living in a cotton candy cloud. While it’s perfect for a child’s room or a small accent wall, too much blush pink can be overwhelming.
Avoid it, especially if you’re planning to paint a large room. It works best for smaller rooms to make them feel bigger. Try breaking the pink up with other colors, like beige or white.
5. Bright Yellow
Yellow is the color of sunshine, so how could things possibly go wrong? When it’s too bright, it can feel like you’re living inside a lemon. Instead of creating a cheery, uplifting space, it has the potential to overstimulate, especially if you use it in a bedroom.
Bright yellow also has the weird superpower of bouncing light off walls in every direction, which can be a bit intense. A little yellow goes a long way, so maybe save the boldness for a fun throw pillow or piece of art instead.
6. Dark Brown
Dark brown can add warmth and coziness to a space, but sometimes it feels overdone. Instead of giving off a rich, earthy vibe, it might feel like you’re living in Charlie’s Chocolate Factory. While that sounds magical, it might not be as comforting as you’d hope.
Dark brown can also make spaces feel smaller and a bit gloomy. Unless you’re going for that cozy cabin-in-the-woods feel (without the actual cabin), you might want to rethink using this shade for your main living areas.
