Yes! Painting walls and trim in the same colour is gaining in popularity. Whether you choose a light neutral colour or a darker tone, it is more than okay to paint your walls, skirting, window and door trim, doors, and even your ceilings all the same colour.
The rules these days have relaxed. So there isn’t anything you “should” or shouldn’t do. It’s whatever look you prefer. White walls and trim certainly can all be the same colour. Your space will feel larger and more fluent. You can also choose two white colours that coordinate but don’t exactly match. Be careful though, a cool white and warm white may not give you the effect you are hoping for.
There are so many advantages in staying with the same colour selection. You can even extend your colour to your built in cabinets. The overall aesthetic of your space will be completely transformed.
Using contrasting paint colours breaks up the individual area whilst continuing with the same colour unifies the areas. The effect can certainly vary depending on your choice of colour. From open and spacious to warm and cozy. If saving time and effort sounds like a great idea, then one colour choice has your name written all over it!
Utilising a unified paint colour enables you even greater flexibility with your design in other areas of your space. Remember when it was essential to have a feature wall?
With the walls, trim and ceiling the same colour, you get a result of ceilings appear taller and walls appear wider than they really are. Everything seems larger and more open.
The beauty of this trend is that it can fit seamlessly into any design style. Your feature furniture, home decor and artwork will become even more of the hero in the room. Better still, your painter will love you for your simple selection!
