Avoid These Paint Colors At All Costs

Given that you likely treat your bedroom as your private space where you can relax and enjoy your own company, you definitely want to make sure you design it to be as cozy and comfortable as possible. While yes, that does mean picking a soft bed, cute bed sheets, and nice decor pieces, you can't forget about your wall color. You might be surprised just how much of an impact it can have on the whole vibe of your room! That's why you need to avoid these five ugly paint colors at all costs.

1. Dark Brown

While brown is definitely an earthy and warm color, the last thing you want is for your bedroom to feel closed off and stuck in constant nighttime. Dark brown will instantly make your room feel much smaller, and if you don't have any natural light, it'll make things even worse.

2. Mustard Yellow

A seemingly impossible color to pair with anything, mustard yellow is sadly just not very appealing to look at. It looks incredibly muddy, and while a bright or pale yellow can really liven up a room, this color does the exact opposite. It leaves you confused about what the mood of your bedroom is supposed to be.

3. Lime Green

While green can be a nice color for your walls, it definitely depends on the shade. Because while forest green can add a nice earthy touch to your room, lime green is far too bright and obnoxious. It's a color that immediately demands your attention and refuses to let you look anywhere else. And how exactly do you color coordinate the rest of your room? Not much goes with something as vibrant as lime green.

4. Bright Orange

Speaking of over-the-top colors, bright orange definitely belongs on this list. While a nice, pale sunset orange can add a beautiful glow to your bedroom and provide a nice warmth, bright orange simply reminds you of the fruit. While it's a fun and lively shade, you'll find it difficult to color match, and you'll slowly realize just how loud this color can truly be.

5. Magenta Pink

Unless you want to pretend you live in Barbie's Dreamhouse, we would highly recommend staying away from using magenta pink in your bedroom. This in-your-face shade will never quiet down, and you may regret picking such a vibrant shade on those days when you want a bit of peace and quiet.
