Choosing the right color to paint a wall can be a challenging task. An enormous palette of colors offers countless combinations beyond the shades of white. While key tips include analyzing lighting, conducting color tests on the actual wall, considering combinations of tones and textures, and understanding your style, it is important to note that not everything must adhere to strict rules. There are numerous creative ways to introduce different shades to your home. Explore some examples from Brazilian apartments below:

Whole Walls

Painting an entire wall can draw more attention to it. However, when opting for this approach, it's also possible to enhance the continuity of the space by considering how this wall can serve as a surface connecting multiple environments. Another option is to extend the chosen color to the ceiling or floor, creating a geometric interplay in the space based on the selected tones.

Murals

Instead of a single and flat color on a wall, you can think of it as a blank canvas and add art. Whether painted in just one color or several, creating a mural can bring a lot of personality to the space.
