Home Remodeling Plans For Christmas

Christmas is a time to celebrate family relationship and friendship. And there is no better mood enhancer than the colors that you see inside your home. And since your living room and dining area is the most visited part of your house, why not start simple home remodeling plans that is desirable for the season.

In some ways, and some says, colors is more important than any other actual design elements. In different concepts, color adds value to our homes and creates mood and elevates feelings to anyone who dwells in it. The addition of colors can make a difference. You don’t need to paint your entire house for the holidays but just add some touch of paint to a certain portion of your house.

Of course, when we say Christmas, ornaments like Christmas trees and lights or other decors plays a large part, but this I should tell you: coloring your walls or ceiling, or a simple trimming paint job can create a mood that will sing “we wish you a merry Christmas.”

Interior house painting may seem complicated if you don’t know the basics of it; that is why there are so many house painters that offer their services, but if you have painting skills the task is very much easy – all you have to know now is which colors are in fashion.

Colors red and green are the official colors of Christmas. You can incorporate it to your decors but I highly doubt that you’d incorporate both colors on your walls. Talk about redundancy, right?


You can opt, however, with a monochromatic theme. You can use red or a green individually and add proportion or texture to it for a more dimensional view also by painting a color that is in the color family or red or green respectively.

Christmas is always a winter season, so majority of homeowners gravitate toward warmer tones to create a mood of warmth inside the home. Best examples of warm colors include red, yellow, orange, and also includes a neutral hue like beige. But if you want to feel the winter inside the house, you can paint snow-themed colors like white, blue, silver, or other cool tones.

If you are the type of person who deviates from one-colored or warm-cool tone themes, you can make your own color combinations for Christmas.

When mixing colors it may be helpful to remember that most colors of equal depth will “go” together and same goes with complimentary colors. Here are some endless color combinations that you can find very useful in house painting for the Christmas holidays:
