How to Use Golden Hues in Your Home

Jacobsen Brothers Painting • September 4, 2021

Are autumn colors your favorite? If soft, cozy goldenrods, champaigns and saffrons melt your heart, there are several ways to use them to warm up your Boulder, CO, home or office. The professionals at Jacobsen Brothers Painting can help you build a whole house color palette that features your love for golden hues.


Since fall colors can be intense, consider starting with a soothing, washed out hue and then build color interest on top of that backdrop. You can still have splashes of pumpkin, maroon or sunflower yellow, but the milder color on the walls will keep the overall feeling tranquil. Let’s look at some individual rooms and how they can showcase the gentle beauty that can be harvested from fall’s amazing colors.


Dining Room

The dining room is a great place to display an array of fall hues. Warm colors stimulate the appetite, and a homespun wheat color on the walls will help everyone unwind as they enjoy a meal together. Or try an enigmatic clay hue that can instantly create an intimate atmosphere in the room.


Living Room

Gather the family in this room with a generous amount of ivory in the décor. A blushed peach can warm up the space and complement the color of your accent pillows, art and rug. Lots of different textures can work wonders in this complement of colors. A bit of copper in an accent piece draws the eye and blends perfectly with the autumn highlights.


Bedroom

If you’d like a light, comfortable bedroom, focus on using crisp linen colors and a washed greige for the comfy, lived-in look. Or, go with graceful greens, soft sages or dusty olives for a deeper, more restful atmosphere. Even a browned butter color will erase the day’s frenzy and help you relax.


Laundry Room

This is the room in which to infuse enthusiasm. Try an energizing burnt orange or a goldenrod color on the walls to stimulate the senses. Take the bore out of the chore with a color that thrills your soul.


Kitchen

A kitchen that’s appetizing to the eyes will inspire you to new culinary heights. Try a warm caramel coffee that brings out the color in the countertop. Or, add a kiss of French vanilla for a lighter, brighter kitchen that creates just the right background for your eye-catching dishes. Cabinets professionally painted with a reposeful evergreen create a stately kitchen with a touch of elegance.
