There's aesthetic safety in bright white walls and light-toned paint colors. They're pretty predictable and easy to decorate around, yet there are grounds for why you should give dark colors a chance. There are a few things people never tell you about painting your walls dark colors, but a majority of them are positive.
Understanding these little-known points is the best step you can take if you're floating back and forth between sticking with a tried-and-true, off-white lacquer or something that feels like a bolder (dare we say risky) design decision. The leap from light to dark isn't as scary as you might think and these helpful ideas and myth-busting points might offer just enough reasoning to tip the scales in favor of an edgy midnight black or a deep, cocoa brown.
