Posted by: admin : Category: If you have an open floor plan and want to paint the kitchen and living room different colors, how do you transition from one color to the other? Is there just a line on the wall where one color stops and the other begins?
it could end on the end of each wall, just make sure that u got the same family of colors so it would blend (tints / tones / shades).
lets say you got mid-green in the kitchen, u must have mid-blue in the living.. u know what i mean? dont use pastel in the kitchen then use primary in the living.. wall colors should blend if u got an open floor plan.
but, cornice, baseboards, etc. must have same color still. if u want to cut it w/ color, try to use some false column in between.
having a paint pattern on the other room (living) could also help. ex: kitchen is old salmon, at the end of the wall connecting to the living can be painted in stripes of mocha & ochre.
but 1st, try some paint swatches & put them together imagining that those are small walls, if it’s good then that’s it!
good luck!

If your open concept home is contemporary in design and decor. I have seen an interesting solution. It sounds bizarre, but the home owner made an abrupt transition from one color to the other by making an abstract ess type curve . It was made using a high quality paint masking tape that kept the edges absolutely sharp with no blurring or bleeding of colors into one another. Very impressive!!!!!
Just an idea
Good luck

Paint two adjoining walls the same color. Paint the other two adjoining walls a color 3 shade deeper. Very dramatic.
