What Color Should My Bonus Room Be?

Bonus rooms usually have the “odd wall” with a partial ceiling and perhaps not to much light. How do you work around this? With color!

Before we determine the color of the room, we have to know the function of the room. What is this bonus room used for? Storage? Playroom? Man Cave? Most of the homes in South Charlotte that I've chosen color for use the bonus room for the kids so playroom it is.

Keeping in mind there is usually just two small windows in this room, you'll need to use a fairly light color, but still have enough pigment in it to be youthful and playful. 

I chose this green as the main color. Why is green a good color for a playroom? Because it's universal, both a boy and a girl like the color without being to gender specific. 

Take the green over the entire ceiling so you don't have that awkward white landing strip. Making it all one color will also make it appear larger. Take the yellow and put in on the accent wall where the window is - you can do this on both sides of the room. Add a splash of yellow to the bookcases to tie in the look and you're done!

If you'd like to know what these two colors are or to choose the perfect color for you bonus room, you can contact me if you live in the South Charlotte area.
