It must be the lipstick of a femme fatale, the official colors of an elite school, or the rustic brick finish of a high-end hotel, but maroon is such a classy color. A red shade with undertones of brown, it feels more controlled and refined compared to its intense base hue. In color symbolism, maroon represents wisdom and thoughtfulness.
In interiors, painting walls maroon darkens a space, which is useful when creating a specific vibe. Depending on the accompanying decor, a certain shade imbues a space with sophistication or rustic charm. Sometimes, both! Which maroon paint color speaks to you?
A Charming Maroon Home
When going for a chic ambiance, get color inspirations from precious gems like a red onyx. Painting those deep regal tones can be a simple means to create a charming space.
It’s perfect for a place to impress like a sala. This color is also wonderful for a book nook. Try using the same color tone for furniture and curtains to double the luxurious feel.
Rosy and Cozy
The best place to relish the coziness of a dark color is in your own bedroom. Try out color drenching or color capping techniques to really savor your choice of color for your room.
Maroon from ceiling to your base boards can also be romantic and indulgent. Again, it all depends on how you personalize your space to get the vibe you want. Think like a maverick. Express your own style!
A Perfect Match for a Neutral
For many homes, a dark color can be challenging to incorporate, but maroon is a paint color that complements neutrals well. Try out color blocking or use the color to paint an accent wall. You still get that elegant quality without drenching an entire space in a dark color.
The colors above come from the Boysen Medley color collection, a set of paint colors pairs that go well together. Feel free to explore more dark red and neutral pairings from that collection.
Paint Your Home with Maroon!
It may be hard to choose the paint color for your home when there’s plenty of maroon choices in Boysen’s color palettes.
If you’re near Pasay City, it may be helpful for you to visit Boysen’s The Color Library located in SM Mall of Asia. It’s filled with color books that provide physical color references. You can also have paints mixed in 200-mL or 1-L containers, so you can test the colors in your home and see how it looks at different times of the day.
Once you’ve finalized your color choices, head to a Boysen Mix & Match Color Station. Found in most major home depots, the paint colors mentioned in this article can be mixed as Boysen Permacoat Latex, Boysen Healthy Home, or Virtuoso Silk Touch.
Maroon paints make a home feel high-end. Beyond this, create a room for the comfort of you and your loved ones.
