Hey Hive community! I’m trying to repaint my room, but I’m stuck on choosing the right color. It feels just like picking the perfect makeup shade—so many options, each with a different vibe!
Since makeup and home decor both rely on colors, accessories, and lighting, I thought, why not use beauty as my guide to finding the perfect wall paint? Here’s what I’m considering:
- Choosing the Right Color: Walls vs. Makeup
I want a color that will set the right mood for my space, just like how makeup defines a look. I’ve narrowed it down to three ideas:
Bold & Vibrant.
Soft & Subtle
Dark & Mysterious

Now, I’m torn! Do I go for something warm and lively, or do I keep it chic and understated?
- Accessories Complete the Look (and the Room!)
I realized that the wall color alone won’t be enough—I need the right decorations to bring the space to life! Just like accessories complete an outfit, decor makes all the difference in a room.
Wall Art = Jewelry: A striking painting or framed print could make the space pop, just like bold earrings.
Mirrors = Highlighter: They add light and dimension, just like a good glow on the face.
Throw Pillows & Rugs = Eyeshadow: The little touches that pull the whole look together!
So now, I’m wondering—should I go for minimalist elegance or add bold, eye-catching decor to match my wall color?
3 Lighting Changes Everything
I also have to think about lighting! The same way makeup can look completely different in natural vs. artificial light, a wall color can change based on the lighting in a room.
Bright Lights gives a Fresh Look: Just like good skincare, they enhance natural tones.
Warm Lights just like that of bronzer adds warmth and softness
A Touch of Glam: Like a shimmer highlight, they add a dreamy effect.
I need to decide—should I go for a bright and airy space or a cozy, relaxed vibe?
