A simple splash of colour can transform your home. Though, there are a lot of factors to consider when adding colour to your home as colour accounts for 60% of our responsiveness when it comes to objects. But which paint colour is the best for you? Read below to find out more.
Gloss
Update rooms with glossy frames. Paint the trimmings with a glossy finish in a shade that is complimentary to the wall colour to highlight the area. Colouring trimmings help to differentiate one area from another, which adds interests, and gloss is durable which is suitable for busy family gatherings.
Sky High Ceilings
Ceilings are often painted a bland colour not drawing much attention. Ceiling décor is trending and becoming a focal point, particularly for entertaining. Add a sheen colour to brighten up the space or glossy stencil pattern for high styling. Remember to always compliment lighting in place so the ceiling does not look out of place.
Texture
Integrating texture helps to break up a monochromatic space and add warmth to an area. Bead board, paintable wall coverings and glazing over pre existing colour will create an interesting three-dimensional look, which adds intrigue.
Mood
When deciding to paint a room, try to envision the mood of the room and how you want people to feel when they enter. For example, would you like your dining area to be sociable and entertaining or formal? In this instance, warmer colours create a sociable atmosphere while neutrals and deep blues help create a formal area.
Lighting Tips
Consider what lighting you have when painting a room as light plays a large role in presenting a colour. Natural light will show the truest colour, Incandescent lightings shows warms tones and fluorescent lighting. The key is to test out a small patch with paint to see if it fits well into the room.
