Just as with exterior paint, selecting the correct colours for interior spaces requires imagination. The
floor and ceiling surfaces cannot be ignored, as they are main elements
of colour combination. Generally ceilings are painted white for a
number of reasons although mostly for their ability to keep rooms
looking bright and to avoid taking attention away from the wall colour.
Lighter ceiling colours can also help to make a room appear larger and
more open. Changing away from
white ceilings is a great way to change the overall appearance of a
house. Ceiling colours should bring in and complement the walls and the
floor.
The
easiest way to choose colours is via brochures or paint sample pots.
Most hardware stores supply these brochures for customers to take home.
Painters should take their time looking at these brochures and comparing
the colours to their existing floor and window coverings.
Each
colour has psychological effects that can influence the mood of the
occupants. Some of the most popular colours used for interior painting
include:
Black and Grey
Whilst black is usually associated with solemness it can also represent sophistication and style.
Homeowners are increasingly choosing it for
trim and accents they want to be dramatic. Black is the perfect contrast
for white and the amount that is used can be adjusted accordingly. With
the right furniture and décor, black is ideal for living rooms,
bedrooms and ultra-modern kitchens.
Grey
could be considered drab if not accessorised with bold colours. Anyone
who has grown tired of white paint should consider grey tones. Grey
paint is cooler than white and more versatile as it manages to blend
well with most furniture. It provides the perfect backdrop for splashes
of strong bold colour.
Brown
Brown
is earthy and honest. This classic earth tone can be applied to living
and work areas as it brings about a feeling of nature. Brown needs to be
used in areas that get a lot of natural light. Beige and mocca are
neutral colours that particularly work well in homes.
Green
Some greens can create a natural atmosphere however darker tones can be seen as military like. Maritime
greens are perfect for the office as they inspire concentration, whilst
cool forest greens can be used in bedrooms and bathrooms.
Red and pink
Red
is the colour of passion and it is now increasingly used in stylish
living rooms and bedrooms. Flat red is modern and darker shades of red
conjure up feelings of warmth.
Pink
is a soft romantic colour but it also represents innocence. This is the
traditional colour for little girls rooms. Hot pink must be used with
care in spaces that get a lot of sunlight, as it can make the room feel
dark.
Yellow
Yellow
is a happy colour that increases confidencee and can be very versatile.
Pale yellows used in sunlit rooms are very inviting, especially in the
morning time. Darker yellows can add warmth to a room even in the winter
time. Bright yellows help reduce the amount of artificial light needed
and are ideal for any room in the house.
Orange
Orange
is a very invigorating and joyful colour. Pastel oranges are great for
interior spaces such as bedrooms and bathrooms. Bright orange is the
contrast of gray and can be dynamic, while darker and burnt orange tones
have a similar effect as the brown hues.
Blue
Blue
is the colour of calm and masculinity. Baby blue will always be a
popular colour choice for young boys. When applied to a ceiling, a light
blue can conjure images of a cloudless sky and increase the sense of
space. Pale to medium blues can be used around the house to achieve a
cooling effect.
Selecting the right paint should go beyond collecting paint
swatches or choosing a shade from the catalogue. Purchasing inexpensive
paint samples and small brushes to bring home for testing is the best.
The goal is to paint a small section of the wall, a square with an area
of just a few inches is sufficient. Allow the small painted patch to dry
and observe how it looks under the lighting conditions at different
times of the day.
