This article is for those who:
Choosing the right colour for your room is an important first step and not at all a small matter. As you browse the paint in the shop bear in mind the following:
Adventurous people tend to choose this colour for the bedroom. It makes the room feel exciting, especially during the day on natural light. It stimulates conversations, and… other things we tend to do in the bedroom. The colour red is known to raise blood pressure and heart rate, however, if you combine it with softer light, it won’t seem intrusive. If you already have red curtains, flooring or bedspread, choose another colour for the walls, otherwise, it would get overwhelming.
The colour blue is known to lower blood pressure and heart rate, however darker blue evokes melancholy, so our advice is to go for lighter shades. Blue promotes relaxation, but it’s also a cool colour, so it’s advisable to be combined with warm colours, like brown. A combination of blue and red, depending on the shades, could become too intense on the eyes, so we recommend to add the red sparingly.
Green promotes peace and relaxation, which is why many use it for the bedroom. However, it’s also a popular choice for kitchen walls. Green is a cool colour, so it combines perfectly with yellow, brown, and pink. Different shades of green in the same room go well together as well.
Yellow is uplifting and energetic. It promotes joy. Yellow also tends to expand the room and creates the illusion of more space. It’s a popular choice for living rooms, dining rooms, sitting rooms and generally rooms where lots of people get together. Yellow is also known to stimulate the nerves and make babies cry, but the effect is smaller when combined with light blue, turquoise and aquamarine.
For some reason, there’s an overwhelming amount of people who say purple is their favourite colour. So, if they decide to paint their room purple, it’s not just one shade, but a pallet of creative combinations of dark and light hues. It can get overwhelming but also gives off an aristocratic feel of the room.
Just like yellow, orange promotes energy and joy. Though, should you choose a darker shade, it makes the room feel warm. It can give off the feel of a constant sunset, especially when combined with warm brown.
Pink is a popular choice for a baby girl’s room. It’s known to promote relaxation and evokes feelings of joy and happiness. A lot of artists say that pink gets their creative juices flowing. Pink is basically a very light shade of red, so people associate it with romance and flirtation. The colour also brings in the feeling of spring into the room, especially if you have potted plants or a vase with freshly picked flowers. Pink also combines great with white and grey.
Black, white and grey usually aim to accentuate or subdue the more vibrant colours in the room. They are great in combinations. For example, grey walls could go amazing with white and pink furniture or flooring. A combination of black and white in a room gives a modern feel to any room.
Now that you chose your colours, it’s time to gather your tools for the actual work.
Before starting the actual paint job, you have to prepare the room, so it would be comfortable for you to work in.
