So, you’re considering painting your home interior. There are many factors to consider when choosing a paint colour and pattern. Some people might go with an extravagant choice to add flair to the room, while others might want a neutral colour for simplicity. No matter what you choose, it’s important to consider the function of the room and how often you’ll be in it.
This article will talk about how important it is to take into consideration the type and function of your space when selecting your paint colours or patterns and much more. Here’s out top 6 tips directly from our painters:
1. Why Paint in the First Place
There are many reasons people paint their interiors. You might be replacing wallpaper or painting over faded paint. Perhaps the children have outgrown it and it is time to paint again.
Knowing why you are painting in the first place can help you decide what steps to take to complete your project. It is more than just deciding on the right colour paint for your home. This can be a huge job, and you will be more successful in ensuring that the result is exactly what you imagined.
2. Theme
Is there a theme to your home? Some people prefer dark colours while others prefer a more traditional look. No matter what your taste, match your new paint job to your home’s theme. Even if you only paint one wall of your home, the colour must reflect the overall theme.
3. Color
Colours can create so much emotion. Particularly if you want to maintain or create a new theme in your home’s interior. The most important decision you will make is choosing the right colour. This step is important because it will give you years of enjoyment when you enter your home.
With so many options available, it can be easy to get lost in the decision-making process. It is important to understand what you are painting and why.
It’s a good idea to bring home some colour samples. You can see which colours will work in the area you are planning to paint by comparing the swatch to the actual surface.
4. Timeframe
You’ve probably figured out many things. You now know why you are painting, what theme you’re using, and which colour you’ll use. You should then be able, depending on how big the project is, to set a time frame for when you expect to finish it.
Don’t be silly. Everyone knows someone who has great intentions but never gets around to finishing a home project. Knowing how long you should allow yourself to finish your interior painting project will help you feel secure. You have an end date that you can work towards.
5. Furniture
If you decide to paint the entire interior of your home, you will need to consider the time it takes to cover or move your furniture. It’s one thing to have an idea for painting inside. It’s another thing to get to the end. It will be easier to save time if you take the time to record the steps for covering and shifting furniture before you begin painting.
Even if you have a plan to paint a bedroom or feature a wall, it is important to know what to do about your furniture. You could cover them with plastic sheets or cloth, or you might have to move the furniture around.
6. Get the Right Paint
The type of paint that you require will depend on the purpose of the project. Interior enamel paint is used to finish trim, doors, and windows. For walls, it is important to choose paint that can be easily washed. Ceilings might also need a different finish in order to stand out from the other colours on your walls.
The decision-making process includes choosing the right colour and choosing the right paint type. It is important to choose a paint type that suits your lifestyle, not just one that looks great.
