Colours can be the making of your space. Hiring professional local residential painters ensures that the painting job is perfectly done but choosing the colours is totally up to you. However, it is important that you get the right paint colours and having advice from a professional painter is the way to go!
Tips on How to Choose the Right Colors According to Local Residential Painters
Here are some tips from Diamond Painting & Decorating that you should consider when choosing a colour for the rooms in your home.
1. Identify the room’s purpose
The room’s purpose can also be a factor when choosing a paint colour. There are times when a colour might look good in a room but it doesn’t really match with the purpose of the room. For example, painting your living room with bright yellow may not be the best choice but it will look good if you use it in the kitchen instead.
2. Check the size of the room
If your room is small, choosing a bright colour for the paint will emphasize its small room ! Based on the several residential painting projects we have worked on at Diamond Painting & Decorating, the best choice of colour for small rooms are those of lighter shades. That is because light colours open up a space making it look and feel bigger and more spacious.
3. Consider the natural light the room is getting
Go for a bolder colour if your room is getting a lot of natural light. If not, then choose colours that can give a brightening effect. We won’t recommend the white color as it can be too stark, making the room look dull and bland. Something subtle would work well, like soft blue or yellow. Feature Walls work well too in large spaces.
4. Don’t always follow colour trends
Before you decide on using a colour that’s on trend, you need to ask yourself first if this colour is going to work long term. Following current colour trends may have your room look outdated if the colour trend doesn’t last long. Try to choose a colour that would still look good even if you use it for the next five years. Neutral colours will always suit for much longer and keep your home feeling fresh.
5. Ask for help if you need to
Choosing colours is something not everyone is good at. It doesn’t hurt to ask some opinions from family and friends. In the end, it’s you who will make the final decision anyway. You can also buy testers to try before deciding on a colour. Sometimes, a colour looks good when applied on a small area but looks wrong when painted on the whole room. Another way local residential painters suggest is to test if the paint colour looks good in natural lighting in the morning and under LED lighting in the evening. If you’re satisfied with how the colour looks on both lighting, then you have a winner. Don’t forget we at Diamond Painting can also provide a professional Dulux Colour Consultant, should you choose this option.
