Hello!
How have you been?
Today
I would love to share some tips for choosing interior paint colors. How’s that
sound to you? I wish you are excited as I am now. I’m in the middle of changing
my blog’s template, so I wrote this through Ms. Office. Lol. I blame the unstable
internet connection here. Indonesia is actually has ranked its internet speed
connection to the third place (from the bottom). That is probably the saddest
thing that ever happened in our life, as Indonesians here. How can a big
country like Indonesia get worst place? After everything we have given to
foreign investors, so that they can abuse our land here. HAHA. Well, I wish it
for the best in the future.
Let’s
go back to the topic! Before I have already posted Perfect Colors for TeenageBedrooms, so this time I will tell you how to pick some colors for the interior
of your house. I know that colors are everything to any designer, whether it is
interior designer or graphic designer. Colors are essential, especially for
decorating. It is a major decision in any decorating plans. Since we are going
to look at the colors day after day for a long time to come, that is why I present
you this article. Hopefully this article which tells about some tips to choose
perfect colors for interior of your house will enlighten your mind. Here are
the tips!
First,
you should get color chips or wheels by visiting paint stores near your house.
They will give you one for free. This tool shows you a lot of shades of each
color. You can get a better idea of what is available and fit your interior of
the house. You better hold the wheels up to the walls so you can imagine if the
color you hang up in the air will fit for the bigger view of your walls.
Consider longtime feelings you will get toward some colors before apply it to the room.
Second
tips, you should decide on a color family. If you want to décor a room using
one color family, you can consider picking natural color scheme, cool color
scheme, warm color scheme, nautical color scheme, and so on. These colors will
invoke a sense of calm in most people, including you. It has been proved that
they can get along together in the room. Brighten up your room using a color
family and adjust the rest of the colors with our furniture and accessories. These pictures below here are some examples of the rooms using a color family.
Third,
if you have picked some colors, make sure the chosen ones will coordinate well
with the other decoration in the room. It should go well with your furniture in
other rooms too.
Fourth,
you need to know the impact of certain shades of color. If you pick darker
colors, the room will appear smaller, while the lighter colors will make the
room look larger. So you should be careful and use that knowledge to fix the
size problems in the interior of your house.
Last,
you can also consider using wallpaper as the focal point of your room. Pick one
wall as the focal point of your living room, and choose the wallpaper that fits
your personality and the style of the room. You can get more inspiration by
picking one wall, especially in adjusting the rest of the colors for the
interior of the house. Here are some picture that show you how one wall can also be different by using wallpaper.
That
is all 5 tips for choosing interior paint colors. More importantly, you don’t
have to (always) follow your guts (feelings). If you have some favorite colors
but they don’t get along together well in the room, you cannot push to use
them. It will lead the room to such a mess instead. You had better to find some
inspirations by picking some rooms models in any magazine online or offline.
That would be a great idea.
