4 Questions to Help You Choose the Right Paint

  • Apr 6, 2016

Deciding to repaint one of the rooms of your home is a great idea. The hard part, however, comes when you have to pick a specific colour. Some people underestimate the significance of this decision, which leads to a lot of unpleasant complications and disappointments. Whether it comes to your bedroom, kitchen, living room, or another part of your real estate property, you have to think carefully before going to the store and getting gallons of paint. No matter how simple the process of painting looks to you, the truth is that it still requires a lot of work. That's why it is important to think about all details before starting this process, so you don't feel sorry later. After all, there is really no point going through all the trouble just so you have to do it all over again. Once you officially decide that it is time to change the colour of the walls in one or more rooms of your home, you have to start with the plans. You will probably have a million questions during the whole procedure, especially when it comes to picking paint colour. Asking for professional help is always an option which, however, will cost you some money. In case you decide to do this on your own, you will find below answers to some of the questions that might appear once you start thinking about the paint colour.

Is the room I want to paint big or small?

One of the most important things you have to consider is whether you are painting a small or big room. You can also think about the light because one of the biggest mistakes is to use dark colours for a room that is already dark. Light colours will make the place look brighter, bigger, and more inviting. PT Maintenance London are advising you to inspect the room carefully before you make any decisions.

Will I redecorate as well?

Another thing you should take into consideration is the design of the room. In case you've decided to make a thorough renovation of the place, you will have to start paying more attention to the details. If you already have a new carpet, couch or another furniture for the room, it is best to pick a colour suitable for the style of those elements. If the room is still empty, then think whether the decorating elements or the colour of the walls is more important to you and start from there.

What mood do I want to create?

You probably realise that the painting will transform the look of the room immediately. That's why it is important to think about the mood you want to create by picking your colours precisely. Don't be afraid to use your imagination because this is your home and you will be the person enjoying it.

Do I need only one colour or more?

Combining colours can be tricky, especially if you don't have a lot of experience with painting and decorating. No need to worry, though, just trust your instincts. In case you need some inspiration, you can look in different magazines as well as on the Internet. You’ll be surprised at the many interesting ideas you will be able to find.

Choosing the right paint won't be so hard, as long as you are honest with yourself about what you really want. Don't hesitate too long, otherwise it will be even harder to make a decision and pick a specific colour later. Trust your intuition and you won't be sorry for sure.
