7 Useful Tips for Interior Paint Colour Selection

The challenge in painting rooms is what colour should I choose. Painting is about your mood. What colours place you in the right mood when you walk into a room? Start with the colours that you like the best.

Don’t worry about keeping room colours in a traditional, bland design. Use your favorite colour as the primary colour and then create a trim to accent the room further. If you need inspiration in painting your rooms in a particular colour, there are many magazines and web sites that provide inspiring colours and ideas.

Home furnishing experts and designers recommend that whatever colour you choose, first buy a quart. Then paint a light board or use different paint samples to place on the wall. You should place the sample on the wall both in the morning and at night to see how its hues and texture looks at those different times of the day.

If you have already selected your color pallets and are ready to paint the inside of your house, we recommended reading the article tips for interoior painters in Melbourne.

7 Useful Points

Here are 7 tips on how you choose the best interior paint colour selections for your home.

1. Subtle/Light Colours

If you like a room that gives you a sense of calm, choose light paint shades. For example, sage, soft yellow, powdery blue, pinks, lavender, and other cool or warm paint shades are great for the kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom. With these colouring schemes, you can easily match your furnishings and décor products within the same colour scheme. To give your room that extra ambiance, trim the room with a darker shade in the same colour texture as the walls.

2. Elegant Colouring

If your taste runs more to elegance, your colour scheme is better matched in neutral colours. A few years ago, neutral meant that only white or beige were your options. In addition to beige and white, elegant paint colouring focuses on light shades of rust, mahogany, garnet/green, gold, and yellow. Trim the room with a matching darker colour featuring pink, orange, or greenish beige while adding colourful accessories, and voila. Keeping the room in lighter paint colours adds a more spacious look to the room.

 

3. Vibrancy

Many millennials are enjoying rooms painted with pizzazz using vibrant colouring schemes. Paint colours that bring this feature to your room include oranges, gold, reds, and even purples. As a vibrant contrast, choose either a warm or cool black or red colouring to make the room stand-out. When you see these two colours together, it will remind you of the beauty you find in Oriental styles.

4. Pastel

Pastel colours are achieved when you add large amounts of white paint. Pastel colours give your rooms an airy feeling. A pastel room is very soothing. When you add a contrasting light ruby shade or green trim, you have created a room that people will naturally gravitate to. Another paint scheme idea for a white room is to paint it in a pastel colour, especially if your furniture is made from dark finishes.

 

5. Sterile

Nicole Kidman, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Snoop Dog are just a few of the celebrities who have painted most of the rooms in their homes all white. Rooms painted white today is called modern minimalism or classic neutral. Cultures in Greece, Japan, Morocco, and in Scandinavian homes love their white walls decorated in unique textiles, artwork, and decorative pills and other furnishings. Top designer and home design experts believe that the perfect white paint colour is one where there are no undertones of blues, pinks, or yellow. Warm white colour paint keeps white from being too sterile.

 

6. Textured

Not only does textured paint cover a multitude of wall imperfections, but it enhances any room décor. To add unique aesthetics to a room, you can purchase paint with additives like silica sand added to your paint colouring. Textured paint colours work best on flat ceilings or wall surfaces. Just one wall painted in textured colouring gives you an eye-catching accent.

 

7. Home Office

With the advent of the coronavirus pandemic, many people are working from home. To help set up a room as an office, the right paint colour is mentally efficient. One idea that people are finding unique is to paint one of the walls in a paint that you can write on, then wipe clean. Colours that are calming help in this situation. Paint with a matte finish keeps the glare of the daylight from disrupting your attention. Popular non-distracting colours include light blue, neutrals, and greens.Interior Paint Colour Selection

Every idea needs to be visualized before it is fabricated, and that process is what Conceptual Art is all about,... a drawn interpretation of an idea. This work is the foundation of Industrial and Automotive Design, as well as Architectural, Environmental, and Entertainment Design. Before the turn of the century, there were no books available on the subject of Concept Design. Now, several are available, with more on the way, as new conceptualists emerge to pick up the gauntlet, thrown down by film & television projects which have, because of the increased abilities of computer imaging, become more complex and spectacular. Consequently, with a stunning ability to put actors (what looks like actors) into virtually any environment, any vehicle, and any situation,... nothing is impossible. This means that fantastic scenarios are being written which compel Entertainment Designers to come up with any fantastic shape we want, assured that it will work as the script intends. We never have to concern ourselves with details like the shape & the size of a wing, and whether or not it will produce lift, or be concerned if a tiny racing vehicle, tethered to a pair of enormous jet engines, has any space allocated for the tremendous amount of fuel needed to get those engines powered up. We've seen spindly spacecraft, brisling with antennas and other protruding “stuff”, fly straight down to a planet's surface without exhibiting the slightest concern for, or evidence of atmospheric friction. But having said that, we don't want every flyer to look like the Space Shuttle; it would be boring. And while everyone knows about the Shuttle's protective tiles, and the consequences of having just one missing,... we designers are allowed to (sometimes ‘encouraged’ to) ignore that level of realism in favour of a ‘cool’ shape. Now, I appreciate the appeal of cool shapes as much as anyone, but I'm wondering why we can't produce vehicles that look cool but are also believable. Yes, rarely, that does happen, as exemplified by the cars in "Minority Report” or the Armored Personnel Carrier in “Aliens”. But, in that same movie, for example, the drop ship, while very cool looking, indeed, would realistically be thrown into a fatal spin, the moment it unfolded one of those retracted wings. An audience typically believes what it sees, however, so details like that are blurred for the sake of the plot line. On the other hand, there have been times when we've all seen fantastic vehicles do something that we inherently know they really couldn't do. Even though it doesn't feel ‘right’, the majority of us can't quite figure out why. As a designer, I keep trying to override that trend, because I've always felt that if I approach a piece of hardware as if it's real, the audience will believe it's real, on-screen. Therefore, I design movie hardware as if it was to be fabricated in the real world, at my level of understanding, with concerns for power systems, life support systems, personnel living & operating spaces, vehicle operations & performance, access panels, emergency escape systems, defence systems, and how all these things can be in a package that looks good yet not look like something you've seen before. No, I'm not an engineer, but I am familiar with some of the reasons why things are put together the way they are. This allows me to go for the “cool shape” while keeping in mind the practical side of what the vehicle is to do.
