6 Things To Consider When Choosing Paint Colours For Your Home

Choosing the right paint for your home can be tough, with various colours and types of finish to select from, the process can get extremely difficult. As a starting point, what colour do you prefer? With that, you’ve begun your journey to picking the perfect paint colour for your home. It can feel daunting but, we’re here to help ease the process by suggesting important key points.

LIGHTING

You’ve probably heard it before, lighting is an important factor when deciding on a paint colour. Every paint manufacturer is different, and depending on what type of substrate finish your home is designed with, the radiance outside can greatly affect the binds and adhesion of the paint. Light bulbs can also affect on how you perceive colour, varying from fluorescent, halogens to lumens – each bulb has different tints and colour. So, keep in mind that the paint colours you see at the store are different from what you see in your home.

HOME STYLE

The size, feel, fixtures and ceiling heights of your living space are all important factors to take into consideration. Tall ceilings open-up options for darker colours, while a smaller room will have a different effect. We recommend choosing a lighter paint colour with warm tones, creating an illusion of a bigger space. If you’ve got chair rails, you have the option for different complementary colours on the same wall. If you have a small room, consider feature walls for that dark colour you’ve fallen in love with. An alternative option is to go with a neutral palette throughout the home, leaving bright colours for furniture accents. read more on - https://www.lincespainting.com/painting-blog/choosing-paint-colours-for-your-home

Benefits of Paint Over Wallpaper

If you’re considering doing some home renovations, one great way to drastically change a room is to freshen up the colour of your walls. To do this, there are a few options, and if you’re debating between paint and wallpaper for your home, we’ve got some pros and cons that might help tip the scales.

VERSATILITY

If you’re looking for versatility, you simply can’t go wrong with paint. Wallpaper comes in two different surface materials; vinyl and paper. Each offers a different look, and there’s no question that you can find wallpaper in a wide variety of different colours and patterns, but when it comes to having a wealth of colours and finishes, paint takes the cake. Anything from ultra-matte to high gloss finish is at your fingertips and the colour range is mind boggling. It’s a lot easier to change a colour from room to room, or even to highlight a feature wall, when you choose paint.

THE PREP WORK

Before your contractor arrives, walls should be cleared of decor and any drips or cobwebs wiped away. Furniture will need to be pulled away at least a few feet from the walls; ideally it will be pushed towards the center of the room to allow as much working space as possible. After that, the preparation work differs greatly between a wallpaper and a paint job. While paint can be applied directly over a previously painted wall and the job can start right away, it’s not recommended that wallpaper be applied over a previous layer, so the first task for your contractor will be to remove the existing layer of wallpaper. Any accidental damage will have to be filled and sanded, and then the walls will need a coat of primer. A room that could be painted in a day might take a few days to have wallpaper applied.

Your Time is Valuable
