For many, choosing the right colors for the ceiling, cutting and walls when painting a room for the first time can be a daunting task. But, as with learning how to cook good food, creating a perfect room can be achieved with the right ingredients and a good recipe.
"Colorful home decor is a great way to light up the interior - but the actual process of choosing colors can often be very difficult," said Barbara Richardson, director of color marketing for ICI Paints and a licensed interior designer. "Follow these simple, sensible tips, and you will paint like a professional to create the taste of a new colorful home - and be happy as you go along."
Check out the colorful "cookbook"
You would not try to make a delicious meal without consulting a cookbook or an experienced chef. Similarly, use the design help available to you. To make yourself computer-savvy, free design advice is available with a simple click of a computer mouse.
For example, Glidden Online Color Consultant, available at www.glidden.com, combines individual preferences and professional guidance instructions to find the right user paint palette with a step-by-step guided process.
Color chips of selected shades online can be ordered and shipped free of charge. As it is better to choose paint around furniture, lamps and room utensils, a review of color chips in the comfort of home provides the extra confidence needed to continue the painting work.
Perform a taste test:
It is important to see before you believe, especially when it comes to paint colors. So, how do you evaluate paint colors and avoid stress and trauma?
Try attaching them, reusable color swatches called Samples of Glidden Home Peel & Stick paint samples. Measuring 33/4 ″ x 6 ″, these swatches are available in six sets of 10 colors each and include connecting shades of walls, accents and trim.
Just place the swatches on the wall, and remove and freeze as many times as needed to choose the best colors you can combine with furniture and other items.
Do not leave out what is important:
To get the best topcoat results, most projects will need a primer coat first. A primer called Gripper Gray, for example, was specially developed for use under black or bright paint. These startups use shades of gray to create a better base that enhances the true richness of the colors of the popular coat while saving time and money.
"Most DIYers do not think twice about using deep colors, such as dark red, green or blue, over a white primer," said Richardson. “It is only after the paint dries that they realize that the primer affects the durability of the coat. As a result, more time and money are spent on applying layers to achieve the desired color. ”
Choose a fun topping:
A new coat of colorless paint will add texture to the cake. Another way to avoid the frustration and worry of missing spots, too many coats and waiting for the paint to dry is paint on the ceiling with EZ Track Technology. The product turns pink and dries to a smooth, light white under 30 minutes.
With this new paint from Glidden, the ceiling can be done whenever appropriate — in low light, on cloudy days or even at night when the children are asleep.
By following a successful painting recipe, designers can create a room that will be considered for many years to come.
Building a colorful home can enhance your family's physical and mental well-being.
