Painting colour ideas<\/h2>\n

So many colours, so little space..<\/p>\n

Other than deciding whether to get handyman help, colour choice is one of the toughest decisions you will make when painting.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to nail the perfect colour….<\/p>\n

From the outside in<\/h2>\n

\"architectural<\/a><\/p>\n

The exterior of your home will make or break your entire colour scheme. A well-executed exterior will add curb appeal to your home and offer long-term return on investment.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Highlight any architectural features like roof lines, gutters and doors. You can use various shades of the one colour, or mix it up using darker shades against lighter colours of paint<\/li>\n
  2. Use your existing landscape and driveway as colour choice inspiration<\/li>\n
  3. Fences help to frame the view of your home and cannot be ignored when selecting your colour scheme. Use a similar colour to the exterior of your home for painting your fence<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Interior colours<\/h2>\n

    Ensure your interior colours blend with those you have chosen for the exterior. It’s important to have a seamless colour transition from outside to inside, and from one room to the next.<\/p>\n

    General colour ideas<\/h2>\n

    Dark walls have the potential to make a room appear smaller, whilst light colours have the opposite effect.<\/p>\n

    Some ideas that can counteract these perceptions are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Dark walls with lighter trims make a room appear bigger<\/li>\n
    2. Light walls with darker trims make a room more intimate or homely\n
      Cool colours in a large space can make a room look clinical. Just add some natural elements to the area like timber or textured linens.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Feng shui\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

      Traditional feng shui principles have been used for centuries with colour selections. These ideas might provide some inspiration for you too.<\/p>\n
