Interior painting of a home can be made into a more complex process than one thinks when it comes to choosing the proper colors. Depending on the person, paint color may go simply by personality. Other times, it may have to be dictated on the size of a room and how that color fits into the overall structure. Here's some things to think about when painting the interior of your house. And all of us here at Liberty Painting and Pressure Washing will be there for you to paint your home's interior once you make those decisions.
Colors to Make Rooms Look Larger
While painting to represent personality is always a part of the process, you'll have to occasionally go by the size of the room. Particularly if you have overly small rooms in your home, painting them with lighter colors can make them look larger. Usually white is the best choice to give the illusion of expansiveness. However, light yellow is also a popular choice while creating a much warmer feeling.
Likewise with overly large rooms that don't look comfortable, darker tones can help make them look more inviting. All these combos can differ per room rather than deciding to stick with one color throughout the house. Don't necessarily think it's easier to pick one color and go with that throughout your home.
Colors to Represent Feelings and Personality
Preferences for colors representing personality can sometimes be ill-advised. Just because you have a more vivacious personality doesn't necessarily mean you should be using overly vivid colors in your home's interior. You have to consider how other people will react to those colors if you have guests visiting often, including members of your family.
Bob Vila suggests a compromise in the use of blues, greens and purples to represent warmness for invited guests. If you're a true connoisseur of the kitchen, then creating oranges and reds can create a psychological desire for hunger. For some, though, color choice might be all about representing another culture if one came from a different country.
Interior colors that represent cultural heritages are becoming very popular choices in recent years as more diverse cultures move to the United States. In some cases, unique hues that mix primary colors together are being used to represent a potpourri of different ethnicities.
Considering the Use of Light with Your Chosen Color
Depending on how much natural light you have coming in through your windows, that paint color you choose might not look good when light emanates during the day. That also goes for your lamp light. It's why you should try some paint samples on your wall to see how light blends with the color. Various kinds of light bulbs emanate particular hues that can blend with your paint color and make it look different than you intended.
