30 BEST local Painters in Hawthorn East VIC | Yellow Pages®

Colour considerations for residential painting.

Are you about to repaint your home? Colours have strong symbolic, expressive and psychological values. It is a good thing to choose wisely given their strong ability to influence your mood, feelings and energy levels in that space. The hallway colour scheme, being the first space people enter sets a tone for the experience of your home. Lighter colours are a neutral foundation to elaborate upon with other colour schemes throughout the house. Vibrant colours give a surge of energy as people enter. Use spot colours for fun rooms such as dining rooms, gyms, painting or games rooms. Here bright colours charge people with activity. Softer hues and pastel colours are soothing, calming and are therefore perfect for bedrooms and relaxation zones where you want to unwind. Heavy dark colours such as deep purples, browns and blacks can be a stylish and striking addition. However as they can have strong visual weight use these selectively on feature walls (as they can also make a space feel smaller). Natural hues, oranges and browns are perfect for the earthy and natural associations of the kitchen. Consider a softer wall paint and then use cabinetry, appliances and other accessories for ‘pop’ bursts. You can always get advice from a house painting company before hiring professional interior painters. Continue browsing Yellow Pages Online for painting quotes.
