The living room can be a vital blank canvas to create a space for leisure, well being and relaxation. Choosing a colour palette here can be a challenging but exciting activity. It is worth giving this room extra consideration, particularly because colour can heavily affect mood, emotion and life. The aesthetic and functional aspects of a colour palette impact mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. When searching for inspiration, this can vary from current fashion trends to nature. A fresh new update can be created through accessories such as cushions, rugs and throws. When choosing colours, think about the floor and how to find harmony with this surface. The depth, colour and reflectivity / absorption of the floor will impact the colour palette of the walls. For the walls you may choose to designate one wall as a feature wall. This can have a textured, metallic or striking dark paint application. This will be a focal point of the living room which visually differentiates it from the other neutral walls. With colours, cooler tones of blue and green can be calming and soothing while reds, oranges and yellows can stimulate energy and activity. Armed with these tips, find interior local painters who can do justice to your creative vision. Realise your residential painting project and keep searching for competitive painting quotes.
