Thinking of painting the interior of your house? Make sure you are willing to invest some time. Preparation is very important, if you rush the preparation, then you will regret it later.
Painting the walls of your home can transform the appearance of your home. The colour of your walls can make a room feel smaller, bigger, cleaner, warmer, or colder. The colours can change your mood.
Paint cards (you can pick these up at most DIY stores) should be used to help you choose the colour. Once you have an idea of a colour you want to use, test it with a sample and paint a section of the wall. Don’t buy lots of paint until you are 100% sure of the colour. By painting a large enough section of the wall it will give you a feel of what the room will look like.
You don’t necessarily have to paint a room the same colour. Having textures and patterns on the wall can help add character to a home.
Keeping the ceiling a bright colour helps make the room feel bigger and prevents you feeling like you are boxed in.
Don’t be afraid to try something bold or use a more intense vibrant colour. If you’re not happy with the results, you can always paint over it.
