Interior painting goes beyond aesthetics. A new lick of paint has the power to influence moods and make a small room appear more spacious.
According to Zoopla, a fresh coat of paint is one of the top updates that can boost the value of your home. It’s also a quick and relatively inexpensive way to make a home feel fresh and well looked after.
Our professional decorators at Scott Anson Painters and Decorators Ltd have plenty of interior painting experience. This article will explore several aspects of the process in further detail.
Creative Interior Wall Painting Ideas
Using a bit of imagination when it comes to paint and colour choices can bring energy and charm to a home while also expressing personality and style.
Stripes: Painting a space with stripes can give the illusion of more height or width within a room. Stripes are very versatile: the colours can contrast, be bold or be subtle.
Installed Items: Painting installed items can help to blend in and even hide relatively ugly objects. For example, painting radiators the same colour as the wall, in the correct type of paint, can make them less visible.
Playful Motifs: Freehand painted motifs can add a fun, personalised look to a space. This works especially well in children’s bedrooms.
Paint the Woodwork: Adding colour to doors and frames can blend them in with the theme of the room or create a feature.
Accent Walls Enhance Spaces
A well-placed accent wall has the potential to change the size, shape and feel of a room.
Step 1: Choose the Room
Accent walls work best in bright, open spaces. In a small room, a feature wall can break up the space and make it feel even smaller.
Step 2: Choose the Wall
Pick the wall that can make the maximum impact and the best focal point – for example, the first wall seen upon entering the room or a wall with an architectural feature such as a fireplace.
Step 3: Choose the Style
Clean, solid blocks of colour can have a big impact. However, there are other visually stunning alternatives such as using geometric patterns, wallpaper, peel and stick murals, wooden panelling and brick veneer.
Step 4: Choose the Paint
The colour of the paint chosen for the accent wall should consider other colours in the room. Usually, accent walls are usually most effective when they adjoin walls in a lighter, neutral shade.
