A Fresh Paint Job Can Revamp Your Home

A new coat of paint is a fast, cheap and relatively easy way to give your home a makeover. Adding a pop of color, new undertones or a bold and trendy pattern will make a room look totally new. 

Whats On Trend

Dark Walls

At the moment darker, moodier colours are becoming popular for home interiors.  Lots of deep greens and navy hues have gained popularity. Use in the bedroom for the ultimate sleep space or in the kitchen for a farmhouse-chic cooking space. Darker colours especially work in rooms that have higher ceilings and natural light and it is a good idea to keep the ceiling white.

Contrasting Trim

When everything is one colour, a room can start to look bland and heavy so playing with contrast is an easy way to keep things balanced. If you have light interior and exterior walls, try painting a trim a dark contrasting color or if your walls are dark, go for a light trim.

Accent Walls

Accent walls have been trending for years, but instead of a solid colour, why not opt for wallpaper with texture or unique patterns. Adding a feature wall will provide more personality than a blank wall, giving the room interest.

White on White

If you prefer a bright, airy and clean look, white will make your home look clean and calm, plus it can make low-light spaces seem larger and more welcoming. There are plenty of shades to choose from, so whether you prefer warm or cool undertones, you’re sure to find the right white for your room.
