If you have recently bought a new home in Dubai, or you just want to freshen things up after the summer holiday, a new paint coat is the quickest way to do that. However, choosing the right colour schemes can be a real nightmare, although a number of Dubai-based paint retailers offer in-store computer visualisation.
The process of deciding which wall colours to use is not the hardest one, however. The real pain comes when you paint your rooms and you realize you don’t like it. And trust me, that happens very often.
To avoid spending too much time in choosing wall colours or repainting, follow these few basic tips.
Biggest Room Comes First
You should always start with the biggest rooms in your home, because they require the largest painting job. Also, they will set the tone or theme of your house. And don’t go too bold with rooms where you typically spend most of your time (living rooms and dining rooms). Later you may regret it!
Combine With Your Furniture
Don’t rush into buying new furniture. Think whether you really need to do this. Try being more practical and less wasteful. When you choose a colour for your room, go with the one that will combine well with your old furniture. Pay attention to the larger items in the room (couches, rugs). Remember – do not adjust the room to the colour scheme! Adjust the colours to the room.
Hints from the Wardrobe
If you still have no idea what colours you prefer, then open your wardrobe. Without even realizing it you have already chosen the colour schemes that are your favourites. Look at your clothes and see which colours and nuances dominate. This could save you a lot of time, because you won’t actually need to thumb through big catalogues.
Ask for Help
So you have picked the main wall colours. However, now you need to add some other colours. Here’s the recipe: A paint job should consists of 60% main colour, 30% of second colour, and 10% of a trim or accent. Otherwise, things will look too bland. Choosing the rest of the wall colours is a tough job.
What we advise you to do is to search the web for some wall colour schemes ideas. But it’s best if you call a designer to help you out. In that way you won’t make any mistakes and you will wrap things up faster.
Now find a brush and get to work!
