8 Awesome Interior Painting Tips

Color has a great impact on our perception of space. That’s why it is so important to come up with a proper color scheme for your interior. Combining cold and warm shades in the right way can drastically change the appearance of the room. If you are planning to redecorate your house, these interior painting ideas will definitely prove helpful.

• - By altering the color of your ceiling, you can visually adjust its height. If you want it to seem higher, paint it a lighter color than the walls. Using a darker shade will produce the opposite effect.

• - Stripes can also come in handy in deceiving the eye. Painting the walls in horizontal stripes will make the room look longer, while vertical stripes will visually increase the height of the walls.

• - Use the properties of light and dark shades to alter the dimensions of your place. The lighter your interior paints are the more spacious your room will look. On the other hand, dark and saturated colors tend to visually limit the space available.

• - Different colors produce different psychological effects. Prevailing cold hues will create a placid, relaxing atmosphere while rich warm shades will energize your place.

•  - If there is too little space in the room, you can visually expand it by painting both the ceiling and the walls the same color to make them blend. The absence of sharp corners and visible boundaries will create an illusion of a larger and higher space.

• - You can also make a small house look bigger by painting adjacent rooms in the same colors. Similar to the previous recommendation, it will smooth out the corners and set the walls wider apart.

• - If the room is too narrow, you can visually expand it by choosing a bit lighter hue for the side walls and a bit darker for the end walls. That will work nicely for a long narrow hall that will look shorter and squarer.

• - Small drawbacks like ugly trims or unsuitable décor elements can ruin the entire room design. Fortunately, you can easily fix this problem by taking the remains of your wall paint and simply painting over everything you don’t like. On the other hand, if any architectural details seem appealing to you, why don’t you use a contrasting shade to emphasize them? 

Hopefully, these redecorating tips will help you change your place in the most incredible way!
