Currently, many of us are spending most of our time in the safety and comfort of our homes. If you’re doing the same, it’s a good idea to customise the space according to your taste. Most of us have a special and emotional relationship with the space we call home. So, when it comes to the energy within your home, the wall colours have a significant role to play. Every colour has a symbolic significance, and a smart colour combination has the power to transform your mood.
One way of being in sync with the current colour trends is to actively follow the new shades launched by leading paint companies. You may find exciting reports of the latest colour combination and décor ideas. You can use these to identify the colour combinations you like the most and paint different rooms accordingly. Don’t forget to add your personal touch, given the variety of textures, patterns, and finishes available.
Yes, some rooms look amazing with the calmness of pastel shades. You can also choose to experiment with bold colour combinations in some spaces. These colours can lend a classy and chic look to your home. How about painting a wall with a bright wine colour, which symbolises passion, energy, strength, and love? Paint the other three walls in dull yellow, which represents sensitivity and charm. You may want to add a touch of royalty, power, and ambition with a plum colour and combine it with the calmness and serenity of a dull green.
You can rely on the age-old tradition of architecture and space-design science to establish a harmonious balance among the energies in your home. In Vastu, each colour stands for something different. According to Vastu Shastra, the master bedroom should be painted blue, as this colour is believed to have a soothing and relaxing effect, and blue is a perfect fit. Vastu also says the kitchen should be painted red or orange, as these colours represent one of the classical elements – fire. In addition, the traditional system of architecture suggests that the children’s room should be green, as it helps growth and brings out positivity. You can choose paints that are good for the environment as well as your family’s health. For instance, the Rangoli Total Care from Berger Paints has a bio-resistant formulation that prevents interior walls from fungal and algal attacks while giving a smooth finish.
A Monochromatic colour scheme gives your home a minimalistic appeal. It is an easy-to-create theme that exudes stable and relaxing energies. First, choose one colour as the base. It’s best to choose pastel shades for the base colour. You can then pick darker shades of that colour, creating a monochromatic scheme for your home. Each room can have a different combination. For instance, you can choose a pastel shade of blue as the base colour for your study and match that with a brighter blue. When painting your home the monochromatic way, you can’t risk brush marks showing on the walls. So, remember to pick a wall painting roller from the Berger Paints DIY catalogue to get that perfect surface.
Classic neutrals are always in vogue. This category has so much more than the greys and whites. Choose a colour that represents your personality. Maybe brown, which speaks of qualities like strength and reliability, or the relaxing effect of green. Choose scarlet to add a touch of style. For that gentle touch, go for blue.
Bold colour combinations are not the only way to give your home a unique touch. There is a wide variety of textures to choose from. Take your creativity a step further and select art deco stencils to give your room a modern or a retro look. For the kids’ room, consider getting a glow-in-the-dark kit, which will include stencils, paint, and a paint tray. Ask your kids to decide on the shapes they want, so they can enjoy the glow when they get into bed and switch off the lights.
Check out tools like Virtual Painter, which can help you select the chosen colours and visualise what the room will look like before buying the paints. You can sign up for Berger express painting service, which promises to make the job swift, efficient, and safe, with trained professionals and state-of-the-art equipment. For instance, the sanding machine comes with a vacuum duct to suck in the dust created when your walls are being smoothened. Dust is the main culprit of a messy paint job as well as breathing problems. Similarly, an auto roller tool can ensure a smoother and superior finish and, that too, much faster. So, let professionals help you realise your dream of living in a gorgeous and lively home.
