PAINT IT MAROON

Do you like to go bold with colours? Are shades of red family… your favourite? Do you ever wonder about going wrong with the bold hues and overdoing colours in your home? There are definitely ways in which you can balance out even the boldest of colours by correctly fusing in the furnishing with the bold colours on the walls.

In this picture, one wall has been painted in deep maroon and the rest of walls are white. Combination of maroon and white is doing the trick here when it comes to balancing a bright and a light colour. The side table and centre table used are in dark wood which is complimenting the dark wall of the room. The tables used are low and have drawers which are more spacious as well look classy.

To even out the dark tone in the room, cream furry rug has been used to add in the light shade in the room. Also, the cream sofa is the major element which is taking away the focus from the dark coloured wall and breaking even the shades in the room from getting monotonously dark.

The maroon cushions are supporting the sofa and making it fuse with the wall and the wood flooring in the room. The wood flooring looks judiciously chosen to support the wall colour. The white window panes look fabulous with the whole décor.

The creatively displaced candle is placed at a corner, however, it definitely is adding onto the room’s style. Candle peaking in from apple shaped case is a very distinct touch that the room is adorning. The vase standing at the floor near the sofa is at a solitary position decorating the room, but it definitely is connecting the room décor with an element of base and simple style!

Get idea about paint tools before hiring contractors

Be it painting an office or a house, a good paint job makes you feel as if you belong to the place, whereas a shoddy job can take away all the motivation to work or feel at home. Patrons should give serious attention while hiring a painting contractor. Some questions which the customer should ask before painting is – what quality of products is the contractor using? In what time will the job be finished? Does he have the required tools for the job?

Good contractors have specific paint tools for specific stages of painting. For removing the existing paint, Paint eater and paint remover tool is very useful as its tough spun fiber disc removes stubborn paint chips and smoothens feather paint edges. It saves a lot of time and effort for removing chipped and flaking paint. Purdy tool, which is basically a 6-in-1 stainless steel paint tool, can be used to scrap off the leftover chips of paints. Once the surface is prepared to receive a fresh coat of paint, it is discerned if putty is required or not. Wall care putty smoothens out the crevices, holes and cracks in wall and readies the surface for primer coat. Purdy also effectively spreads out the putty and clean roller brushes.

Apart from this, a variety of paint brushes (having natural bristles or synthetic bristles) of different sizes are available in the market. Choosing correct brush saves the time. Natural bristle brushes should not be used to apply latex based water paints because the bristles go limp in water. A synthetic bristle brush should be used in its place. A good contractor is aware of all these things and knows what would be the best paint to use of your furniture or iron railings or on wall.
