The first concern that strikes while deciding to repaint the house is – Which Colour? With colours now being generated with the help of computer, there are a plethora of shades of one single colour. The more the colours, the more the confusion. When faced with this dilemma, most people go for some tried and tested popular paint colours.
Good ol’ white tops the list. It is a versatile colour and people use different shades of it on walls. It is a soothing colour and suits all personality types. White on four walls and deep blue colour of the ceiling gives a serene look to the room. Similarly, you can keep two or three walls of white shade and go for a contrasting colour on the remaining walls. After white, yellow is the colour of masses for doing the living room. Some people prefer baby pink too but guys might not like it in particular!
Other popular paint colours include grey and blue. However times are changing and so are the trends. People are experimenting with different colours and looks for their houses.
To get the best final result, always paint with primer. The primer is an adhesive which sticks to a surface to be painted and prepares it to receive the colour more efficiently. It also imparts durability and gives smooth finish. Applying primer becomes essential when the surface to be painted is porous (like concrete, drywall, wood ect.) or is not water resistant. Primering also protect the wall from moulds.
Primers come in different colours. When you are going for a lighter shade of the wall, use a light coloured primer. However, if the shade is a deep colour, then selecting a primer tinted of the similar colour will reduce the number of coats of paint required to apply on the wall. So get set to paint!
After all, different folks different strokes!
