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!

Imagination Runs Wild in Kids’ Room

Decorating a child’s room is always a lot of fun for any couple. Painting a kid’s room is exciting because one can use a splash of colours, fantasy characters and imagination to the fullest. Since a kid will spend most of his time playing in his room, it is important to select the right colour for the room because colours tend to affect personality.

Colours like red, black, orange and deep blue should be avoided in the room of a hyperactive child. These colours will make him more restless. One should go for light blues, grey and shades of white or dull yellow in such cases. Vice-versa is true for a kid who is shy and doesn’t open up with others.

Another thing to be noted while selecting kids’ wall paint is that it is lead free and eco-friendly so that even if the kid tries to scratch it off while at play, he is not harmed. Children like to scribble on wall, so it is advisable to use water-proof paints to remove graphite, dirt marks and blotches. Parents after all, know the personality of their kid and wish the best for their bundle of joy.

For a girl’s room shades of pink, fuschia and lavender will make her feel like a princess. Similarly, you may go for murals of forts, fairies and garden for her room. For boys, a sailor theme or a car theme is suitable. Themes of forest, sea, alphabets and numbers are unisex and so are the colours like yellow, green, purple and white. These will suit personality or any kid and the kid won’t outgrow them soon.

So add cheer to your kids’ world by selecting the right wall paint and let them play and learn in their space.
