The Role of Color

Provided your color co-ordinates with your furnishings, painting your walls can have a positive impact on a room.  Shades of white, gray and beige provide a neutral setting that will not compete with your furniture.  If you are looking for a more dramatic change why not try a colour that is complimentary to your accessories.  Complimentary colors are opposite to one another on the colour wheel. (i.e. red and green, blue and orange, yellow and purple)  A color scheme using the primary colors, red, yellow and blue, is another option and can give your room a strong, solid feeling.

Faux Finishes

When doing home improvement many people are looking for a unique way to personalize their home.  Faux finishes, such as crackling or marbling can give a sense of your personal style.  Other techniques include striping, spattering, sponging, ragging, combing, stenciling and tinted plaster.  These techniques can be attempted by anyone, but are better with a little practice.  Many turn to professional painters for these applications.  Regardless, any painting project can be messy and time consuming so why not get an estimate from a professional painter.  Our experts can direct you to appropriate colors for your decor and can let you know about popular trends.
