Painting 'Fun Facts'
Choosing a Paint Color
- Start by
studying the darkest colors or shades on any paint strip to match your
furnishings. Once you have a winner, choose a tint toward the middle
to top (lighter) of the strip for the wall color.
Small Rooms
- Light colors
(airy) and cold colors (which seem 'distant') tend to expand spaces.
- The more
color contrast you use in a room, the smaller it look.
- Consider
painting the woodwork (base, trim, etc.) the same color as the walls.
Large Rooms
- Darker walls
make the room appear smaller as these warm colors seem to advance or
'move in toward' you.
- Darker colors;
however, do make a room seem more intimate.
- To make a
square room seem less 'boxlike', paint one wall in a deeper tone that
the other three walls.
Hallways
- To lengthen
a hallway, paint walls a deep tone and paint the ceiling a lighter tone.
Ceilings
- Painting
ceilings will actually make the room look larger by pushing the walls
out. Consider painting a ceiling the same color as the walls (if a light
colors) to negate their boundaries.
- Low ceilings
painted in pale shades seem higher.
- High ceilings
painted two or three shades darker than the walls will seem lower and
thus will effectively warm the room.
Light Conditions
- Warm colors
will cheer up rooms with northern light.
- Cool colors
mellow out rooms with strong southern light.
- Bright colors
appear more vivid in strong light.
- Neutral colors
work well in rooms with east and west light.
- Consider
using bright, uplifting colors for halls, stairs, and connecting areas
that people simply pass through.
- Consider
using deep colors in dim rooms. People often use white paint, but deep
colors can turn a lack of light into a color asset.
Paint Colors
- Paint color
appear deeper in glossy or shiny paint sheens.
- Colors appear
brighter on the wall than they do in the can.
- Colors look
cooler when dry. [top]
