Choosing Colour in Residential Painting jobs

Painting is one the most efficient ways to refresh the house and increase the value without spending a lot of cash. Choosing the right colour for your residential painting project is crucial for success.

GET ADVENTUROUS

When faced with swatches showing 15 shades of cerulean, it’s easy to take the safe option of beige or cream. But getting adventurous with colour is an easy way to liven up and theme a room; create a feature wall or a background to stand-out artwork. It can enhance the timber tones of bookshelves and cabinetry and is an ideal approach for first homeowners wanting to unify mismatched furniture.

Wheel of colour

While a favourite colour or object often determines the main paint colour for a room, you may wish to consult a colour wheel for a secondary or contrasting colour. The colours that are opposite each other are called complementary colours. These hues will enhance each other in a colour scheme. The hues on each side of a given colour are called related colour and form the basis for a coordinated look.

SIMPLE RULES FOR PAINTING A ROOM

In residential painting job always pick three colours with one for the trim, one for the walls and one for the ceiling. Contrast or keep the same colour in different shades but note that a stark while ceiling against rich walls makes them appear shorter and the room look unfinished.

Keep the trim the same in open rooms for continuity. Choose a colour three shades lighter than the wall.

In residential painting jobs if the ceiling is less than 2,700 mm high, paint it two shades lighter than the walls. If the ceiling is more than 3,000 mm, have it two shades darker.

If you want a long, narrow room to look wider, paint one or both of the short walls a bright or dark colour and the other walls a pale colour. If the room is square and lacks a focal paint such as fireplace or large window, paint one wall a rich accent colour such as maroon.

Design Brief

he design brief (or client brief) is a set of parameters established in consultation with the client from which a design is created. This information is important to ensure we create a space that caters to our client’s needs as well as meeting the functional requirements of a bathroom area.

It is essential that our client’s ideas, requirements and preferences are paramount
When planning and designing a new bathroom, the options for the client are virtually limitless. The design is largely determined by client: lifestyle, personal taste and, of course, budget. The wide variety of materials, fitting and fixtures on the market can be overwhelming. Our clients will most likely require some guidance and professional advice during the selection process.
Planning a bathroom for a new home usually allows the designer greater flexibility: often there is the opportunity to have a say in the early stages of construction to specify the placement of services such as plumbing and drainage, and the location of windows and door openings to achieve the best layout for the space available. Where the project involves renovating an existing dwelling, the design may be limited by the footprint or space available and the existing plumbing and drainage (if these cannot be moved).
It is important to determine the project parameters (or ‘ scope of works’) required by the client from the outset before moving on to the more detailed design stage. These decisions will define what works are to be performed by us as the designer or bathroom specialist and unlimitedly determine the budget outcome for the client. The design-brief stage allows both parties to communicate one-on-one to have a clear understanding and agree on the expected outcomes before moving to the next stage.
There are important steps to take during the design brief and planning process to ensure our client’s needs and wants are captured, assessed and their level of importance determined before moving on to finalise project documentation.
