Are you looking to brighten up that one room in your house that no one goes into? The one with the dark paint job that seems so small? Dark paint may be hard to cover, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it. Turning a dark room to light is a great way to completely revitalize it and open it up to more possibilities. What could it do for you? Here’s a little more information from your Dallas painting company, Platinum Painting.
The Impact of Color
Every room in your house has a certain purpose, and with that purpose comes a desired mood. You want to be relaxed in the living room, energetic in the kitchen, and focused in your office. The color of a room can have a big effect on this. Colors like yellow, red, or green, for example, are great for kitchens because they provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere, while also invigorating you to cook and host. In this vein, a room with a very dark color could be perceived as uninviting and isolating. One quick way to change that is with a lighter coat of paint. It can completely uplift the mood of a room in a matter of hours. Also, rooms with dark colored ceilings could be made to look bigger almost “magically” with a lighter color. All this can easily make a room no one uses into a place you and your family love to hang out.
How To Do It
This is where things can get tricky, as the temptation is to simply apply layers and layers of the lighter paint in order to cover the darker one. Questions abound:
- Which type of primer is best?
- How much paint will I need to cover the old color?
- Which color would look best for the room?
- What do I do if the wall has holes or stencils?
The answers to these questions are all important for making the job go smoothly, and you’ll get a dozen different answers if you look on the web. It’s best to consult with a local professional, as they’ll be able to take a look at your room and quickly know what the best approach would be. This will allow you to go over different ideas and colors to see which one will get you the results you want. After that, they’ll be able to quickly and skillfully paint your room. This saves you the hassle and uncertainty of doing it yourself. No trial and error, no color regret, no time wasted.
