Wall Painting Guide 2016 – Qatar

It is that time of year again, when you sit with piles of interior decor books and decide the wall paints for your home. Redecorating can be a hair-pulling frenzy for many and a few have natural flair for this task. For the former, there are ways to make this task simpler on yourself.  You can select wall paint colors accurately with just a little understanding of the task at hand.

Here are a few tips to make a perfect choice of wall paints,

Analyse your Space: Before you begin, wait and analyse the room you are redecorating. One color does not suit all rooms in a house, until you plan to go straight out white. The colors in different rooms accentuate the purpose of the selected room and add an ambience to the environment. For example, a cosy, warm feel in the study or near a fireplace, in contrast to a bright and vibrant feel to a living room, may set appropriate tones to the respective rooms.

Terminology Matters:  Hue, saturation, value, color intensity may seem like jargon, but these terminologies matter when choosing a paint color.

• Hue is the color in its simplest form.
• Saturation is the purity of color.
• Value is brightness or luminosity of color.

These terms often together, define if the color will be too full, bright and bounce right off the wall or will be subtle, dull or even murky.

Paints to Use: There are hundreds of paint types and finishes available, do not pick the first type and start painting. Flat, glossy, satin, semi glossy and various other paint types are available across Qatar. Choose the paint style that suits the finish in the room. For example, a primer is a paint that seals cracks and provides a clean canvas to start fresh painting. Whereas, Enamel is often a paint with a glossy finish.

Color Wheel: A purposeful device created for painters to find the perfect contrasting shades of color without errors, is a simple color wheel. This simple invention helps you create a scheme for your room flawlessly, by showing you the colors that fail miserably together, and complement to bring out the best in each other. You can chose from monochromatic, complementary, contrast or analogues schemes through a color wheel.

Creating a Flow:  Have you entered a house or particular room and something just does not seem right? Choosing paint colors that complement each other are essential. Throughout your home, it is vital you maintain a schematic uniformity. This does not mean you cannot select different color schemes for rooms, but they should have a similar undertone. For example, if you select a red and blue undertone, then select colors contrasting either of the two for adjoining rooms to bring a flow in the wall paints.

Wall painting with a color flow is a means for achieving a harmonious atmosphere in your home. There are many ways to find the perfect balance of color in your home, hiring experts, visualising on virtual software or by the old try and test methods. Find the schemes that makes your home stand out and yet not feel strange and alien to your personality.
