(NC)—The winter months are dark and dreary and many
of us crave colour as spring awakens. The least expensive way to
brighten up the home is with a simple can of paint. A fresh coat, a
bright accent wall or a new paint treatment – all of these can help us
physically and psychologically brush out winter and welcome spring.
The daunting task of selecting a colour scheme
without the help of a professional designer can be overwhelming. More
paint companies are going that extra step to offer consumers tools to
help them make coordinated choices. For the tech-savvy DIY-er, there
are mobile apps which can help with “visioning” a room. For those who
are a little more low-fi and enjoy a trip to the local paint dealer,
Canadian-based Para Paints has recently launched its ColourSquare tool
as part of its 2013 Colour Forecast Palette. The tool is a simple cut
out, designed to help even the most inexperienced decorator choose the
right palette of complementary hues. With the only full-size chips on
the market, Para is making decorator choices easier than ever.
One trick that designers often use to develop a
room's colour scheme is to start with a piece of art, or fabric and use
that as the jumping-off point. While some may want bold colours on their
walls, others may choose to bring a neutral room to life with the help
of a bright accent wall, or pops of colour in accent pillows, rugs and
art. Keep in mind that the paint colour you select will set the mood of
the room. However, at the end of the day no one knows your design
preferences better than you – so have fun, take chances and remember if
it doesn't work out you can always repaint it!
