When a homeowner is looking to make a change to the interior of their home in Canfield, Cortland, Girard, Howland Center, Poland Center, OH, and the surrounding areas, one of the least expensive yet most noticeable change they can do is to paint the walls and/or ceiling of the rooms. Using brighter colors can make a room feel more open and airy, while darker colors can make a space feel more cozy or intimate. At The Home Works, we are proud to be a Benjamin Moore paint dealer, which gives us access to more than 3,500 different colors and shades to use. Because the area being changed is so significant to the room, even if it is only a single wall, paint makes a dramatic difference in a room. Often times homeowners find that they like the functionality of a room, but instead want a different color. Contact us today to learn more about how color can make a dramatic impact on your home.
Consider The Shape of The Room
Just by using the right shades of paint, you can make a room feel differently. For example, you may have a long room but you want it to feel shorter. Painting an accent wall a darker color can make that wall feel closer. Doing this same dark color to all walls as well as the ceiling makes a room feel more compact. If you want to make the ceiling feel as if it is lower than it is, paint the ceiling a darker color than the walls. Playing with the different surfaces in a room can give it a different feel just with the paint used.
The color of the paint you use can also make a difference to the room. Most people don’t realize it, but paint color can affect your mood. Choosing a blue or green color provides for a more relaxing room mood, while orange creates more of an energetic vibe. Red is sometimes used for bedrooms as this evokes passion and adventure, while white makes a room feel more open and airy.
More Than Just for Walls
While changing a wall color is often what homeowners choose to do, there are many other items that could be painted. Think about the doors in your home and how a change in color could make it more of a statement piece rather than just another door. You can also think about functionality in a room, such as providing a play wall for children by painting a portion of the wall with chalkboard paint. Or you could even try a pattern such as polka dots or stripes.
