When it comes to painting the interior of your house, the choice of interior paint is crucial. The colour, accent, and finish can change the living experience in your house and any decorating decisions you will take. But how do you go about getting this project done? You might also be wondering whether you should do the painting yourself or hire professional help. Or what kind of paint colours you should choose to give an ambient touch? These are some questions that many homeowners contend with when they paint their house. But you don’t have to worry. Here are some quick tips to help you have a beautiful home, one that truly complements your living style, your furniture, and interior decoration.

Let’s first address the “Who” of the whole project, as in who should do the painting. You should hire a painter if you have a large house, high ceilings or do not have much time. Find out in your neighbourhood the painting contractors they usually hire because recommendations are the best way to find one. This way you will find someone whose work is trusted, whose work you can already witness, and be relaxed about the money spent.

If this is not the case, make sure that you get different quotes before finalizing a painting contractor. Be careful in your inquiries because some of them may only share broad estimates with you. Likewise, they may also refrain from explaining the total estimated cost. But remember if you don’t get this information beforehand, you may exceed your budget in the later stages. Fixed quotes ensure the right expectations. Make sure that the quote has all line items with their details and pricing. Check whether the number of coats, the preparation costs, and other miscellaneous are explained and included.

On the contrary, if your house is relatively small and you want to save some money, you can consider getting the paint project done yourself. Make sure to budget your time as well so that you can finish according to your other commitments.

The next important thing to tackle is the “What” of the project. as in what paints you should consider. When it comes to interior wall paints, make sure that you are choosing a low VOC or zero VOC paints. These paints can create a huge difference in the air quality of your living space. Most paints have VOCs, which are dangerous and make the living environment unhealthy. You remember inhaling the toxic fumes in a newly painted house? This is why you should consider the eco-friendly paints which have no oil, no harmful chemicals, and almost no solvents. Look for the best interior paint in India, which has zero VOC but is also free from vinyl, VOC colorants, plasticizers, and toxic biocides. You can easily locate them on the labels of these paints.

Your next crucial decision will be about the interior wall paint colours. There are lots of misconceptions in the market so we will try to break these down for you. One of the most common misconceptions is that you should paint small rooms with dark colours. While darker shades may make the room seem small, if you are going for a more intimate or cozy look, they can help achieve it.

Another common misconception is about the ceilings. You must have often noticed that ceilings are painted white; this is so because people fear their ceilings would appear too low. But experts find that colours other than white can also give a sense of depth, making it look like the ceiling is quite high.

When it comes to picking out a colour, you need not just follow the latest trends. You should instead choose according to what moods and feelings you associate with colours. After all the colour should match with your personality, should fit with your preferences and likes. Once you have decided upon the colours for all your rooms, decide upon what finishing you would like. Kitchen and children’s rooms should have paints that can easily wash off while your living room can have a matte or glossy finish.

Happiness begins at home and the right colours can help you achieve exactly that.
