When you lived with your parents, they mainly decided the colors of the house. When you lived in college dorms, you couldn’t go on painting adventures on your own. And, when you lived in rented apartments, it had to be neutral colors to suit the owner’s prerogative. But now that he’s married, the place he calls home must be extraordinary and romantic.
Make your Home your Romantic Paradise!
As newlyweds, your home should allow you to live your life comfortably. But that doesn’t mean you have to undertake massive renovation projects on your property. You can paint the walls with the color of your choice and beautify them. It will be cheap, easy and fast. But, before you dial the number for a house painter, here are some house painting ideas to make things easier for you:
· The purpose of the room
Painting a house does not mean choosing a color and painting all the rooms with it. It is not as simple as it seems. You have to consider the purpose of each room and then make a choice. If you have a dining room that you will be using to entertain guests, it is best to choose colors that make the room elegant and create an illusion of space. Ask your painter to give the floor a wood finish to make it look sophisticated. On the other hand, the bedroom is your personal space. Find inspiration in things that appeal to both of you and paint the room in rich tones to make it romantic.
· Not ‘me’, it’s ‘we’
Newlyweds often have arguments about the choice of colors for the home. But it’s important to remember that even though you’ve agreed to spend your life together, you’re not the same person. Both will have different options. And, if you want the home to be a romantic haven, you’ll need to consider everyone’s choices.
If your spouse loves the color pink and you like neutral shades of brown and gray, you can make it work. Ask your painter to provide you with color palettes that include his or her favorite colors. Typically, a reputable painter has a team of color consultants who work closely with homeowners to resolve their dilemmas. You can ask color consultants about your color choices and get things going.
· Attractions Center
Painting is not just giving a fresh air to the walls. You can have a piece of furniture, a painting or a tapestry to be the center of attraction. Don’t restrict the look of the bedroom with candles, hang some picture frames to make it more personal. You can put photos of your wedding, honeymoon or other events that are special for both of you.
Once you decide what will be the center of attraction in a particular room, you can decide on the color of the walls. Make sure the color complements the accessories and furnishings in the room.
Painting the house may be the first adventure you start as a couple. Therefore, it is essential that you spend adequate time planning. When it comes to painting, patience is key. Talk to your painter and ask for suggestions. Research online and talk to your spouse about making your home highlight both your style and your personality.
