Wall paints serve various purposes in a home; they help maintain the strength of the walls, brighten up the space and act as statement pieces. Designers also reveal a simple wall makeover can separate zones within the same space in your home. This is particularly relevant for small rooms and spaces.
These wall painting ideas will guide you through an abridged and functional makeover for your home, one wall at a time.
Wall Painting Ideas #1: Accent Wall
A colour as rich as Marcela, (which is also the Asian Paints colour of 2019, read here) deserves your undivided attention. Such deep and vibrant shades need no further ornamentation; the colour is a statement by virtue of its brilliance. Its best to leave accent walls bare and let the richness of the shade speak for itself.
Wall Painting Ideas #2: Adding Texture
When a room looks flat or lacks character, plain wall paint may not do the trick. In such cases, you need textured paint or wall panelling. Texture on a wall is like features on a face, it adds a distinct personality to the space, which becomes the focal point of a room.
Wall Painting Ideas #3: Demarcating Adjacent Zones
Space crunch is quite a common challenge in urban homes, and it has a classic solution: multi-functional rooms. A room with multiple functions works best when you have designated areas for each function such as sleeping, seating, dining and reading. Wall paint can be used to create zones adjacent to each other for each function. In this Livspace home, the reading area has been separated from the living room using turquoise wall paint and wooden flooring.
Wall Painting Ideas #4: Gallery Wall
A solid highlight colour works best for a gallery wall that is narrow. You can experiment with deeper shades like crimson or teal when space is limited. For wider gallery walls, stick with pastels or muted shades. The choice of wall colour is also subject to the type of photographs being displayed and the frames used for the same. For example, if the photographs are monochromatic, a lighter shade of wall paint must be used.
Wall Painting Ideas #5: Happy Highlights
While white is a great colour for walls, in the absence of abundant natural light, white rooms tend to look dull. A peppy colour like tangerine or yellow would give the room an instant facelift in such situations. Happy colours infuse energy into a space that changes the entire vibe of the room. The highlighted wall can be used as backdrop for open ledges in contrasting colours, photo frames, book shelves or console tables.
Wall Painting Ideas #6: Setting the Mood
Colours have a profound effect on our mood. Flaming red stokes hunger while green soothes the eyes. A happy yellow or orange peps up our moods. Designers reveal blues and greens work well for bedrooms as they have a calming effect on our moods. This happening yellow is a great pick for a balcony that is also a chill zone with comfy chairs and a sleek swing!
Wall Painting Ideas #7: Creating Themes
Themes are usually used to decorate either kids rooms or hobby rooms. In such scenarios, wall paints can help you state the purpose of a room without much ado. The silhouette of a ballerina on the wall is a clear indication that the room belongs to someone who loves dance. It could also be a studio for practicing ballet.
The above wall painting ideas can be used to designate specific areas in a house without creating clutter. Also, keep in mind that paint colours must complement the overall look and feel of the room and the furniture in it.
