When it comes to wall painting, there are many things one can do. However, in most cases, people prefer to stick to the conventional route. This is a pity because colours are an integral part of our lives and you should be able to have fun with them. The walls of your home are blank canvases waiting to be brought to life with the use of interior paints in the best combinations.

If you keep an open mind, you will find that you can find inspiration in the most unexpected, simple and everyday places. To act on these inspirations, it’s important to give some thought to what your personal style preferences are. It is a great tip to keep a scrap-book of the colours, patterns, combinations and textures that catch your eye. This way, you will have a vision in your mind when you want to get your rooms painted. The next time you want to give your house a facelift, start off by giving your walls a fresh look with these fun ideas.

Create Contrast

It is possible to give a space a whole new vibe if you go with this choice. Choose two shades that will create a sense of light and shadow in the room. A fun idea for a living room would be to use charcoal grey for two walls and bright red for the other two. The end result will be dramatic, yet elegant at the same time. It works particularly well when you have white accent pieces in the room.

Wall Finishes

There is a whole variety of wall texture painting finishes that you can pick from. Depending on which room you use, go for soft or more pronounced textures. Bolder textures are apt for spaces where you entertain people or as the backdrop of the dining area. On the other hand, softer and smaller finishes are complementing of areas of resting or relaxation in a home. Berger Paints India has its very own range of impressive finishes, Silk Illusions. You can choose from wall finishes that are in satin, matt, marble, metallic or gloss finishes.

Accent Walls

An accent wall is perfect to frame statement furniture such as the couch, bed or dining table. It will bring a much needed pop of colour to just about any room. There are a plethora of colours and combinations which will spruce up your home. A rust orange wall in a light grey living room will bring in the warmth that the space needs. An idea that will bring a breezy easy vibe to your plain white bedroom is a sea blue accent wall behind the headboard of your bed.

Wall Designs

If you are willing to be experimental, go with wall designs, art or stencils. If you don’t want to go for anything too out there, pick subtler patterns that achieve the desired effect. For instance, a wall painting with vertical stripes, in two contrasting colours, will make quite an eye-catching statement. A deep purple wall with gold abstract stencilled designs on it is sure to bring a royal, yet cosy look to any room you choose to use it in. You can take your pick from a wide range of stencils in colours of your choice from Berger Paints India catalogue.

There are many ways to make the spaces your kids spend their time in more lively and interesting. While there are wall paints in a variety of colours which you can use in your kid’s room, wall stencils will breathe life into those colourful walls. Besides, selecting a wall design that complements your child’s personality can be a fun way to bond with your kid before getting the painting done in their bedroom or playroom.

Wall stencils are an excellent way to transform the feel of a room with the use of different prints or patterns, or a combination of the two. The key here is to pick out a stencil that stands out over the paint on the wall. When it comes to children’s spaces especially, the idea is to give expression to their budding personalities in a way that they are surrounded by stimuli that ignite their imagination.

As you will shortly see, at Berger Paints India, we have designed a range of wall stencils that are creative and stimulating for your child’s young mind. And the best part? Berger Easy Clean stencils ensures that stains are the least of your problems as wall stains can be easily cleaned, giving you peace of mind, and your child the freedom to be a child!

Stencils to Suit Each Child’s Unique Personality

Children outgrow many things pretty quickly, so always remember that when they do so, you can always have their room/s repainted to resonate with their ever-evolving personalities.

The Toddler’s Retreat

Every parent wishes their tiny tot to be in a nurturing environment. This is a stage when your child’s brain is developing at a fast pace, so finding a balance between calming as well as lively elements in their room is a must.

Opt for powder blue, golden yellow, mellow green or rosy pink colours for their walls. Then pair it up with Berger’s baby-themed stencils such as Spotted Giraffe for a safari feel or Playful Monkeys to catch your little one’s imagination. In this scenario, it is up to you as a parent to decide the colour palette and make a stencil choice to go with it.

The Pre-Teen Sanctuary

These are the years of explorations and new experiences. This is the time when goals, ambitions, aspirations and dreams take hold of their young minds. In such a period, providing your pre-teen with a space that is effortless, sleek and open can be very beneficial to them.

Stencils like the Kite Runner which will work well on a light blue wall or the Merry Glider that would stand out well on a pastel yellow or grey wall will encourage them to explore their goals and dreams, while stoking their creativity.

The Teenage Adventure

It is no secret that teenage years are all about finding self-expression. These are the years of youthful exuberance when emotions, activities and ideas are at a high intensity. It only is logical that this is reflected in their room/s in your home.

For a teen that’s enthusiastic about sports, the stencil Basketball Match is a good choice to excite their senses. And if they love outdoor activities, Rock Climber would be a perfect match to their thrill-seeking quests. Another suggestion is to have Berger Easy Clean colours that contrast and are vibrant on the wall, such as Tuscan Orange and Southern Skies.

So the next time you are looking for inspiration for your child’s room, you should consider wall stencils. They bring a new feature into the space, enlivening it in the process and it’s a sure-fire conversation starter that is sure to impress their friends.

In the hustle of our busy lives, we are faced with various forms of stress that ultimately wind up invading our personal spaces too. We really don’t recommend this, as your home is where you recharge and rejuvenate to face each new day. Fortunately, there is a lot you can consciously do to prevent this from happening.

Your bedroom is the place you retire to at the end of each day and it’s also where you begin your day. So making it a cocoon of rest and relaxation that calms you after a long day, as well as revitalizes you to face the challenges of your day, is exactly what you need. There are endless ways to achieve this and we have outlined the basics and other tips to start you off in the right direction.

Cut the Clutter

Clutter in any space has a negative impact on the mind. So, look around your bedroom and identify the areas that have accumulated unwanted articles. Having too many things surrounding you could be the reason you haven’t been sleeping soundly. When there are distracting elements in a room, it can be a challenge to feel peaceful. Take the time to de-clutter and you will instantly feel a weight being lifted off your shoulders.

Colour Combination

Make sure that you give some deliberate thought to your bedroom colour combination. You can use colours to shift your mood, so start becoming aware of the shades that draw your attention and how they make you feel. Going with a neutral palette is always a classic choice, but you can also opt for dark shades of grey, deep purple, green and the likes. The trick then is to choose linens and drapes that are pastels or monochromatic.

Décor Decisions

Depending on the room colour combinations you have carefully selected, the décor decisions can be made. For instance, in your bedroom, it is not advisable to have too many pieces so, let the bed be the focal point. Create the right ambience around the bed that promotes sleep and restfulness. This can be achieved with some potted plants, a table-top fountain, scented candles, soft textured rugs on the floor and so on.

No Tech Zone

It is a fact that our lives are ruled by technology, whether at the workplace or in the house. We are constantly being bombarded by data and our minds are in constant overdrive from this information overload. It is of paramount importance to be aware of this fact and allow our minds to return to its natural rhythm. A great way to ensure this is to keep electronics in the bedroom to a bare minimum. You are sure to notice a positive impact on your sleeping habits, attention levels and productivity throughout your day.

Lighting Choices

Having access to natural light is ideal in a bedroom; however, having the choice of a complete blackout is also essential. Achieve this with black out curtains for your bedroom windows. For lighting within the room, pick adjustable lighting that is not harsh or disruptive. Lamps and light fixtures can also be used to create an atmosphere of soothing calmness that lulls you into blissful sleep.

With these practical suggestions, we are sure that you can easily create an oasis of relaxation within your home that isn’t just soothing to look at but also defines relaxation and rest for a well energized you!
