Interior designers understand the power of grey and white, be it for interior wall colours or exterior wall colours. An understated neutral palette that is so versatile; you can go for a classic look and keep things looking simple and understated or add fun colour combinations and patterns using accents like rugs, chairs, throws or cushions. Whether you are aiming for a laid-back vibe, minimalistic Scandinavian chic or calming aesthetics, here are some of our favourite ways to incorporate the colour palette in your favourite rooms without it looking boring and plain.

Modern Chic

A suburban living room that features a couch, small home office and décor accents in subdued hues, including grey for a modern vibe. A simple throw, freestanding mirror and rug add a cosy vibe and the utilitarian desk is perfect for work from home days.

Minimalistic haven

Taking a lesson from the Japanese, this bedroom is ideal if you are looking for a minimalistic vibe. It exudes a micro living vibe, in white and grey accents, doing away with the clutter and junk and embracing only the necessities.

Bohemian Beauty

Bohemian style is personal, exotic and free-spirited. Bring the allure of boho to your room by incorporating decorative, chic pieces like this boho swing. Stick to a neutral grey and white palette for a soft, warm bohemian room décor.

Scandinavian Style

Minimalism meets functionality meets simplicity. We see why hygge decor style has swept the world over. Bring the distinct aesthetics to your house by using clean lines, sleek and timeless décor pieces and a neutral palette like this Scandinavian inspired living room.

Monochrome living

Creating a monochrome palette for your living room is a great idea, giving you a base design structure that you can change and adapt because it is so versatile. If you are in the mood for colour, you could add a colourful rug and cushions and if you want to create a nautical vibe, you could add striped curtains and a few sailor accent pieces. Or you could just keep it classy and simple for an understated yet chic living room style.

The power of dark

Grey might sound like a boring choice for interior wall colours, but it can actually be insanely chic or cosy, depending on the vibe you are trying to create. We particularly love this dark grey living room that boasts a timeless quality and adds a warm, inviting touch using a classic neutral palette.

When it comes to a colour upgrade, we only think of wall painting. But with a bit of imagination (and some paint), anything in your house can be your canvas, from your doors to kitchen cabinets to the flooring. Once you have picked your paint colours, it is time to use these 5 unexpected painting ideas for your next art project with these décor ideas:

1. On the doors

   A bright coloured door can add a fun décor element to your house, be it the outside or the inside. We recommend going for bold colours to make your front door more welcoming in shades like bright coral, blues, red or yellows. For the interiors, we recommend going for the same hues, keeping in mind it goes well with your living room or entryway.

2. On the kitchen cabinets

   Who said your kitchen cabinets have to be boring and dull? Add some interest to your kitchen with an eye-catching colour using paint. This can give your kitchen an instant upgrade without any major changes, perfect for home renovation on a budget.

   

3. On the floor

   The floor of your house is a great place to add patterns and colours and give your house a unique style statement. If you have hardwoods or even neutral tiles, you do not have to tear the flooring apart to brighten up things, you can make your existing floor look brand new by painting it.

   

4. Typography

   Using paint, you can create a simple and cool wall display with a personalised message. It can be an inspirational quote or something fun and clever or even a dialogue from your favourite movie. You can add a fun message to any room of your house to create any mood you wish to.

5. Refurbish old furniture

   Furniture upgrades are an expensive affair. Breathing new life into old furniture is easy, if you have enough time on your hand. First sand and prime your furniture and get ready to give your old furniture a major upgrade. You can customise and choose colours that suit your room and bring your old furniture back in vogue.

   

DIY Painting: Why some jobs are best left to professionals

So, you are thinking of getting your house painted. But you are not sure where to start, things you need to consider, the right technique and method of getting your house painted. This is exactly why you need professionals to help you paint your house

Let’s face it. Some jobs are best left to professionals. People in certain types of employment are professionals for a very good reason. Be it any field, healthcare, education, architecture, business or finance. We have professionals to do jobs that they are best skilled and equipped to do.

Painting your house requires skills and professional dexterity to do an efficient job. It is definitely not easy as it looks and you could actually end up spending more money and time in the first place, risk injuring yourself and the house might end up looking worse than when you started painting.

Professional painters will use the right set of tools for the painting project. The team will use top-quality paint and good-quality brushes, rollers, and mechanised mixers, pressure cleaners for a fast painting service.

Painting the interiors of a house requires training, not only in the basic functions but also experience of chemical handling and storage, safety concerns and how to give it professional paint finish. If you decide to paint the house yourself, you could be compromising on the quality and end results due to lack of skills and knowledge and sooner or later, might have to hire a professional to do the job and achieve the quality you are looking for.

One of the primary reasons why people decide to paint their houses themselves is cutting down on the cost by not hiring a professional. However, attempting to paint your home will actually end up costing you more money. A professional’s job will be thorough and of good quality so that you do not have to think about painting for a few years.

Professional painters go through a complete training regarding safety and health factors you can’t ignore while painting house walls. You could risk getting injured from ladder accidents, causing severe back and spine injuries. In India alone, about 300 people die annually from ladder accidents, according to a report by EHS Today. Hiring a professional could save you from these threats, ensuring your safety.

Painting a house takes time, especially if you are not experienced. What will take a professional painter a couple of days to paint might end up taking you weeks and there is a good possibility you might not be satisfied with the end result, causing you more time to fix it or hire a professional to do an efficient job.
