Most people think that the most important step of getting a paint job for your home mainly comprises of the colour scheme. While that is an important part of the process, the type of paint you use matters a great deal as well.
Most homeowners already have an idea of how their home walls should look like in terms of colour arrangements, but not a lot of people look into the type of paint that should be used according to the exposure of a particular room/wall. At GT Painters Sydney, our professionals are here to give you some tips that have been proved to be working for a long time now.
1. Use washable paints in areas where walls are likely to get stained
This means that areas like the kitchen, children’s bedroom or the laundry are areas that have chances of getting the walls dirty. Fingerprints because children play around their bedrooms and touch the walls, oil or other grease substances on the kitchen wall is a common occurrence and the laundry’s walls are almost always getting water on them.
When deciding on the colour of busy rooms like these where the walls are exposed to hands and staining, try to pick a paint that is washable so that your Residential Paint Job lasts longer and requires less touch up(s) over the years.
2. Weather-Coat on the outside of your Home
In areas where the weather is harsh, on any side of the spectrum, the exterior paint of your house is much more likely to be worn off significantly earlier. In sunny and rainy areas both, the extreme weather conditions play a major role in weakening the top most layer of the paint and fading the colour very quickly.
As a result, the layers beneath are exposed and the paint job wears off rather quickly. In such conditions, the best solution is to choose a type of paint called “weather coat” or some variation of it. Basically, this type of paint is particularly made to withstand harsh weather conditions and as an added bonus is completely washable. Make sure that when you’re picking the paints for the exterior of your home, it’s a weather coat. This will help you make your paint job last longer so you don’t need a new one too soon.
3. Pick the colours wisely
It has been proved that the colour one chooses to paint his walls with has an effect on the psychological state of their mood and emotions. So when you are deciding on the colour scheme, don’t just go with whatever you want completely. Try to maintain a balance between logic and your own liking, as to balance the whole situation you’re going to be living in. Paint your house into a home.
