Ideas for Painting Walls

By Owen Jones


So, here you are then, in your new house! Its a bit of a mess though since the previous owner was in a rush to sell and had been in the middle of redecorating. But, you don't really mind that though, since it gives you the perfect opportunity to do your house up exactly the way you want it.

However, now you need to decide where everything should go and which colours would suit which rooms, but you don't have any wall painting ideas.

So, you eagerly look through your new keys and wander through your new house. The moment you step in through a door ideas hit you. That stylish standard lamp you bought a while ago would look great in the corner, and you're pretty sure that your existing couch set will fit in that other room. And you know that a mahogany table would look stunning in the hallway. The only thing you really don't have much of a clue about are wall painting ideas.

You definitely don't want to just dab on a few coats of bland paint and be done with it. What you want is something special, something that you can look on with pride every time you see it. And, naturally, you should be able to keep looking at it with pleasure for quite some time to come as well, so it shouldn't be too domineering.

But where can you get some good wall painting ideas from, and how can you go about getting the wall painting done? There are a few ways that you could go about it. The easiest being if you have an artistic streak in you, then you could always get your wall painting ideas off the cuff, so to speak and paint the walls as you like. Unfortunately, most of us aren't very artistic and we are hesitant to pick up a brush or roller and apply the first coat of paint without supervision. In this case then, you will need some help.

You could start off by hiring a professional interior designer to help you to decide what would look suit your home or you could sit down and watch some DIY TV programs, in which they show some pretty good ideas on what to do when re-decorating a house and will even give you some stylish wall painting ideas.

If neither of these is a viable option for you though, you could just settle for going down to your local hardware shop with a few fabric swatches and colour sheets of your most prominent pieces of furniture and enlist their help on stylish wall decorating ideas.

You may come up with a hodge-podge of wall painting ideas with this last suggestion, but I found that it was the one that worked best for me and now I'm very proud of my 'personalized' house, because it reflects who I am just perfectly.
