Just as you can you dye your hair and reverse and look better, same goes for your home, it only takes the decision study it and get to work.
Types of paints
Take into account if indoor or outdoor. Then if it is bright or not, brightness refers to the degree that reflects light, the less brightness, less resistance to stains. They are classified into:
Enamels: for easy to clean surfaces.
Semi-gloss: less bright but more durable, for woodwork, kitchens, bathrooms or places of high humidity.
Satin: A combination of gloss and easy cleaning.
Mate: they are not reflective, for large areas of walls and ceilings.
Colors and their combinations
The target and all its nuances: they are a safe bet. Ideal for large rooms and small, in these visually expands the space.
Pastel colors: blue, tan, chickpea, mustard add a nice shade because they are light or bright.
The bright yellow: you can bring warmth, energy and optimism can be combined with green, pink and mauve.
The gray stone is elegant and sophisticated, combined with browns, chocolates, tans and whites. It is a color for work and relaxation environments.
Oranges and reds: they are classics especially when combined with dark wood furniture. Can be used in rooms large and bright, otherwise darken and shrink the space. Never for bedrooms or areas of work.
Colors and their effects
Yellow, orange and red are colors that give a sensation of heat a dark room too large or can be combined with straw or neutral.
Green, blue and purple, just the opposite effect, cooling any space, you can even give the impression of distance and can seem impersonal in certain areas, but in bedrooms and studies are the best option.
White and yellow, light colors are ideal for almost any surface, especially for those small and dark, choose one of these tones brilliant and that area will look much better.
Blue and brown, heavy colors create a cozy feel, sophisticated oversized rooms. But if you use it in the wrong place its effect can be terrible, shrinks and darkens.
Gold, terracotta and dark green, create atmospheres or households that are not only pleasant to live, but that offer flexibility as it relates to accessories, tapestries, carpets and curtains.
The ideal combination
One secret is to use warm colors in the background to highlight the rest of the home. You can also use dark colors in the lower parts of the house then colored to the eye as it rises. The neutral colors (white, gray, brown, mustard, sky blue) provide serenity, the cakes are cool, calm, yellow palette is dense and lively, the terracotta make larger rooms and cozy.
