Decorating Tips

Few additions transform the interior of your home more than a new coat of paint. Interior paint adds variety, colour, and a touch of your personality to any room. Different interior paint colours can also be a great design tool, making larger rooms feel cosier and smaller rooms feel more spacious.

Here are a few tips when it comes to choosing paint for inside your home, so that you can feel confident you’re making the right paint decisions for your interior spaces.

Overwhelmed by the Options?

There are literally thousands of colours to choose from. First and foremost, look for colours that are pleasing to you.

Think Design when Choosing Interior Paint

You also want to think about what impact different interior paint colours are going to have on different spaces. Light interior paint colours make a room feel more spacious, and are an excellent choice if you’re dealing with tight, confined spaces. Darker colours work the opposite, and are best suited for larger, spacious areas where you want to reign things in a little bit. On the flip side, darker colours are also more comforting and inviting, making them perfect for entryways, living rooms, and other areas where you entertain guests. Lighter colours lack the warmth of darker shakes, making spaces feel more formal and proper.

Flat, Satin, Eggshell, Semi-gloss, and Gloss

The last decision you ' re going to need to make is which type of paint to use in each area. Flat paint is great for uses in areas that receive low traffic. Satin, eggshell, and semi-gloss paints are better for high traffic areas, since they resist staining and are easier to clean than flat paints. And if you really want an area or architectural feature to get noticed, use glossy paint to get that perfect shine. Of course, remember, the glossier the paint, the more you’ll notice imperfections in the painted surface as well.

Decorating on a Budget

No money? No problem. Try our tips for decorating on a budget. These ideas will breathe new life into your home.
1 Train your eye: Know what great high-end design pieces look like so that you can have them in mind while hunting at discount or big box stores, flea markets or thrift shops.

2 Be patient: Wait for floor sample sales to get good deals and don't feel like you have to race to finish your space. You want to find the right thing at the right price, not just anything at the right price.

3 Paint a piece of furniture (or a few) glossy black. This works on junk shop finds or new pieces with cheesy finishes.

4 Spend some money: All on-the-cheap rooms just look cheap, not chic. Every room needs a few splurges - special pieces that announce their quality. Decide what “splurge” means to you and do it!

5 Just say no to boring mass produced “art”. Instead, get creative with large collages made from wrapping paper, wallpaper scraps or maps. Paint a large canvas with leftover paints. Pop kids art into off-the-shelf frames with mattes. Hang a beautifully patterned fabric from wooden dowels.

6 Go big with accessories. Many tiny items make a place look cluttered and cheapy. Instead opt for overscale accessories like standing floor vases, plump floor cushions, pillar candles rather than tea-lights.

7 Use texture: Combine shiny, matte, soft and rough natural textures to add richness to a space. Sparkle always adds a dash of glamour.

8 Don't scrimp on the size of your area rug. Many nice rooms are ruined by the use of a postage-stamp sized rug. Can't find one big enough and don't want to spend the earth: go to a broadloom store and order a piece to be cut and bound (choose a sisal look-a-like in wool or sythetic fibre).

9 Decorate with black and white. Just like with fashion, these colours (or non-colours) never look tired and combined can result in dramatic spaces that look like their total price tag was much higher that the actual cost. 10 Buy gutsy lamps. Lighting is often an after-thought when decorating on a budget but spindly, too-small lamps are a common faux-pas. Instead, layer your lighting (overhead, task, ambient), switch bulbs to halogen or natural daylight bulbs and buy lamps that have a sculptural appeal.
