2011-2012 Color Trends by Cugini Painting

The 2011–2012 Inviting theme celebrates the beauty, contentment and simplicity of everyday life. Reflecting our increasing desire to return to a more relaxed, meaningful and informal style of living, this palette features colours reminiscent of familiar things that make us happy.

Homes will emanate the timeless beauty of the natural world in 2011–2012 as a growing number of people choose an Authentic theme in home décor. Demonstrating our growing appreciation for the earth, its materials and creativity, this grouping features timber, clay, earth and denim tones enlivened by a dash of inspiring yellow.

The 2011–2012 Dazzling theme features fun and imaginative colours delivered in an energetic expression of simplicity. Charming, fun and slightly childlike, this palette is refreshingly simple, yet brings back a sense of poetry and pleasure into our lives and a smile to our faces.

Right now, colour zoning is one of the hottest trends in home decorating. It’s a big bold way to add colourful punch to a room.

Choosing The Right Colors For Your Home

When choosing the right color for your home, you should ask yourself some questions first:
What’s the room orientation?
The light, whether natural or artificial, influences the look of any color. If the room faces north, you should chose warm colors to reduce coldness. If the room faces south, interior colors will have warm reflexion, which allows you to use a “colder” color pattern. Eastern or western illumination gives a mild red note to everything.
Should a room size be visually corrected?
Light and cold colors make the walls and furniture look more distant, so we use these colors to visually increase the room dimensions. Dark and warm colors create a welcome feeling but also reduce the room dimensions; therefore, such colors should be reserved for large spaces.
What is the purpose of a room?
Neutral or pastel colors are the most appropriate for a bedroom or a living room; light shades of blue or green can freshen up a bathroom; red or purple details in the kitchen inspire creativity.

Why Paint?

Why should you paint rooms on the interior of a house? You will be better able to answer this question when the paint job is completed. At that time you will be proud of the beautiful new rooms that you have created. An interior paint job makes the home more attractive, clean, fresh and beautiful, just like it is brand new. Nothing improves the appearance of the home better than a fresh paint job.

Before you paint there may be holes or cracks in the walls and ceiling. Also furniture often makes unattractive marks on the walls. You may just want a change. A good interior house painting totally transforms a home. One of the greatest reasons that I love to complete a paint job is to see how good it makes the homeowner feel. They are always thrilled and grateful for the work.

Another reason to paint an interior is to increase the value of a home. Also, if you are selling the house, it will almost always sell shortly after the application of the home paint, and for a higher price than it would have before the painting. I have painted homes and later heard from the homeowner that the house sold for more than they expected. Many times an appraisal after the painting is for a higher value than it was previous to the work. If there is a vacant home that has been on the market for a long time with no offers, a new coat of paint almost always sells the home within a couple of months.
