Decorating
your home interiors ideas is one of the most crucial things to do and must be taken
care of meticulously. When you plan to redo your home, you must understand it
is not only about making your house look up-to-date with contemporary style but
it is also about keeping the traditional nature and character your house
intact.
So
if you have been honored by destiny with a home which dates back to the
previous fashion, here are some wall colour
tips for you to keep respecting its age gracefully:
- Hide or camouflage Imperfections easily by painting ceiling, walls and trims in the same shade of one colour. Usually the beauty of old homes lies in the carved trims or other details which were once fashionable but are difficult to maintain now because of lack of expert professionals. So painting walls, ceiling and trims in one colour while still highlighting the trims in a glossy finish coat will be a good idea. It will not only camouflage the cracks in the trim designs but will also lead the eye in the continuous flow to make these imperfections less noticeable while still highlighting the trims.
- Highlight existing trim if it is in good shape. If the existing ones have not worn out and are in great shape, you can flaunt them by using a shade darker to that of walls or a neutral or a near neutral contrasting shade. To create symmetry or consistency you can use your colour scheme in the same way in all the rooms. Painting the ceiling with the colour helps in creating a harmonious appeal.
- Stained Glass: If the windows have beautiful stained glasses, opaque or see-through, try to keep the wall paint as simple as you can. The best suitable walls to make your period windows appealing would be white walls. This will add elegance to your interiors and make your window glasses stand-out.
- Avoid using wall curtains. Wall paints and in-window shades should look good together. Don’t use wall curtains which might hide your elegant walls because that will bring down the appeal factor. As far as possible use the in-window shades, which will only cover the window glass and show-off the trims, high ceilings and well painted walls.
- Open Racks and shelves can be fixed on the walls to show walls behind them. They not only look stylish, but also do not seems to cover the visible space. This is why they are a good option to put up artefacts etc.
- Simple walls and period houses look best when the furniture too is simple and you may create a fusion by using contemporary style of furniture upholstered with modern colour schemes. If planned and implemented well, this idea can transform your house from average to outstanding.
- Blending new and old styles requires a lot of concentration and focus on balance. This is extremely important these days so that modern day gadgets like TV, projectors, etc. don’t look out of place.
- These tips can help you maintain the look of your old house while also keeping it stylish and submerged in a personality of your choice.
