Once upon a time, the whole idea of home was simple. A roof and four walls, with some pictures hanging and perhaps a lick of paint to brighten a room up a little. Indeed, brightening a room up has always been important, but paint can do far more than that today. The range of paints available from the leading brands makes anything possible, with Dulux paint offering one of the biggest and best. Of course, there are many ways to make a home more than just a building. Social activities such a garden or patio barbecue, also brings life to a home with guests and family feasting on succulent cuts hot from a Weber barbecue. meanwhile, an array of modern fixtures, pictures and artistic work, fixed to the walls with the ultra secure Spax screw, stamps a personal mark on a home. However, as any interior decorator will testify, the right paint not only brightens but enlivens a room, turning the space into an experience. In fact, creativity knows no bounds, whether the surface is wood, plaster or metal, the home that a home owner wants can simply be a brush stroke away. We have put together a brief list of ideas that show just how effective the choice of paint can be in bringing a room of life, changing the experience from a run of the mill three dimensional one to a sense inspiring four dimensional one. Relaxing by the Ocean When we want to relax, most people will point to the soothing attraction of the beach and the sound of the waves washing onto the sandy shore. It is hard to beat that sense of space, openness and freedom that the expanse of an ocean provides. Getting that same sense into the confines of a home might seem impossible, but with the right shade of ocean blue the walls can be pushed back. For example, one could choose to splash Atlantic Surf on the walls of the lounge, a darkish hue of blue that mixes senses of security and calmness in one colour. Alternatively, one can for the deeper blue provided by Wild Water, allowing the home owner feel the privacy a firm and solid shade suggests. Or perhaps a brighter option in Hawaiian Blue is better, taking the occupant away from their confined space and landing them by the great open expanse of the sea. Bathing in the Forest When one is tired of bathing in the boring surrounds of a stereotypical bathroom, perhaps the refreshing surrounds of a forest would be better. With an array of green to choose from, those urban walls can be pushed away with shades of living foliage. Woodland Fern, for example, is a dark green reminiscent of the deep mountain forests of Europe, removing the dullness of the city and replacing it with a taste and sense of true nature. Or perhaps Amazon Jungle, a lighter shade of green that mixes that exotic brightness of an equatorial region with the sense of wildness that the Amazon connotes. Of course, the earthiness of Celtic Forest provides a unique sense of nature too, with a refreshing green mixed with a brownish hue that highlights an ancient woodland quality. Sundrenched Dining And what can be more enjoyable than family dining in a kitchen filled with the brightness of sunlight. The Dulux paint range includes yellows and saffrons that enhance every ray of sunlight into a family kitchen or dining room. Sundrenched Saffron, for example, a darker shade of yellow that offers a sense of restrained brightness to a traditionally flirtatious bright colour. Alternatively, if one prefers a bright yellow, then there is Sunny Savannah, a strong and inspiring shade. Or maybe Sundust is more preferable, an inviting, earthy yellow. These are just some of the myriad of colour options available. And just as a Weber barbecue can provide friends and family with succulent eating, and Spax screws can hold artistic tastes firmly on the walls to all to admire, these shades of paint bring a home to life. With some imagination and the right shades of paint, it is not difficult to turn the confines of a room into a stepping stone to where ever the home owner wants.
