Page THE HILLS June Follow simple painting rules If youre planning to pep up your living room bathroom or bouse or apartment with paint the profusion of paint colours on the market can be somewhat daunting but they dont have to be By following a few simple rules you can indulge your per sonal tastes and enjoy the results for years to come Bays David Beech Manager Colour and Design Para Inc manufacturer of paints and coatings Unless you are starting from scratch you seldom have the lux ury of selecting colours carte blanche so existing carpets ap pliances bathroom fixtures etc will necessarily dictate your selection of colours to a certain extent The room exposure will also in fluence your colour decision A cook north facing room will need warm colours a southern one cooler colours The size of a room is also a factor The deeper the colour the smaller a room looks thus the proportions of long nar row rooms can be effectively changed by painting the end walls in a deeper shade The same goes for painting a high ceiling in a smal room Interesting architectural features Should always be em phasized as they add a tremen dous amount of character to a room and in some cases can make up for a lack of furniture Knowing where to stop and start colours in an open plan situation can be tncky and in stead of using different colours its best to delineate changing areas with different shades of the same colour As an example you might select one of Pars popular neutrals from the warm beigt family such as New Beige Shadow and then choose lighter or darker hues such as Soft Wool or Bronco Grey For a series of rooms running from one to the other be sure to select colour themes that relate well to one another Consider the purpose of the room also Family rooms kit chens family bathrooms and bedrooms should be relaxing a hall warm and welcoming Lesser used rooms such as the living room guest bedroom powder room and even the din ing room if not a part of the kit chen can afford to be a little more daring and imaginative In addition consider when the room will be used the most ie colours look very different under ar tificial light Finally only use the trendier colours if you are personally hap py and comfortable with them Or if you do hanker for an exotic colour scheme try it first in the powder room or guest bedroom Then its not too hard to change if you tire of it A good quality paint will ensure the best result whatever your colour scheme Say I saw it in The Herald BOUCHER ALUMINUM NAME BRAND ALUMINUM SIDING Soffit ALCAN SELECTION Of COLOURS FHEE
