The impact of color in a space

For over 20 years we have been providing high end exclusive finishes, moderately priced faux finishes and painting services both interior and exterior, and while the materials and textures play an important role in the overall look; the major player is color.

Nothing creates a mood, feel or flavor like color. It's fascinating to see how different cultures use

color and what a difference a change in color can make in a home. Try this paint experiment ( or at least imagine it). Take a room in your house and imagine it in a soft yellow with white ceiling and trim. Then paint it in a deep red. Then try a light green shade. Then a deep cobalt blue. Now try a light color and use a half shade darker of the same color on the ceiling. Next try a light color and use much darker colors for the doors, and trim. Each color change you make is going to dramatically change the feel of the room (in a good or bad way depending on your preferences). This without any other changes to the room. You could try changing any other one element in the room by itself, such as furniture, drapes, art work, etc. and not get anywhere near the impact of the one single action that you get from color change.

We make no bones about our affinity for color.

Not all our clients can afford specialty finishes for their homes but most everyone can afford paint. So no matter what, we always push for color.

Now a days most paint companies have paint software programs and apps that show you templates of rooms in a house or even a picture of a room in your home. You can then try different colors from their color decks in the template or picture. You don't get the full feel, but you can get a chance to sample different colors in your rooms at no cost. Just a few examples - Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams.

Give your home a fresh new feel in 2014 – with color!
