Ideas for Interior Painting

By Michael James

Redecorating or renovating your home is never easy and it just gets especially harder and more boring when you need to paint as well. Sloshing on one coat of paint after another can be draining if you're doing it alone and still have the whole house to think about.

And let's not even start talking about the ceilings! But even if you do stick to the same old fashioned exterior paint job, it doesn't need to be the same for the interior - you could always try some wild and wonderful interior painting ideas. If nothing else you'll be guaranteed a reaction from all who enter your house.

By reducing the exterior painting plans to the necessary minimum, you can spend more time and creativity to the inside. You can let your imagination run wild with all those interior painting ideas you always wanted to implement but never got around to. And, as they say, there's no time like the present, and be honest, when are you going to get round to redecorating your house again?

Don't become alarmed though, when I'm talking about out of this world interior painting ideas I'm not saying that you should go with something that resembles a Picasso painting. I'm talking about something more along the lines of a paint job that will reflect back who you are.

So your interior painting ideas need not be anything bolder than a splash of vibrant colour on one wall, surrounded by soothing colours on the other walls. This works very well in any house and the vibrant colour that you pick out can be either soothing or primal, depending on what you want to show of yourself. You could, of course, always go to extremes and emulsion all the walls a bright vibrant shade or even mix and match different shades on different walls.

If you're going to do this, then you may want to think about the effect you'll have and whether you can actually bear to live with the colour scheme for very long. Outlandish yet inspired interior painting ideas are all very well and good, but you should always take into account whether you're going to be able to bear the sight of your newly panted walls or not after a month or so. If you are going to have to repaint everything again, it sort of defeats the object, doesn't it?.

This doesn't mean that you should restrain your creativity or stifle your interior painting ideas, all it means is that some of the bolder ideas you have, should perhaps be the subject of a small test-run somewhere else.

Don't think of painting your house as a chore. If you really want to, you can always think of yourself as Michelangelo or Da Vinci or any one of those great artists and paint a stunning picture on your walls. The only requirement is that you turn your great interior painting ideas into reality and that you have fun while you're at it. - 30435
