Paint is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to change your home.
Whether you call in the professionals or diy no job is a good job unless you get the colour right.
Facing a colour wall in a paint store is the best way to scare most people to the most neutral of colours, but it needn’t be that way.
Whether it’s a single room or a whole house, start looking for design ideas online, in magazines or even walk around your neighbourhood. I love to scour real estate listings for renovated properties, and will happily doorknock to compliment owners on a great colour and ask what it is!
A colour consultation from Handmade Interior can take all of the guesswork out of this daunting task. After spending time to assess your home, your design style and taste and your neighbourhood I’ll present you with 2-3 schemes that will work for you, all tested on your home here in Melbourne so you can really make a good decision.
You might decide you’d like your house painted grey with white trims – get to know the anatomy of grey and you’ll be in for a shock. Blue and purple are the undertones many greys can throw. Imagine thinking you’ve chosen grey, only to find your house looks ice blue or grape!
A new coat of paint will help to protect your home and investment, but’s not just about numbers. Fall in love with your home when it has been painted in a colour scheme that suits you, your home and your location.
Here the homeowners purchased a home that had been recently painted. I recommended a warm grey with yellow undertones to complement the main weatherboard colour. By simplifying the colour scheme and adding black & white this property has a new identity.
I can work with you and your budget to create a look you will love.
