Transforming your living room with a fresh coat of paint and strategic decor enhancements can breathe new life into your space. With our experience in painting and decorating, we offer services tailored specifically to suit the needs of each individual home, ensuring a result that aligns with your vision and enhances the architectural features of your living room. Here is how this can be brought about if your living room has high ceilings, bay windows, or any other unique attributes.
Living Room Elements
High Ceilings
High ceilings can give a room a feel of spaciousness and elegance, while at the same time making it slightly cold. To make the room have a more cozy feel with a warm ambiance; it would be great to choose dark or warm colors for the ceiling. Painting the ceiling with a bit darker shade compared to
that of the walls creates an illusion of lowering it down and thereby giving it a snug look. Furthermore, vertical stripes or patterns on the walls could be used to improve its height as well as add some touch of class.
Bay Windows
Bay windows are amazing especially when they bring natural light into any room. Enhance this architectural beauty by using contrasting colours for window frames and surrounding walls. On one hand, bright, gentle hues will make the space seem bigger; otherwise, darker ones may create stunning contrasts. We also advise you to paint window sills and skirting boards in order to draw attention to them as well as make the bay look deeper.
Even if no outstanding architectural characteristics exist, a carefully designed strategy concerning painting and decorating may enhance most types of sitting rooms. What we do is focus on creating cohesive color schemes that match your furniture and add ambiance throughout your house.
What We Paint in Living Rooms
Walls and Ceilings
The feel of your living room can be dramatically changed by giving the walls and ceiling a fresh coat of paint. We commence with preparing the surfaces, filling in any holes or cracks, and sanding them to ensure a nice finish. For this reason, we use superior-quality emulsion paints that are applied with a base coat followed by two top coats ensuring equal coverage and durability.
Skirting Boards and Architraves
Skirting boards are often forgotten about but they help give you a finished look. Skirting boards should preferably have a gloss or satin finish which provides a durable surface that is easy to clean. We start by cleaning and sanding the boards thoroughly before painting then we apply primer before finishing it off with a top coat.
Fireplaces
A fireplace can serve as an outstanding focal point for your living room. Fresh paint on it whether it’s a traditional brick fireplace or modern gas insert will rejuvenate it. In the case of brick fireplaces, we suggest high-heat-resistant paint. Semi-gloss may also add an extra appeal to wooden mantels which improves its natural beauty whilst providing protection.
Panelling
Wall panelling adds texture and character to a room. To achieve this we could either paint your panelling in the same color as the walls for a seamless look or choose contrasting colors for dramatic effect. In preparation, all panels need to be cleaned, sanded, and primed prior to application of final coats.
Coving and Cornices
Coving and cornices portray elegance in any room especially when framing the ceiling perfectly well. When making these features stand out; we use lighter shades than those on walls or similar colors when having subtle effects on them too. Soft sheen or eggshell finishes are good examples of tough easy-to-clean paints recommended here.
Picture Rails and Dado Rails
Picture rails and dado rails act as traditional architectural features that break up large expanses of wall space thereby adding interest. Highlighting these parts can be done by painting them in a contrasting color but matching colors make it look less conspicuous. We do this by carefully preparing and painting these rails for a crisp, clean finish.
