Does your home’s interior feel dull, lifeless and outdated? You don’t have to invest in a full home remodel or a new set of furniture – you can refresh your space with a new coat of paint. You may be surprised at just how much of an impact internal house painting can have.
Having your interior walls painted is a straightforward yet deeply impactful process, brightening up and transforming any of your rooms with a new colour.
You might wonder, “How exactly can new wall colours change my space?” Here are just a few reasons why internal house painting could be right for you:
Enhancing your Home’s Character. Many of us take pride in how our homes look, so you may not be happy with a space that looks generic or lifeless – especially if you plan on living in your home for many more years. Choosing a unique, beautiful new colour for your walls can make your home more ‘you.’ You could choose a lovely colour that suits your personal style, or one that fits your favourite decor and furniture pieces.
Beautiful walls will make your space more memorable, adding a certain ‘wow’ factor.
Improving The General Appeal Of Your Home Before A Sale. What if you’re making changes to make your property more appealing for buyers? In this case, painted walls can make your home look fresher, better maintained and more appealing to the general public.
If you’re going for a look that’s more universally beloved, then consider neutral colours. This is because neutral colours like black, white, grey and beige go with everything, and are therefore more likely to appeal to more people. Even if neutral colours don’t suit your personal style, they’re the best way to go when making your home universally appealing.
Changing The Mood Of A Room. Did you know that different colours are associated with different emotions? Using colour psychology, you can change the vibe of a room and influence the emotions of whoever uses it. For example, blue is associated with tranquillity, red is seen as energetic, yellow is regarded as a happy colour and green is connected to nature and harmony.
Think about the mood you want for each of your rooms and select a colour or colour scheme that suits that desired mood. Because blue is calm and peaceful, different shades of blue are often used for bedrooms and bathrooms.
Brightening Up Rooms Or Making Rooms Feel More Intimate. Along with affecting mood, different shades can make spaces feel more welcoming or more intimate. White and lighter shades of colours make rooms feel larger, more spacious and more welcoming. Conversely, black or darker colours can make spaces feel smaller, more compact and more intimate.
Combine this method of perception alteration with colour psychology to truly impact your rooms. For example, let’s say you want to paint a child’s room in a way that encourages positivity and openness while making the room feel larger. In this case, choose a lighter shade of yellow, like pastel yellow. The lovely yellow hue encourages positivity and happiness, whereas the light shade will brighten up the space.
Modernising Outdated Interiors By Choosing Trendy Colour Schemes. You might want to follow a current 2025 trend by choosing colours that are popular in New Zealand this year. Look through magazines and online sources to view trending interior design palettes and then compare them to the current look of your home’s interior.
What would you like to change? How can you use internal house painting services to bring your home into 2025?
Refreshing Worn Surfaces And Covering Defects. If your walls haven’t been painted in a while, then there could be signs of wear and tear. Scuff marks, stains, scratches and other kinds of marks can be difficult to clean, and they could have a negative impact on your interior design.
Internal house painting services can cover up these superficial marks with a fresh coat of paint. Older walls can look brand new with a cleaner, more polished appearance. Your painting pros can also surface prep your walls to take care of uneven areas.
Highlighting Architectural Features. Are there any details in your home that you’d like to draw attention to? Mouldings, window frames, alcoves and more can be painted in different colours to highlight them and make your interior design more interesting.
You could also choose to paint walls multiple colours, such as having two-tone walls or choosing one wall to be a different colour so that you can turn it into a gallery wall.
A simple change of colour can do so much for your Auckland home’s appearance, mood and value. What kind of colour schemes are you thinking of? We at Qualified Painters are here and eager to bring your vision to life.
