There will always come a time when you think about repainting the interior of your home or apartment.

Depending on your experience, you may find yourself worrying about proper painting techniques or whether you possess the skill to give your home a new look all on your own.

The great thing is, the more you explore various possibilities, the wider your options get in terms of colours and textures to fill your space.

There is a common interior painting myth that your room will end up looking smaller if you pick the wrong paint.

The reality is, no matter how small your room is, the colour you choose won’t have that much of an impact on the perception of size.

Not knowing it’s a myth, many people opt for deep saturated colours in an attempt to make a room look smaller than it really is.

A great designer tip that you can keep in mind is that painting some of the adjacent rooms the same colour can help to make the focus room appear a lot larger. The borders of the room will disappear and make it seem like a much larger space overall.

There are also a number of people worried about interior painting if they have a room that faces in a certain direction. While it used to be said that if you have a room that faces the West and you use warmer colours that it will make the room feel hot, it is now known that there are a lot more factors that contribute to the mood of a room.

Take into consideration any of the outside elements that may alter the colour once it is on the walls. For example, if you have brickwork outside the room, think of how the light may reflect off of the bricks and make the colour appear once painted.

There are a lot of things that you can take into consideration as you are getting ready to take on any sort of interior painting project. No matter what, you will see that it is important that you take your time to pick out colours that speak to you.

In the end, you will be happy that you stepped outside of your comfort zone and chose a bold colour for your space.
