Ideas for Painting Walls

Here you are then, standing in your new house! Its a bit of a mess though because the vendor was in a rush to sell and had been in the middle of renovating. Still, you don't really mind that though, since it gives you the ideal chance to do your new house up just the way you want it.

But now you need to decide where everything goes and what colours will suit your rooms, but you still don't have any wall painting ideas.

So, you eagerly look through your new keys and wander through your new house. The minute you step in through a door ideas hit you. That huge urn you bought a year ago would look fantastic in the corner, and you're pretty sure that your existing sofa set will fit in this other room. And you know the antique mirror table would look stunning in the hallway. The only thing you really get stuck on though are wall painting ideas.

You definitely don't want to just splash on a few coats of neutral coloured paint and be done with it. What you want is a masterpiece, something that you can look on with pride every time you see it. And, naturally, you should be able to keep looking at it with pleasure for quite some time to come as well, so it shouldn't be too domineering.

But where do you get decent wall painting ideas from, and how can you go about getting the wall painting actually done? There are a few ways that you could go about this, the easiest of which being if you have an artistic flair, so that you could get your wall painting ideas off the cuff, so to speak and paint the walls as you like. Unfortunately, most of us aren't very artistic and we are hesitant to pick up a brush or roller and apply the first coat of paint without supervision. In this case then, you will need some help.

You could start off by hiring a professional decorator to help you decide what would look good or you could sit down and watch some DIY programs on the TV, where they show some pretty good ideas on what to do when decorating a house and will even give you some great wall painting ideas.

If neither of these options is suitable for you, you might just try going down to your local DIY shop with fabric swatches and colour sheets of your most prominent pieces of furniture and seek their assistance on stylish wall decorating ideas.

You may come up with a hodge-podge of wall painting ideas with this last suggestion, but I found that it was the one that worked best for me and now I'm very proud of my slightly quirky house. It reflects who I am just perfectly.
