Most Common Paint Colour Mistakes You Should Avoid!

When decorating your interior & exterior house with painting colours, a few missteps can significantly impact the overall ambience and aesthetic. To help you navigate the world of interior design, here are some of the most common house painting colour mistakes along with some pro painting tips -


1. Not Considering Light -

Failing to account for natural and artificial lighting can lead to colours appearing vastly different than expected. Always test paint samples under various lighting conditions before making your final choice.


2. Mixing Too Many Colours in Wrong Balance -

Overloading a room with too many colours can create chaos. Opt for a balanced colour scheme with a primary colour and a few complementary hues for harmony. Check out the tips on choosing the right paint colour for your home!


3. Being Too Matchy-Matchy with your Colour Palette - 

While cohesion is essential, an overly uniform colour scheme can be dull. Introduce subtle variations in shades and tones to add depth and interest.


4. Not Creating a Cohesive Home - 

Each room should connect visually with the rest of your home. Consider the overall flow of colours when decorating different spaces.


5. Not Giving the Visual Rest - 

A room with too much visual clutter can be overwhelming. Use neutral or calming colours in some areas to provide eye balance and respite.


6. Playing it too Safe - 

While neutrals have their place, don't be afraid to experiment with bolder hues. A pop of colour can inject life and personality into a space.


7. Using the Wrong Finish/Sheen - 

The finish you choose matters. Matte finishes can hide imperfections, while glossy finishes can be challenging to maintain. Select the appropriate finish for your room's purpose.


8. Not Applying it Properly -

Rushing through the painting process can result in uneven coverage and streaks. Take your time and follow proper painting techniques for a flawless finish.


9. Going Too Bright/Harsh - Vibrant, intense colours can be striking, but excessive use can make a room feel harsh. Balance bold colours with softer tones or use them as accents.


10. Not considering how you want the room to feel - Colors evoke emotions. Think about the atmosphere you want to create in each room and choose colours that align with those feelings.


By avoiding these common colour mistakes, you can create a home that's visually appealing and reflects your unique style and personality. Take your time, plan thoughtfully, and let your creativity shine through in your colour choices. Explore the wide range of house painting colours with the Nippon paint colour catalogue.
