Learn more about painting walls
When it comes to transforming your home, colour choice is crucial. A shade can affect everything from the room's atmosphere to how big it feels. At Klint, we have carefully curated a palette of colours that are not only beautiful, but also durable and of high quality. Let us take you on a journey through our most beloved colour families.
Painting walls
Repainting at home is not just a process of changing the colour of the walls; it's a transformation of the room's soul and atmosphere. When we choose a new shade, we play with optical illusions. Light colours, like pastels or neutral tones, can give the room a sense of space and airiness. On the other hand, bold, dark colours can create an intimate, cozy feeling, especially in large spaces.
Beyond the room's dimensions, colour has the power to affect our mood. A calming blue can envelop us in a sense of relaxation, while a lively yellow can fill the room with energy and joy.
The psychological effect of colour also extends to the function of our spaces. A workspace in calming green can become a sanctuary for concentration, while a children's room in bright tones can become a place for play and creativity.
Colour choice can also be an extension of the home's character. Earthy tones can highlight a rustic interior, while a monochromatic palette can give a streamlined, modern feel. So, when you choose a colour, think about how the shade will affect the entire space. A thoughtful choice can transform and elevate your entire interior.
Step by step: How to paint a wall
Preparations:
Before you start painting, it's important to prepare the surface properly. This means removing or covering furniture and washing the walls with a mild soap solution to remove any dirt or grease. If there are uneven surfaces, holes, or cracks, fill them with spackle and sand the surface until it's smooth. To protect moldings, window frames, and other surfaces you don't want to get paint on, use masking tape.
Choose the right tools:
When it comes to tools, choosing the right brush and roller is crucial. A narrow brush is best for edges and corners, while a roller is ideal for larger surfaces.
Primer:
If you are painting over a dark colour with a lighter shade, or if the wall is uneven, start with a primer coat. This provides a smooth base and can help the final paint adhere better.
Painting:
When you start painting, begin with the edges using the brush. Then use the roller for the larger areas, and remember to apply even pressure to avoid drips. Let the first coat dry completely before considering applying a second coat. Drying time can vary depending on the paint type.
Leave the bag in the packaging recycling:
Our paint comes in a resealable bag that is easy to use and pour out. When the bag is empty, it can be placed directly in the packaging recycling.
Conclusion:
Once everything is done and the paint has dried, carefully remove the masking tape and restore the room by moving the furniture back.
Good job!
Blue walls
