How to paint a bedroom with two different colored paints

Using more than one color to paint a bedroom is a very popular design trend. The traditional way is to paint the walls of a primary color and the doorways and windows of another color or a bright white.

Currently, there are two trends: one is to emphasize a wall and paint it a bright color and the other is to divide the wall with a chair rail and paint the two sides in different colors. The process includes the selection of colors, know when to emphasize a wall or when placing a chair rails, and how to paint the bedroom.

Know your personal style looking at design magazines, websites and bedroom painting for inspiration. Even look at your wardrobe, or your accessories, it can inspire you and give you a good start. Decide how you want to use color.

Want a color that attracts attention? A color that gives the feeling of warmth? Or a color corrects the imperfections of the room? Also note how "acting" different colors. For example, the red tends to make objects appear closer, therefore, is the perfect way to make a rectangular room look more like a square.

If you want that attention is directed toward a specific area of ​​the room or want to correct imperfections, you should consider emphasizing a wall. These walls generally have two or three tones unless the rest of the walls of the room. Its location is very important and work much better when the focus of the room.

Finally, do not use these colors for upholstered walls, otherwise they will lose focus. If you just want to call attention space, you can install a chair rail. Usually these are placed at 32 inches (81.28 cm) from the ground. Painting the top of a primary color and the lower part of a secondary color.

To use your personal style preferences and purpose of the color in the room, consider using one of the three typical color schemes to choose colors. The monochromatic color scheme consists of different shades of the same color. The analogous color scheme focuses on two colors that are next to each other on the color circle.

You might want to vary the shades (pale green and blue with a light gray each is a good example) so that the color gives a feeling of freshness and timeliness. The complementary color scheme is to choose two colors that are opposite on the color circle.

Once you have chosen the color, select the type of paint and glitter. Latex paint is recommended for the bedroom more than oil painting because it dries faster. Also, note the brightness.

A high gloss paint is much better for door frames and moldings to the ceilings for bedroom walls. The matte shades are cheap but can be difficult to clean. Semi gloss paints are easy to clean and reflect light moderately.

Measure the length of the longest and the shortest wall, as well as the height at which the roof is located. Subtract the doors and windows. A gallon (3.78 liters) of paint usually covers 400 square feet (37.16 square meters) of wall with one coat of paint

You will probably need more than one coat of paint for the walls and a base coat. For the ceiling, you should just measure the length and width of the room.

Once you've bought the paint, base and tools, prepare the room covering carpets, furniture and other objects with the covers. Use painter's tape to protect areas that should not be painted with the color you want to use first.

Clean the walls, and then paint with the base. Finally, with the color painting from top to bottom. Paint the ceiling and upper walls first, and then paints down. With respect to the walls where you want to emphasize, then paint them to paint the other walls.
