Choosing the perfect paint for your interior walls that accentuates your style can be a tricky task. Picking the wrong colour can be an expensive mistake, so why not let the experts help steer you in the right direction? Canberra Daily has teamed up with British Paints to create the ultimate style guide to help you choose your quintessential paint colour based on your personality type.
City chic: Love Note
A city apartment should feel light and bright and as the layouts can tend to sit on the smaller side, using a white shade can help make your home feel more spacious. If this is your style and vibe, Love Note is the paint for you. Using this hue will give you the freedom to furnish your home with colourful artwork, rugs, and fixtures without making the space feel too messy and cluttered.
Botanical babe: Infinity White
When your home is overflowing with botanical plants and vines, it’s best to stick with a neutral backdrop to accentuate all the tones within the gorgeous greenery. Infinity White is the ultimate hue to brighten your jungle abode without overwhelming the space with too much colour.
Retro hippie: Yellow Brick Road
For the flower child and lover of all things vintage, Yellow Brick Road brings a pop of colour into your world that would complement any 1970s style décor. The bright orange has a beautiful yellow undertone that gives off an ambience of sunflowers mixed with sweet honey and juicy apricots on a hot summer’s day.
Beach girl: White Disclosure
Blue and white are the ultimate colours to create a coastal feel, resembling sandy white beaches and blue ocean waves. To enhance your beachy vibe, pair White Disclosure with bright blue hues scattered across your space like vases, pillows, rugs, and wall hangings. Even try a big blue couch if you’re feeling bold!
Artsy cool: Red Ribbon
For the artistic creative, Red Ribbon is the ultimate warm-toned red that will transform your room into a funky and cool art studio, being the perfect inspiration to help you create. With undertones of maroon and purple, this eccentric colour feels like ruby red cherries, indulging in luxury velvet and the vast surface of mars.
Urban chill: Universal
Modern and contemporary styles are usually minimalist, clean, and fresh. If you gravitate towards the simple aesthetic, Universal is the perfect paint to complete your neutral and classically designed home. Neither too bright nor boring, with a twinge of elegant grey, this colour allows you the liberty to decorate as you please.
Modern femme: Coastal Sand
A pale pink as a colour base just screams the modern feminine. Still simple and classic, yet girly and sophisticated, Coastal Sand couldn’t be more perfect. Pair with hues of aqua and white and your space will feel like the epitome of a young 21st century woman’s digs. This colour gives off the aura of strawberry ice cream, rosy cheeks, and fluffy pink clouds.
