Rust-Oleum AMZ0026 Chalky Finish Furniture Paint - Duck Egg - 750ml

Product Information

There are a number of elements to consider when looking into wall and ceiling paints: 1. How big is the space? Most paint tins will bear instructions on them informing the user of how much paint will cover a certain area of wall. Remember, the majority of paints require two coats, but the guidelines will usually take this into account.

Perfect for upcycling old furniture into your new favourite piece! Revive chairs, restore wardrobes or revamp an old chest of drawers with a smooth chalky matt finish in just one coat. No priming or sanding necessary beforehand. Complementary colours create a high contrast, allowing both colours to boldly stand out and work well together. When you want a key feature to stand out, use complementary colours of your choosing. Alternatively, you can play with tints and shades. For example, use a lighter tint of blue (think pastel blue) contrasted with a darker orange (such as burnt amber). Split complements Blue and orange work well together in a range of domestic and commercial spaces. If you’re looking for the bold combination without the bright colours, then try a soft pastel blue with a punchy tangerine. Incorporate these two paint colours into your white space through painted furniture for a balanced, stylish finish.For a distressed finish; Apply 2 coats of the same or contrasting coloured or metallic paint, allow 4 hours between coats. Lightly sand to distress edges and reveal layers. When it comes to the style of your home, the typical guidelines state that for traditional cottage or farmhouse type properties, natural and neutral colours often work best. Off-whites and creams look great on rustic walls and against natural wood, and soft greens, rust-colours and subtle browns and caramels work beautifully for highlights and touches of colour. It’s a phrase that’s a few years past the height of fashion, but lots of home decorators are still going for that artfully distressed look. The way to achieve this aesthetic with furniture is to apply two layers of paint of different colours, then to gently set to work with fine-grain sandpaper. With this in mind, you might want to look for paint with a faster drying time. What about colours? Dos: The reception rooms in your home usually offer more varied options, though the shade you choose should still complement the size and style of the space. If your furniture or décor is particularly ornate or bold, choosing softer, lighter colours for the walls is always the best idea. Warm colours or accents are also recommended here, or, if you’re considering blues, greys and other cold colours, try to contrast them with something a little warmer to take the edge off. If you’re looking for a colour with a traditional history then Celestial Blue is a great choice. Little Greene chose the name for the shade from a colour card they found from the early 1800s – so it’s a shade that has been used for a large number of years.

More than one colour in a single room can look great, but don’t go overboard. Keep it to three colours maximum. If you choose two bold colours, the third should be something neutral to give your eyes a break. Pure whites, soft greys, neutral colours and metallics work very well for minimalist homes, as the focal points will be the craftsmanship of the property and the layout of the furnishings rather than any luxurious décor - bright colours are likely to prove distracting if you opt for minimalism. 3. What else will be on the surfaces you’re planning to paint? The soft and gentle orangey-pink hue of the peach pairs well with a striking turquoise blue. The mixture of cool and warm tones adds major contrast, while complementing each other nicely. Although it sounds basic in theory, there are many colours in the spectrum that can tip the scales. Green and purple can be considered transition colours. This is because they can both be warm or cool, depending on their balance. Try to make sure that there is a basic colour scheme running through your home that complements its style and furnishings. Aim for no more than three main colours throughout if you want a truly cohesive look. If rooms are semi-open plan, be sure that there are no clashes between the colours in each space as one will often be visible from the other. 5. Are you planning to keep any existing features, fittings or furniture?

The flat Matte option is perfect for bedrooms and living rooms, while the soft sheen is best for kitchens and bathrooms. It’s also available in eggshell, and exterior paint.
