Brighten Up with Paint This Spring
(NC)—With the recent introduction of the temporary home renovation tax credit in the Federal Budget, more Canadian families may be looking to take on home improvement projects in 2009.
A fresh coat of paint is an easy and affordable way to update a room and give it a fresh look. With the added government incentives, adding a splash of cheery colour to your home décor is a great option for spring 2009.
For those who find choosing a colour palette daunting, designer Debbie Travis has categorized her top colour picks for spring into four ‘moods:’
• Dramatic – cool and fresh with high contrast and rich colour. The dark, architectural grays are freshened with crisp whites and saturated colours.
• Cheerful – this playful, summery palette alludes to a tropical oasis, well paired with tropical flowers and simple graphic stripes. The white provides a clean background for a playful, high energy and optimistic combination.
• Nostalgic – distinctive blues create timeless, casual elegance. A tribute to traditional craftsmanship with shades of natural linens, traditional blues and transitional greens.
• Calm – inspired by nature, the mood is soft and organic. The palette is a combination of warm fresh tones and smoky neutrals.
Whether looking for something subtle or something bold, each of the ‘moods’ offers four distinct colours that work well together or on their own. Visit Canadian Tire to see more great paint colours.
