Bedroom Painting ideas for your Calgary residence. I have one word for you; "green."  There are two points that you need to think about when painting your bedroom walls with a modern green paint color palette. 1) What shade of green paint do you desire for your walls, and 2) How much green is too much green? The green bedroom designs below will assist you to remodel any space you choose in your Calgary home.

1. What Shade of Green should I use?
Dark green Paint produces a further intimate, romantic, and luxury sensation in the bedroom – just like the bedroom shown the picture below.  In the other picture,  you can see the lighter green colors.

The bright green shown in the picture above, mixed with the wainscoting is ideal for current modern homes. Now, let's talk about really light green shades, like the mint green bedroom in the image on the right, which will produce a bright and roomy feeling.

Applying Texture - You might wonder what makes the dark green bedroom in the picture look so great, is that the paint itself has a detailed texture to it. This produces some depth to the walls. This can be done merely by utilizing a sponge and two different shades of paint. 

2. Too much Green?
If you only desire just a bit of green and want to dodge repainting the whole room, then work with white walls and decorate the area with green furniture, green linens, or in general green bedroom decoration.  

The bedroom shown in the image above is an excellent example of this. If you work with white walls, you could quickly change the sheets to a different color, may be blue or grey to provide the space with a complete color palette makeover.

On the other hand, you have the space in the picture on the right picture, with every wall painted green, even the ceiling is painted and green. But it is the big window that brings in the sunlight, and the application of white bed materials that help make the space not to be a dark and gloomy area.

​A solid middle ground is to paint a feature wall green. This wall will be the one that stands out in the room, while the rest of the walls are painted in a more neutral color, may be white, grey, or black. In the bedroom, this feature wall is usually the wall behind the headboard.

We know: It’s only September. Thinking forward to 2019 seems like an unthinkable feat when we are trying to enjoy the very, very end of the summer, but for anyone in Calgary planning a large-scale renovation or a move to a new house in the new year, getting ahead of the color trends for the upcoming year is critical. And it appears like the first trend of the 2019 Color of the Year is formally here.

The color in question, you ask? Night Watch, a thick, vibrant shade of green hand-selected by PPG’s team of global color experts. After examining the lifestyle, runway, geographic, demographic, and global trends from 2018, the experts concluded that the theme was a desire to be more intimately connected to nature.

If, right now, you are thinking that the closest you are personally engaged in getting to nature is the salad bar at the buffet, know that the decision is more about what nature represents. According to PPG’s senior color marketing manager, the calm and resiliency that nature signifies were the main reason for adopting Night Watch.

The necessity to reconnect with nature is driven by today’s turbulent, somewhat rebellious, but always connected society. This was a recurring issue that the experts from around the world encountered during this year’s Global Color Workshop. For example, space in our lives such as downtime waiting for a cab or pauses in conversations manages to be filled with the use of our phones. Being surrounded by Night Watch can provide some of that space back by drawing our memories of natural environments to the outside to achieve the calming, invigorating euphoria we feel when in nature.  

A runner-up to Night Watch was Golden Field, an equivalently rich mustard yellow color, implying that jewel shades will be prominent in 2019. Night Watch, a more easily versatile tone for homeowners in Calgary, was finally chosen for its versatility and more detailed representation of the zeitgeist—although, it is only one of 200 colors in the PPG 2019 Global Color Trends Forecast.

Talking about versatility, one of the exceptional things about having a solid, reasonably uncontroversial color like this to decorate your Calgary home is that the opportunities are limitless. Go big with a jaw-dropping paint shade like Night Watch on the walls of your residence, or maybe try an accent wall. Offset lighter wooden accents with the extensive shade for something more informal, or bring in gold and brass accents to counter the jewel color for something that screams opulence.  

All of you, Calgary Homeowners out there, If you are looking to cover a full space in color, it can be a good idea to help establish niche spaces in homes by providing the significant space attention. And if this color seems familiar to you, it should: Pantone famously chose Greenery, a lighter color for the 2017 Color of the Year. Just like Night Watch, Greenery was picked for its refreshing and revitalizing features, suggesting that possibly not much has changed in the cultural climate in at least a couple of years.

​Conclusion: To us at Gio's Painting Ltd, Night Watch signifies this distraction-free, euphoric feeling that you appear to only find in nature today. Here in Calgary, Alberta, we have the beautiful Canadian Rockies just around the corner so when I go hiking with my family, and we pass others along the paths in the woods, we can’t help but notice how engaged, and happy everyone is. I love how nature is one of the main influences tied to color trends for 2019 .

Keeping on top of the latest Painting trends and recommendations is a must when dealing with customers in the Calgary area.

Gio's Painting's expert and owner Giovanni Morales explains how to get the best value for your money.

Painting the exterior or interior of your commercial property in Calgary can refresh its appearance, but the task can turn out to be more difficult than you anticipated. That’s why it’s essential to pick a qualified contractor to get the job done the first time.

A good and quality Painting job is the most cost-effective way of maintenance for any property in that it can renew and alter the space for the least amount of money.

If you are interested in attracting and retaining renters, a good paint job may be the best way to go. Giovanni, who has more than 30 years of experience as a Painting Contractor in the whole Calgary area, recommends doing a new paint job every five years, this, he says, can go a very long way in keeping client satisfaction and convincing residents to stay for a more extended period.

A designer colour switch, meaning having a professional designer come in for a visit and recommend a particular colour to emphasize space, helps in the process of renewing a tenant’s contract. Of course, there is a fee associated with it, but believe me, it makes a big difference in the quality of the outcome.

When it comes to attracting new renters, remember that first impressions are essential, and a quality paint job is significant to your building’s first impression. Having quality work being performed for the project is crucial to establishing long-term relationships, says Giovanni.

A good quality paint job can alter how a resident feels about a particular room. Better than a resident moving to another place, sometimes you can modify the environment, so they have less motivation to look somewhere else. It seems to lift the spirit of the staff and the tenants. Painting is the lowest-cost reno that you can do, and it has the most significant value for your money

Always Protect and maintain your property and your residents! Keeping the health and safety of residents and workers must always a priority during every Painting jobs.  Giovanni mentions that almost all commercial paints utilized today meet all LEED standards, so they are safe to be used inside while people are present.

There are products that we use that do have a bad smell, but for the most, those are special products that you use after hours when no one is in the building. Most of our Painting jobs are done while people continue to perform their daily activities. It is vital for your Painting Contractor to work with your residents, coordinate the project and work professionally.

When painting exteriors, the products have to be specific for that purpose because they are specially created for exterior use. By using these products, you make sure the property remains structurally sound and free of moisture and leaks.

Reducing Costs
One way of reducing costs is trying to do as much painting while residents are present, this due to after-hours work always been more expensive.

For Exterior Painting projects, it is better to plan way ahead. Get quotes and reserve jobs early. Exterior painting in Calgary are one of the tasks with the highest demand, why? Because of the weather! Giovanni says with evident expertise that supply and demand are the KPI's on how high prices are dictated, so to avoid being caught into a high-costing job, get an estimation in the low season. Giovanni says a client can save up to 20% if booking during the low season.

Finally, picking the right method for products and knowing the proper preparation method for your exterior plan is essential to the durability of your painted facades, meaning decreased prices in the low run. Although this may not be the most economical choice up-front, it could save a customer from doing annual maintenance, which sums up over a small span of time. Picking the accurate method can improve the durability of painted exteriors by up to ten years!
