Fairy tales have their own special place in our lives; whether Cindrella’s glass sandals or Goldilock’s innocence the characters and stories are with us forever. With the changing times fairy tales have made way in our homes too, thanks to the wide array of techniques and paints that have made this possible. It isn’t that difficult to make this happen now, with colours and patterns inspired by fairy tales one can create wonders.

Colour combinations: All you need to do is first choose a fairytale or its character that you wish to replicate within a room. Once you are sure which one it is, you can start hunting for colour combinations inspired by the same. Your choice can be as vibrant as the house of chocolate in Hansel and Gretel or a pink room with pumpkin chariot reminding of Cindrella or even use of lavender and golden colour wall paints for a Rapunzel inspired room. Nothing is difficult if you can stretch your imagination and bring out your love for those evergreen stories you cherished hearing as a kid. Having a balance of colours in the room is essential, too many dark or light hues together may not work perfectly; for every dark colour you pick also search for a complementing light colour for the same. You can refer to a colour chart for more ideas.

Paint finishes: The paint finish you choose will play an important role in bringing out the desired effects. There are varieties of paint finishes you can choose from; right from eggshell to matte, gloss and even flat finish. If you want to give your fairytale inspired room a subtle appeal then a matte finish will let you do it. On the other hand if you want your room to look like a created scene, you can make it look lively with gloss paint. Home painting today is not just about splashing paint over the walls. There is a lot more; one would want the walls to be well protected from dust and bacteria, paint to stay on the walls for long, crack-free walls etc. To make sure home walls stay like this for long, it is essential to give proper attention to the paint, paint finish and even the choice of home paint contractor.

Quality paints: If you want to make sure your favorite characters look real and brighten up the room as you had wished then the first rule is to make use of good quality paint. Good quality paint may cost high but in the long run will prove worth it. You will not want your newly done home painting job to look like an ordinary one and when you are doing theme based painting, you need to be extra cautious. Hence it is also wise to use quality painting tools and products.
