Some parts of a home can be tricky to paint, and not because they are hard to reach. Deciding which color to use in an archway is an example. Often, the two rooms joined by the archway are painted different colors. Professional painting contractors in Woodstock, VT, follow the instructions given by their customers, although they may provide suggestions. If the customers cannot make a decision, the painters use a color they believe is most suitable.
The Same Color as One Room
One possibility is for the house painter to use the same color as one room has. These two areas then blend together. Often, residential foot traffic tends to flow more in one direction than another. People might typically walk from the kitchen into the living room, for instance, and then leave the living room by a hallway. The arch then would be painted the same color as the living room, psychologically inviting everyone to head in that direction.
Accent Colors
An arch also can be painted as an accent between rooms painted neutral colors. Painting contractors in Woodstock, VT, are likely to recommend also painting the two walls on either side of the arch that same accent color. At least one wall typically should be painted the accent color for the best aesthetic effects.
Blended Shades
A house painter also can paint the arch in more than one shade of a color. Commonly, these shades blend together almost seamlessly with the use of a skilled painting technique.
