Set Sail This Summer with Nautical Paint Hues Crisp blues, bright whites, and bold reds help signify that summer is just around the corner. There is no better way to celebrate its arrival than to create a sea-faring environment in your living space. “Through the simple use of paint hues, a single room or your entire home can become a harbor for family and friends,” Debbie Zimmer, expert with Hollander Home Fashions’ Council on Comfort and paint and color expert with the Rohm and Haas Paint Quality Institute (PQI) says. “Incorporate these easy paint ideas and treat your family to a day at the beach without ever leaving the driveway.” Nautical - Traditional navy blue coupled with crisp white evokes a living space reminiscent of a beach vacation. Use blue and white paint, wide nautical stripes and finish with a band of red around the ceiling. Update furniture with a new coat of white paint and decorate with seashells and sailboats. Out to Sea Colors - Create a soothing ocean getaway in your bedroom or bath by incorporating sandy tans, sea glass greens and aqua blues. For a child’s room, use beach towels and surfboards as summer color inspiration. Not ready for an entire room makeover? Transform a foyer into a welcoming reception area by simply painting an accent wall in a hot weather hue complementary to your current color scheme. Sunny yellow, lime green or crisp blue are the perfect paint colors to create a vacation entranceway.
“Through the simple use of breezy summer-like hues, your living space may just become your favorite vacation location,” Zimmer says. For more information on quality paints and paint color, visit www.paintquality.com.
