Contemporary paint brand ‘Painthouse’ is one of our favourites.

Not only do their paints come in a glorious rainbow of colours, they’re also water based, quick drying and practically VOC free.

Painthouse are also great believers in the positive effect of picking up a paintbrush and at a time when many of us are at home all day, every day, they’re keen to remind us that a fresh coat of paint, a splash of colour or a dramatic new interior scheme can work wonders for the spirit and the soul… and we couldn’t agree more.

Perhaps it’s your kitchen decor that could do with a touch up now that you’re spending so much time in there creating culinary masterpieces?

Maybe self isolation is making you think you’d like your bedroom paint colour to be a shade more relaxing? Or now that you’re working from home, perhaps your spare bedroom needs to become an office? Having a painting project to get your teeth into could be a welcome distraction and a simple step to a sense of achievement… not to mention that fact that painting is known to be thoroughly therapeutic, to reduce stress and promote better sleep.

Painthouse have some excellent tips on ways you can use colour in your home to help lift your mood.

Their Spring colour paint collection draws inspiration from nature and includes shades like daffodil yellow, sky blue, lilac and peach. Bright and lively, incorporating them into your colour scheme is sure to spark positivity.  Calming greens are ideal if you’re looking to create a space that’s relaxing and peaceful. Fresh blues are great to inspire creative thinking and yellow can be invigorating and upbeat, even on the dingiest days. There’s a free guide available now from Painthouse called ‘Colour your Mind & Home’ and you can order it from the Painthouse website.

Even if you’re not up for a full-on room makeover, adding a brightly painted or contrasting feature wall, painting doors and skirting boards, or revamping furniture, picture frames or accessories can brighten up a room (and really brighten your day).

And if the lockdown has unleashed an inner Nigella or Jamie and your kitchen needs more than a lick of paint to get it how you’d like it, Blackbrook Kitchens can help. We’re only a phone call away and are available for FREE, no obligation online consultations via Facebook, Zoom or Skype  - so you can take the opportunity to plan the perfect kitchen, all ready to implement once things are back on track again.
