5 Reasons why a fresh coat of lounge room paint might be the go for Summer 2020

Summer 2020, has a nice ring to it. Sounds like the perfect time to add a fresh coat of paint to your lounge room! We know you have been going back and forth with the idea, perhaps alternating between the lounge room and the ensuite? 

Well what better time to refresh one of the busiest rooms in the house than the beginning of a new decade! If not now, when? Let’s face it, it’s Summer 2020 or never when it comes to finallyyy add a fresh coat of paint to your tired old living room. 

Spend the rest of the year admiring your workmanship, showing off to your friends and feeling truly relaxed in your bright new space. It truly does make all the difference, this is your lounge room after all! 

The place where you will spend many an evening talking with loved ones, opening gifts on Christmas morning and settling in for a movie marathon after a long week. 

You spend a lot of time in your Lounge Room

While you may be stuck deciding which room of the house deserves a fresh coat of paint in time for Summer 2020, we say opt for the lounge room! A space you spend a heck of a lot of time in! 

The room you will entertain guests in, celebrate key events and dates, host family game nights, re-watch episode after episode of Game of Thrones and whatever else you tend to do in the largest room in the house! 

This space is CRYING for the refresh that comes from a coat of paint. Brighten up the space, cool it down or simply modernise your outdated wallpaper. You will not regret it. 

Interior Design is the New Trend for 2020

Do you want to be left behind in the 21st century’s teenage years or are you ready to embark on the interior design trends that come with the 20s?! 

As with any new decade, there comes a spring cleaning kind of period in which the old is thrown out to make way for the new trends that prove better than ever. 

And how easy is a fresh coat of paint in ONE room when it comes to staying relevant? 

Options for New Lounge Room Paint Colour

There are so so so many options when it comes to choosing your lounge room’s new paint colour! 

Cream

Cream is always a popular, timeless option as it provides warmth and moulds well with any colour furniture you may already have. 

Soft Blush Pink

A soft blush pink seems to be growing in popularity, adding a sophisticated touch of femininity to your space. 

Horizontal Paint Stripes

We predict horizontal paint stripes will be big in 2020, modernising any lounge room in an instant! 

Bright Bold Green

While a bright bold coat of green paint may be too intimidating for most, a bold accent (AKA a touch of paint) may be the way to go. Whether that is achieved through a feature wall, a small design or a coloured built in shelf. The options are limitless. 

Black

Black paint has been lying off the shelves. This daring colour scheme can drag your lounge room forward in time, pairing well with brightly coloured furniture (just make sure the paint is definitely dry first!). 

Shades of Blue

We adore shades of blue for the lounge room, giving off a calm ambiance and soft energy. Whether your aiming for a beach theme or simply a fan of blue, you really can’t go wrong when you paint this colour.

The best roof paint colors to reduce the Summer heat

As Australians we are no strangers to the heat, particularly in the warmest months of Summer. However, we have become experts in cooling the home down. That means expert air conditioning systems, ice cold tiles and as of late smart roof paint that detracts the sunlight! 

So are you ready to make a cool change in time for next summer? Well we have the some handy recommendations and the best roof paint colours to reduce the summer heat!

Understanding Roof Colours

Typically, dark colours will attract and absorb heat faster. So as a general rule at service.com.au we always recommend avoiding dark coloured roof paint! Utilising a lighter roof paint colour can actually save you money as you will be less inclined to rely on air conditioning to cool your home.

Heat reflective roof paint is a fantastic option for our hot and sunny climate, providing constant coolness and a range of colours to choose from. This option can reflect up to 90% of the sun’s rays (wow) and subsequently keeps rooms at a much lower temperature. 

Reducing Electricity Cooling Costs

As touched on, it also reduces cooling costs, by approximately 20 degrees! So you can really see how you will save money on your energy bill when you do not need to crank the air conditioning and put the fans on max.

For our greenies, it actually lowers your carbon footprint! Reflective paint comes at no cost to the environment and through using less energy helps minimise your personal effect on the environment (win-win if you ask us!).

Reflective paint MASSIVELY helps your home’s insulation and is much more effective than other kinds of paint, especially if you opt for lighter colours.

What Colours will Cool your Home

Let’s talk specific colours! As brushed on throughout this article, the lighter your colour the better likelihood of a cool home. Definitely avoid dark colours like black, red, navy, dark brown and so forth. 

The optimal colour is white, assuring the coolest temperature and insulation for your home. The next best thing? Well, just about anything cool toned or light! 

Creams, beiges and light greys are a good option! White can be a little boring for some and a variation of cream, beige or light grey can be a popular option in adding a bit more style whilst maintaining the coolness you desire. 

Lemon and pastels. Lemon painted rooftops are expected to be trending in 2020 and this popular colour is on the cooler side of things, so a safe bet! Pastels are a favourite of ours, helping your home stand out from the rest and still avoiding absorption of that hot Aussie sun. 

A sweet sky blue, light green or lilac can also be sufficient in minimising heat from the sun but as mentioned the BEST possible option is white or as near to white as you can get. 

If you do want to stray from this recommendation and paint a slightly darker shade then definitely opt for the specific reflective paint to ensure your home does not become a sauna! 

We bet you did not realise just how much consideration can go into your roof’s paint colour, but when you are sweating through the warmest months of Summer you will truly appreciate the comfort of walking into a nice and cool home. Save money on energy bills and get it right the first time by following this guide on the best roof paint colours for Summer!
