Artistic Approaches to Commercial Space Painting

Warm hues such as red or orange often work well in restaurants to create an inviting atmosphere.

Painting commercial spaces is one tactic that businesses use to improve visual appeal. However, it requires a careful approach to strike a balance between a welcoming and a professional atmosphere.

Here are some artistic approaches that commercial property owners can utilize when painting:

Take time to choose the color palette

The painting process begins by choosing a color palette. Of course, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Each space serves different needs and will work well with a unique color scheme. Therefore, commercial property owners should consider the mood they want to create when creating the color palette.

Warm hues such as red or orange often work well in restaurants to create an inviting atmosphere. On the other hand, neutral or cool hues like blue and green are better suited for offices to create a calm work environment.

Consider using accent walls

Accent walls are versatile design elements. They allow commercial property owners to use multiple colors without overwhelming the space.

If the colors on the wall are dull, commercial property owners can use pops of color to brighten the space. Conversely, deep shades on accent walls can help create a balanced, cozy look if the wall colors are bright.

Moreover, the endless color choices help draw attention to specific areas.

Create depth with textured painting

Textured painting adds depth to commercial spaces by creating a three-dimensional effect. This makes the space more engaging compared to smooth surfaces. The best part about textured painting is its various decorative finishes, including stone, marble, wood, and bricks.

Also, commercial property owners can use varying levels of texture to create their desired mood. In older buildings where the walls have cracks, holes, and other imperfections, textured paint can help to conceal them.

Use metallic finishes

Shiny metal finishes add style, elegance, and a modern look to a commercial space. The metallic finishes, including silver, gold, bronze, and copper, match any hue.

Better still, there are different methods of applying metallic finishes, such as solid coats, textured effects, and decorative patterns. Typically, metallic finishes fit best on doors, ceilings, pillars and columns, and accent walls.

Test color in different lighting

Paint changes appearance in different lighting conditions. Usually, natural light is best for showcasing the paint’s true color. However, most commercial setups mix both artificial and natural light. As such, testing the paint color under different environments is important.

This will help maintain a consistent look and create a comfortable and welcoming space for clients and employees. Commercial property owners should also invest in lighting systems that blend well with the paint colors.

Make commercial spaces stand out with paint

Paint comes in different colors and textures, giving commercial property owners various options. However, choosing commercial paint that matches the business needs can be challenging. Therefore, commercial property owners should always consult an expert for the best advice.
