3 tips to choosing the perfect room colour

With the endless choice of colours available it can be extremely overwhelming trying to select the perfect colour for your home and Glass Splashback. When planning your room it’s important to choose a colour that will work in harmony with your home and space.

Here are three tips that we like to use at Point Cook Glass to help you choose that perfect colour:

Set the mood. Choose how you want the room to feel. Room colour can influence our mood and our thoughts, so it is important to choose colour wisely. Choose a colour theme that works in harmony with how you want to feel in the room. Get curious and research colour therapy, for example the colour red raises a room’s energy level, yellow is uplifting and gives a sense of happiness,  blue’s and greens are relaxing and serene and purples are sophisticated.

Get colour inspiration.  Be patient and take time to find what you truly love. Make up an inspiration book and collect pictures from magazines, fabric and wallpaper swatches, flooring samples and paint chips.  If you see a look that you love, take a photo of it. Once you find something you like, limit the number of colours in a room to no more than three or four. Too many colours can make a room look busy or cluttered. Check out Pinterest! Point Cook Glass has a Pinterest page full of Glass Splashbacks including different boards for different colours!

Experiment. Even the most skilled designers have trouble selecting the perfect colour tone. To get it right you need to try out several different samples, make a mess of your walls until you get the perfect colour. Those little paint pots are relatively cheap, so you can afford to experiment a little.

Once you’ve decided on the colour you want -, we paint your Glass Splashback’s for you in our Paint Department on site at our Factory! If you have a colour that you love then find it on a paint swatch (Dulux, Taubmans etc.) and we will be more than happy to colour match your glass splashback for you.

And don’t worry – our qualified Glaziers bring out samples with them when they come out to measure up.

Designing your dream Kitchen

Over the years innovation and design has made it much easier and affordable to design our dream home. With the design of beautiful fittings and accessories, homes are looking more chic and beautiful than ever. However with the extensive range of options now available, it can become quite overwhelming when considering which options to use. Just like fashion, kitchens can date. You have the classic designs that last a lifetime and you have the trends that last only a couple of years. When designing your new kitchen you want to consider a look that will last at least 10 years.

A great way to preserve the look of your kitchen is to consider installing a Glass Splashback. Glass Splashbacks are a huge trend in both kitchens and bathrooms in homes all over Australia.  And the best thing about them is that they won’t be out of fashion and have to be replaced down the track in a few year’s time.

You might wonder why you should use Glass Splashbacks in your kitchen where years ago tiling was the  traditional fixing.  Firstly Glass Splashbacks are easier to clean and unlike tiles there are no cracks and spaces for mould and bacteria to live. And secondly the problem with tiles is that they can often crack and may fade and look worn out over the years.  If a tile breaks it is not an easy job to replace it, particularly if the tiles have been there for many years, for you may not be able to match the tile. Glass Splashback’s are made out of toughened glass and are made to last!

Glass splashbacks will give a whole new dimension and look to your home. Because they’re reflection – they add space too! So now that you know more about Glass Splashbacks, are you wondering if you can get it in that perfect colour? Yes! You will definitely find your perfect choice with us at Point Cook Glass. We can colour match to your needs and we even paint your Glass Splashback on site in our Melbourne factory. Let us help you create and bring your dream kitchen to life.
