Top Residential Painting Trends To Refresh Your Brisbane Home


Brisbane's a town where people truly live – it's the confluence of apparent sunshine and the carefree character of people, thus the opportunities to engage in such outdoor activities are almost endless. Speaking of Brisbane's colourful lifestyle, it's logical that those vibes and the city's viability were expressed in painting trends. If you are trying to update and cheer up your property, a fresh coat of paint is a great solution. From doing the project yourself or collaborating with professional residential painters, selecting the most acceptable colour scheme remains unequivocally important. Prepare yourself for a glimpse at the top trends dominating Brisbane homes right now to ensure your chosen colour palette succeeds in redesigning your living space.

Bold and bright colours are a hot trend for Brisbane exteriors, adding a touch of personality and making your home a real head-turner. Think deep, ocean blues that evoke the calming energy of the nearby Moreton Bay. Or perhaps a rich, terracotta red that injects a burst of warmth and vibrancy. Sunny yellows are another popular choice, instantly adding a touch of cheerfulness to your street.

But it's not just about aesthetics. Bold colours can also create a sense of welcome, making your house feel inviting and approachable. They can even make a smaller place appear larger, adding a touch of visual magic.  However, before you grab that fiery red paint tin, remember to consider the style of your house and the surrounding neighbourhood. A Queenslander cottage might rock a bright teal, while a modern build might look best with a deep charcoal grey.

Timeless Elegance: The Enduring Appeal of White on White

The playlists playing the calming rhythm is a trend that decorum Brisbane homes. Such playlists create a relaxing atmosphere that is excellent for unwinding after spending a great time exploring Brisbane's many outdoor recreation areas. Think soothing beiges that remind you of the sand dunes on Moreton Island, creamy whites that echo the gentle hues of seashells, warm taupes that bring the beauty of Brisbane's hinterland inside, and light greys that reflect the soft morning mist blanketing the city.

  • Earthy tones are incredibly versatile. They pair beautifully with a variety of textures and materials, from timber floorboards to woven furniture.
  • They will also work great in the context of neutrals from which you can mix and match all sorts of colours such as your paintings, cushion covers or throws, so you can express your personality.
  • Moreover, their nature-driven colours are an asset as their creativeness is timeless and will not lose taste forever.

Bold and rich tones, such as navy blue, can present a sense of cosy and luxury inside, bringing the cool contrast to the city's sun to mark a new urbane space. Charcoal grey introduces the contemporary side of fashionable picturesque while black, used preferably, will be the key point of your outfits.

The hues of these colour undertones, however, are not only the reason they exist. By considering carefully they can create a spacious atmosphere. (contrast phrase – “whereas with proper planning they can, indeed, bring in some sort of a roomy feeling) Both dark and light colours are paint selections as the dark paint can recede with a good effect to create the illusion of spacing. Nevertheless, remembering that there is a space where natural light is in your room before selecting a midnight black theme is very relevant. Dark colours shall be used in well-lit rooms with the help of catching lights or otherwise, they will appear dull.
