Self-help guide to home improvement-a new world of "painting"

The full text is about 1900 words, and the reference reading time is 6-8 minutes.

Recently, a friend happened to consult the design and color matching of soft clothes, saying that he was bald because he chose paint. I am not a professional designer, so I can only provide some self-help information and design tools for reference from the perspective of a home improvement dog crawling on the construction site.

I wish you all a bloody road on the journey of home improvement without designers (laughter ~ ~ ~

Step 1?

Collect inspiration materials and contact information of suppliers.

Read more books before you start work.

My own design/home improvement/building materials market exhibitions in recent years include Design Shanghai, Ideal Home Exhibition, Hotel Supplies Exhibition, Maison Shanghai and so on. Especially in various home improvement exhibitions, many model rooms can be found on the spot as a reference for the home in mind. There is no need to place an order in a hurry. When visiting, you can collect more business cards, scan the brand QR code, understand the brand information, especially the purchase channel, and contact the supplier directly to save more costs.

Step two?

Using design tools to make renderings

Draw more pictures before buying.

The conception stage of soft packaging does not involve technological details, but mainly focuses on visual effects, and various design tools can be used to make renderings. Under normal circumstances, only two softwares are needed to do it: high-level attention is paid to ps, and introductory ppt can also be used. There are only three factors to consider: color, shape and material.

Step two? . 1?

Of the three elements, color gives people the fastest impression. Especially for experienced colorists (please contact them to provide professional paid services), and the proportion of self-service colorings can follow the principle of 7/2/ 1. The quick and accurate choice is to find a scene you like (it can be a model room or a painting art work, and recommend the latter) and analyze the color composition.

At that time, the favorite home atmosphere was probably sauce.

Later, Moodboard was made of an IKEA inspiration map, and the color blocks on it were the color composition.

However, the color in the picture will be affected by light and display factors. Where can I find a paint that feels like this? Here, we should abandon the source map and let the software identify and analyze the corresponding paint color number. Many professional paint companies have developed related apps, such as Dulux Huancai Master, Fenlin ColorSurfing, Jordan's ColourDesigner and ColourMatch.

Because Jordan ColourDesigner was used at that time, I cut some pictures to simulate the process, so you can feel it:

Figure: Enter the APP to select countries and regions (this process may take several attempts, you know the network relationship).

Figure: Choose the theme color you need.

The source of the color number can be the color card that you look pleasing to the eye, or the list of popular colors recommended by Jordan every year. (Personally, I think the list of popular colors is very reliable. No matter in that year or in the coming year, the colors inside are carefully selected. )

The color chosen that year was called soft turquoise, numbered 6350.

Figure: In the next step, you will be prompted with the color scheme: soft blue-green 6350 white poem 8394 balance 6325.

The selected colors may not all be reflected in the wall paint, but can also be used as an overall guide for soft assembly colors.

Finally, the color scheme chosen by my own family is that the kitchen and bathroom use 6350, the living room background wall uses 6325, and the paint does not use 8394. I choose sofas with similar colors.

In addition, if you are not sure about the color scheme you choose, you can also use ColourMatch to get it. Here is a family photo as an example:

Upload photos of the scene and choose your favorite color.

Photo: Because the pictures taken are affected by light, you need to manually select the color closest to what you see. That's why I recommend uploading electronic artworks directly, which can avoid color difference.

I chose strong green.

After selecting the color, you can know the composition of this color and get matching suggestions. The official will give three schemes, including adjacent color matching and contrast color matching.

Photo: Personally, I like the color matching of this contrast color. You can click it further and adjust the proportion of several colors. The principle is still 7-2-1; Finally save, you can start the next production plan.

Step two? .2?

Combining color, returning to modeling and returning to material-these three things fall on a single piece of furniture, and everyone has his own taste. Remember that the elements in the same category should not be too mixed and should not conflict. For example, the metal material in the home is mostly stainless steel, so it is necessary to avoid the gold thread on the decorations. For example, if you prefer gorgeous fabrics such as velvet as curtains, you'd better choose suede or leather as the material of sofa; On the contrary, flax, cotton or other relatively simple fabric materials will have conflicts in the gas field. For another example, if you use arched doors, circular wall lamps and other items with more arcs at home, you should avoid sharp patterns (such as prisms and triangles) anywhere, including but not limited to curtains, pillows, bedside cushions and so on. Perhaps professional designers can mix and match the above (once again, it is recommended to pay for quality service), and non-professionals are not recommended to try.

Here we need to summarize several key words of color, shape and material, such as green, pink, arch, round, stainless steel, painted powder steel, terrazzo, cotton and walnut.

Then you can happily find the corresponding furniture to add to the shopping cart ~ ~ ~

Step two? .3?

Dig out the selected furniture background, leave a white background picture, and then use ppt or ps software to put it together according to the actual proportion-strong! You get a homemade scene rendering.

Give workers clear size information and clear color guidance when painting. The picture shows the construction drawing made by Sue.

The picture shows the real scene taken on the spot for comparison.

The picture shows the pink mosaic arch mirror corresponding to the decorative painting of the opposite arch.

The picture shows the terrazzo round coffee table next to the sofa corresponding to the terrazzo round wall lamp on the wall.

The picture shows the sofa legs, which are close to the material of the coffee table legs, and the two sections are round; The color of the sofa is in line with the theme color of the whole house, but it is lighter than the partition wall next to it. At the same time, the headrest adopts some sofa fabric colors and some carpet/floor colors (earth color system).

The only abrupt place in the whole house, which I need to modify, is the bookshelf partition. The reason why it is abrupt is that the pine board of the log is not uniform in color (5% grayish white) or material (walnut furniture)-this will be corrected later.

The above is the self-help guide for home decoration color matching, hoping to help you who are worried about paint and soft clothes.

This answer comes from living well with users, many decoration strategies and home experience. Welcome to the Life Good APP.
