Long Island City Interior Painting

Life in Long Island City along the East River in Queens blends history with hip and river views with robust vibes.  Urban chic condos and apartments boast industrial accents, contemporary style, clean lines and copious windows. This home personifies some of the best in city living, and this room was more than ready for a fresh coat of paint.

 The neutral creamy paint here stands quietly on the walls, trim and column, letting all who enter be drawn to the expansive views and rooftop accommodations. It projects an understated elegance to which pops of print or art color are welcome, along with bold, soft or medium fabrics, rugs and furnishings. It’s an anything goes space. The mission of neutrals is not to take center stage, but to create an atmosphere where cool, calm and congenial emotions are present. We certainly felt it as the job came to a close and are confident the residents do as well.

Touching up paint is one of those ideas that looks good on paper and never looks good on the walls or ceiling. Even if you know the color, brand and kind of paint, time, sunlight, dirt and interior temperatures and air quality have an effect on the finish which makes it impossible to match. The best practice is always to paint an entire ceiling or wall so it ages evenly.

The splotchy ceiling and dull walls were an eyesore to a Midtown Manhattan couple who wanted their new condo to be fresh and clean before they moved in. One of the most popular paints on the market is Benjamin Moore’s White Dove, and here the classic, soft shade proved perfect for the trim. The walls are Pale Oak, a greige color. Greige is a fairly new word that crosses gray and beige for a warm taupe. Their choice of this neutral palette is brilliant for showcasing artwork, fabric and upholstery, bold splashes of color or subtle hints of earth tones and pastels.

Central Park West Condo Painter

There’s lots of advice on getting a good night’s sleep. Mike Lindell of My Pillow fame will say that his line of pillows, mattress pads and sheets will give you the best sleep of your life. At SleepFoundation.org, you’ll find that “your bedroom is your sanctuary from the stresses of the day. Use your senses to create the best environment for sleep.” And along these lines, the visual sense might be the strongest emotional driver for a serene space.

 We recently painted this bedroom in a Central Park West Condo, taking it from average to amazing with fresh coats of cool white paint. White evokes peace, reverence, cleanliness and goodness. The resident then added strong royal blue paired with soft and medium pewter grays for a luxurious sleeping space. Stepping into and waking up in this kind of freshly-painted, tranquil environment may be your ticket to a more restful sleep and an overall more positive outlook, and who wouldn’t want that?
