What colour should my mum paint the balcony? My mum is going to paint the patio in our put money...
My mum is going to paint the patio in our put money on garden either 'Brick red' (kind of dark) or 'Sandstone' (a creamy skin like colour). We hold a wooden bench that has been painted muted blue and the brickwork is painted white.
She wanted terracotta (sort of an in between the 2 ) but the store doesn't stock it keep asking me but I have no idea what looks fitting colour-wise, help!
The "sandstone' would turn best with the white brick and blue furniture. But I always close to the red brick colour better. Good luck.
Brick red will show smaller amount dirt, and look closer to terra cotta.
She could mix a little of each and return with a lighter red color. But it might not turn out like she wants.
I painted an indoor concrete floor a pale cream color, then
dripped various colors of acrilyc paint adjectives over it--red, blue, green , yellow, orange, etc. I even mixed some colors together to get hold of variouos other shades. Then I put 3 coats of
polyurethane over it for durability. (It was a kid's playroom.)
It's holding up well indoors.
Good Luck!
Answers: If your mum wants terracotta, the storeowner may know how to get it in for her.
If this isn't an risk, the brick red would probably be the closest, and patio paving paint does fade eventually and would make it look a bit softer. (sandstone is a bit bland and boring).
That would look great beside the light blue furniture and white brickwork.
Maybe she could also make cushions within a colour similar to the paving paint, to link it all together.
