Bridget Beari Color Rule #46



Bridget Beari Color Rule:


Bring on the Bling! 

I love working with metallics in a room. Whether on a wall or a piece of furniture, metallics give the room a reflective quality and bounces the light from one area to the next. 

We are excited to announce that coming this summer will be our Bridget Beari Metallic line of paints - silvers, golds, coppers, pearl essence and more! 

Look at how these designers used metallics to enhance their designs. 

I love the minimal design of this bathroom. The metallic walls create a modern and clean look. Too much metallic in a room can be overkill unless you keep it minimal.

Mixing metallics can add even more highlights to a room. Here they have mixed a gold and a silver!

If you want to add a touch of bling, try a stencil.

How about a gorgeous textured wall in metallic!

Tip: Take old mixed matched tins and spray paint them. See the Cynthia Shaffer blog for complete directions. How about using a metallic!!




Happy Painting .......

thanks for show casing the many uses of metallic paints! As a decorative painter, I especially love using them in layered wall finishes like the ones you have shown. Metallics never seem to go out of style.
