Lucky Colours To Paint Your Home in 2016


Now is the time when everyone starts to plan for the New Year of 2016 and practically preparing the homes for the Chinese New Year of 2016. One of the most popular home preparation activities that families in Malaysia shares annually is perhaps the house painting.

So what is the Lucky Colours of the Chinese Calendar Year of 2016 Bing Shen (Fire Monkey) which will balance the luck of the household by colours energy balance?



Generally for Year of 2016 Fire Monkey, the lucky colours for the year will be red and shades of orange.

Suggestions from VPaint : Since these colours are quite sharp in nature, we suggest only certain wall in your home be selected as feature wall for these colours. One or two walls with such colours will be sufficient to bring about positive vibes that will suit the year's element balance.

Suggestion areas for red and shades of orange will usually be dining and kitchen area. Perhaps one of the walls leading to this areas can be painted with such colours.

Now many people will be wondering whether do they need to match the colours to their own personal lucky home colours.

If you do not wish to match the painting colours to the Annual elements; which may need you to change the feature wall colour every year (which; to some people always practise), you may use what we call the personal lucky home colours.

Living in the homes where the colours balance with your personal major element will bring about balance, and stability which eventually lead to more steady stream of energy. Needless to say, these will enable windows of wealth, health and better relationship to open effortlessly.

Here is the colour suggestions to your personal home colours.

1) If you are born after 8 August (inclusive) throughout the winter up to 5 March, it means that your element are quite cold and yin in nature. We usually name them "winter people". As such, your homes should have shades of red, orange, turquoise, green, and purple/violet. These will warm the cold and yin energy that you have. These colours are apparently matching the 2016 Fire Monkey colours as well. By having these colours, it is more practical should you want to maintain your home colours for a few years.

2) If you are born after 6 March (inclusive) throughtout the summer up to 7 August, then your elements are considered quite warm and yang in nature. In this sense, we name them the "summer people". Then the homes of summer people should have shades of black, blue, grey, white, gold and silver. This again will balance up the heat of people born around summer time. Dont worry too much if you find that these colours do not match with the yearly lucky colours as they serve as good element balance for your personal elements. It is suggested that these colours be applied to personal reading room, bedroom and home office to bring about calm flow of energy balance.

If you wish to repaint the house for the new year, and would just like some shades of neutral colours, then normally other shades of creamy white, beige and very light brown will do the job.

So here you are; the lucky colours for the year 2016 Fire Monkey2. :)

Wishing you all Happy New Year.

Happy Painting.

Cracking the head to find a good painting services contractor

Home and offices painting are seen to be an easy DIY work that perhaps many people (including most of the people we know) thought that they could do a very fair standard finish that may awe the family members and guests after of course some backaches and neck pains...
There are some people who are really good when it comes to DIY painting works in homes and offices while some may paint a few walls and realize soon after that it is better to pay someone who are living off the painting skills whom we all known as the painters...."professional" some call themselves; to do the job.

Now the question is "where to find a good painter"?

Before that.....

Many claims to have the experiences, workmanship, quality and all that we need to paint the desired areas with the desired outcome but over the years of being in the market, we often hear complaints of victimized customers who just simply wanted their home to look nicer in some new coats of paint. Not to mention, some of the victim i know is from the same project/construction/building industry who maybe are not familiar with the good batch of painters in the market.

Nowadays, some contractors may have the experiences, workmanship and quality as they claimed and with benefit of doubt, assuming that they do; there are still some cases where home owners are being taken for a ride for works not well done, not fully done, not covered under original agreed scopes, hidden issues not mentioned to them and being backslashed by extra claims only LATER of the painting services project, untimely delivery, and multiple issues that this page cannot even afford to contain....we should have figured.

Why is that so? First contractors blamed the owner for stingy and finding excuses for not paying full; if they pay at all in some cases. When we hear it from the owner, they said that the contractors are not being honest and has attitude when dealing with the painting projects.

It is a mistrust and sometimes misunderstanding issue that is currently happening in the market.


Here are a few pointers to finding a good painter:-
1) They take interest to understand your need, your house/office condition and give you a comprehensive full report on the condition of your house/office....nothing should be hidden from your knowledge.
2) They explain to you, whether or not you want to know, on how to resolve the issues in the areas you want to paint in your house or office. At this point, it is good to understand if their experiences will come in handy to solve your home/office problems with the best effort, best solution at the best price.
3) What they promise, they deliver. Although we are all human, you will find that a good painter or any contractor for that matter will have the tendency to try their very best in fulfilling what they promise to you, in terms of delivery time, manner of delivery and integrity of services.
If you had been dealing with alot of contractors before, you can immediately tell the differences from a good painter from a "cincai" one.
4) You will find that they prioritize your home painting performance results more than the money that you will agree to pay them. Their concern is more to providing you a good finishing than the price of the services.
5) They make sure that you are fully satisfied in the painting works that they had done for you and always willing to serve you when you need them rather than eagerly wanting to leave the job as fast as possible after completing the job.
6) They somehow did a little extra for you with or without you knowing it.

But the owner may be asking, "how do i know they have these qualities?"
Answer: Meet with them during the job evaluation (before start work) to understand more about the work.

With the above, good luck in searching for your right painter for your lovely home/offices.
