I need a Good Paint App!

9 years ago

Trying to choose colours using our photos. I've tried Dulux, Taubmans which are identical and crash before I can add paint colours. Tried to upload Paint. Net. I'm ready to get out the colour pencils. All suggestions for a good app appreciated.

Best room design apps?
Q
Comments (0)
Hi, I have been playing around with most room/interior design apps out there but while they're pretty good at giving a general idea of space and layout, I haven't found one yet that allows me to import specific items or photos. Most of them offer a generic choice of furniture items and wall/floor treatments - not the ones I actually intend to buy or already own. As a result I end up with a nice looking fantasy room that hasn't got much in common with the room I'm working on other than its dimensions. Does anyone here know of an app that allows you to customise a space in more detail? I.e. treat walls in a room separately (for example, 1 brick wall, 3 walls painted), paint floorboards, import photos of specific items (furniture, lighting) into the design? I'm babbling but I hope it makes sense what I'm trying to say. Any help would be appreciated - thank you!

That's actually pretty rational to use successful websites and pick some details that you can use for your own website. If you need a company that will help you find the best solution for your project, you can check out angular js development agency, and I'm sure that it'll help you boost your project and come up with a good product.

Using a hot works gas torch sounds a bit hazardous and not the safest way of cleaning stonework. Not sure the gas torch would do the plastic cables any favours either, you'd have no internet or tv for a while. An old fashioned new wire brush is probably all that's required, a soft grade wire, not a really hard wire as this will stop too much of the stone surface being ground off. Test on a small inconspicuous patch first and see how it looks, if it looks good then do the rest of the wall. Try not to brush out the mortar though. Don't use a wire brush that has got wet and then got rusty otherwise you may end up creating rusty streak marks. Consider a professionally erected scaffold tower for the high level pieces of walling. Hard work and time consuming but it might work. You can also buy stone cleaner washes which are effectively mild acid washes that take off the surface impurities. Suggest you buy this book, a must have for old, traditional buildings in the UK. https://www.spab.org.uk/publications/old-house-handbook/ SPAB also do training course for home owners so perhaps see if you can get on a course and learn about how to care for your building properly by the industry experts. Good luck!

Can I go dark? paint choice help needed!
Q

i don't think it would look silly. Dark Blue is a good choice for a north facing room. instead of trying make it white which can end up looking grey, it's a good idea to embrace darker colours. if you add the living room with white and grey accent accessories and bring some dark blue accents into the kitchen (curtains, blinds, baskets, dinnerware, pottery) and bathroom (wallpaper, rug, tiles picture etc), the whole space will have a same feeling. just create a connection. you need to look at the space as whole. http://www.farrow-ball.com/light-affects-colour/content/fcp-content

I'm not much of a geek, but it sounds to me like your computer or tablet is the problem, not the apps. I've used the Dulux app last week for my cinema room, it worked like a dream..... Try and load smaller sized photos, free some memory.... idk....
