Are you looking to give your commercial interior hallways a fresh coat of paint for the Kelowna summer? We have put together a few things you need to consider when doing this.

Size and Lighting

The first thing you need to look at is the size of your hallways. If you have narrower hallways you need to be very careful when choosing paint colors. To help open up the hallways, choose lighter colors as this makes them appear larger.

The lighting in the hallways will also be a factor. If the hallways do not have much natural light, you’ll want to make sure you choose colors that reflect light. You may want to consider eggshell white, light grey, or beige. You can also look into incorporating colors like blue or green to help brighten up the space.

Building Atmosphere

When painting the hallways you’ll want to consider what kind of atmosphere you’re trying to create in the building. If the building is more professional and clean, you’ll want to stick with cooler colors. These colors also tend to have a calming effect on people, making the building more inviting to people coming and going. But if you’re wanting the building to feel more inviting and more like home, you’ll want to choose warmer colors.

Maintenance

The last thing you’ll need to consider is the finish of the paint. The finish of the paint will determine how the hallways looks, but also how easy it will be to maintain and clean in the future. For commercial paint jobs in Kelowna, most painters will choose satin or semi-gloss finishes. Satin will work for most commercial buildings. It is durable and can withstand lots of wear and tear, but given how busy these hallways can get, you’ll most likely want to go with semi-gloss as it will make sure your hallways look great for many years.
