Choose the Right Shades for Your New Residential Abu Dhabi Properties

Professionals in color application, Pantone recently announced the Color of the Year for 2009- Mimosa. The cheery yellow color brings bold back and bids a sweet adieu to shades of white and pastels that held so much sway last year. 

Vibrant hues for the house may be just the thing to use now that times are getting so tough for so many of us here in Dubai. Think stunning reds, majestic blues and dazzling greens for the walls, and you just might have interiors that leave the talking to the walls for once. 

This house on My Home Ideas makes use of a lovely red to bring out the personality of the room and invites a second look. Similarly, you could dress up the walls of your Dubai property investment with shades like a royal inky blue or even sunset orange. 

One thing you need to avoid or at least check that your interior decorator avoids is mixing bold paints with too many trinkets and accents in a particular room. No matter how spacious your room is or how much natural light is streaming into it, you will be left with walls that are too in your face. 

One good trick decorators use and homeowners can try out is including mood lighting or lamps that are in tune with the theme of the room. 

Owners of UAE residential properties usually spend a lot on the purchase of the house. The result is a smaller budget for decorating and furnishing. Try to gauge the overall costs of the property you want to purchase with your real estate consultant, so that you are left with a balanced view of what is required and what can be left for later.
