A Study in Scarlet: Benjamin Moore's Caliente Redefines Relaxation

In the heart of Clinton Hill, a spirited sanctuary emerges—a sophisticated adult playroom brought to life with the warm embrace of Benjamin Moore's Caliente. This particular shade of red is not just paint on the walls; it's a bold choice, a backdrop for creativity and leisure, that sets the stage for a room unlike any other.

Selecting the Perfect Shade

Choosing the right color is critical, especially when the goal is to create a room that's both energizing and elegant. Caliente, a robust and rich red, offers just the right balance. It's a hue that can invigorate the spirit and provide a welcoming warmth that invites relaxation and introspection. In the context of an adult playroom designed for unwinding and entertainment, it's the ideal selection.

Technique and Application: More Than Just a Brush Stroke

The transformative power of color comes not just from the hue itself but also from the method of its application. Our team at Paintworks & Decorating approached the walls of this Clinton Hill playroom with precision and care. Our process began with thorough wall preparation to ensure a flawless canvas for the Benjamin Moore Caliente. Multiple coats were applied to achieve an even and striking finish that commands attention and holds it tenderly.

Balancing Act: Accents and Atmosphere

It’s not just about the walls; it’s about the entire ensemble. The playroom features contrasting white trim and ceiling that frame the Caliente red, ensuring the color pops without overwhelming the senses. The natural wood floor adds a touch of earthiness, grounding the room, while the carefully selected furnishings contribute to the room's overall vibrancy and comfort.

The Final Touch: A Room That Speaks

The end result is a space that speaks volumes about the homeowner's taste and the transformative expertise of our team. This Clinton Hill adult playroom is now a testament to what can be achieved with a daring vision and a commitment to quality. It's a space that welcomes, inspires, and entertains—a true adult haven.

Painting Over Dark Colors

Riverside Blvd. is the new kid on the block for residential living, having been developed in the 1990s. Hugging the Hudson River, the former industrial site was home to the Hudson River Railroad, built in 1846 to connect Albany with New York City. Today, high-rise luxury condos boast hotel-style amenities and elegant lifestyles. Riverside Park, established in 1872, stretches four miles of 253 acres along the waterfront.

When their original contractor flaked out of remodeling work, a family with a time constraint found us through a neighbor’s recommendation. We loved helping them in a crunch. It is noteworthy that we became involved so quickly because we have all the necessary insurance documents on hand. Additionally, we are experienced working in this building and know what is expected and how to get the job done. With keen eyes and sharp skills, our team painted light colors over dark ones. With excellent results. On time. For a happy family.

NYC Loft Painter

The whole fresh start concept covers a lot of ground, and a bright, newly-painted interior can be a great launching pad into a new home in a new place. A couple with their beloved cat were about to make the leap into this Long Island City loft, but first the old dingy appearance had to be updated.

With lots of windows and natural daylight, selecting Benjamin Moore’s Simply White made the most sense for maximum reflection. White also sets the perfect background for bringing in art, fabric and colors that take center stage visually. Long Island City itself presents an energetic stage where trendy eateries and modern arts commingle comfortably with historic industrial vibes, corner parks, waterfront city views, outdoor concerts and intriguing shops.

Insured Painters in Battery Park

Here we had a couple moving into a new place which had been erratically painted with some matte paint on the walls here and some semi-gloss paint over there. The look could be called sporadic splotchy or mis-matched mystery or peculiar paint pairing. Let’s just say that it didn’t work well in this otherwise sleek, modern, stylish, city abode.

We painted the entire 2-bedroom condo, and the living room is now a very smooth Stonington Gray from Benjamin Moore. This elegant neutral with subtle blue undertones in the right light creates a classy environment complemented with black furnishings and a natural wood credenza. The rug adds earth tones that connect everything into a cohesive space in which to relax, work, play and enjoy the latest episode of a favorite TV series. The new residents are now comfy and cozy and very content.

Brooklyn Duplex Interior Painting

There are lots of things new tenants would enjoy like donuts, a vase of fresh flowers, gift card to the local deli and so on. But as professional painters, we see those consumables are here today-gone tomorrow. On the other hand, a fresh coat of interior paint lasts much longer and speaks the language of caring about renters having fresh, clean spaces in which to create their new home. Home is where the heart is, for sure, it’s a refuge from the hustle-bustle of city streets and subways. Maya Angelou related that “the ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”

 In this charming Brooklyn duplex, we painted high and wide after some routine light plastering and sanding to smooth out a few places. Plaster and sandpaper go to every job because most of them need a spot or more of touch-up. Painting professionally with superior results requires a keen eye from many angles, good lighting and the kind of surface assessment that only comes with experience. White Dove paint is always an excellent choice for projecting a bright, polished interior. Welcome home, new tenants!
