Colors for every room: home combination guide
Learn how to choose the right color for your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and terrace using NCS and RAL codes. Expert tips from Suministros Barrero in Lloret de Mar.
Color palette
Sometimes you walk into the shop and all the color charts feel overwhelming. That is normal. At Suministros Barrero, here in Lloret de Mar, we see every day how the right shade changes a room. Painting a kid's bedroom is not the same as painting a Costa Brava terrace exposed to sun and salt. Here is a straightforward guide to help you get it right in every corner of your home.
the kitchen: clean and bright without being boring The kitchen is where we spend the most time. If you want a modern look that stands up to heavy use, skip the clinical pure white. **RAL 9010 Pure white** is a classic that works, but if you want more personality for cabinets or an accent wall, **NCS S 2005-Y20R** adds warmth for those early mornings. For the walls, we recommend [Blatem water-based enamels](/categorias/esmaltes). They handle grease much better and you can wipe them down with a damp cloth without leaving marks.
bathrooms: freshness and visual order Bathrooms in this part of La Selva often lack natural light. The color **RAL 000 85 00 Shadow white** works well because it is a clean brightness rather than a cold gray. For an elegant coastal feel, use **NCS S 3010-B10G** on a single wall to create a relaxing space. For these damp areas, ask us at the counter about Blatem anti-mold paint. It stops those annoying black spots from appearing on the ceiling.
kids' bedroom: controlled creativity You can play around more here. Instead of the usual pastels, try **NCS S 1030-R80B**. It is a soft blue with enough body to help with sleep. If you prefer a neutral that grows with them, **RAL 7044 Silk grey** is a safe bet. For these rooms, we always recommend Blatem eco-friendly paint. It has almost no smell, so they can sleep in the room the same night you paint.
the hallway: the first impression Hallways are usually narrow. If you use **NCS S 1502-Y**, which is a very light sand tone, the space will look wider. If you have an old entry table, you can give it new life with [Montana Colors](/categorias/distribuidor-montana-colors) matte spray paint. It is fast and looks professional without brush marks.
terraces and outdoors on the costa brava In Lloret de Mar, the sun is strong and the salt air is tough on paint. For the terrace floor, use a walkable acrylic rubber coating. For colors, **RAL 7035 Light grey** reflects heat and hides dirt well outside. If you are painting a railing, use an anti-rust enamel directly over the rust to save yourself the sanding work. You can see the options in our [waterproofing](/categorias/impermeabilizacion) section.
air-bosq air fresheners: the scent of your colors Color is for the eyes, but scent makes you feel at home. At Suministros Barrero, we use [Air-Bosq air fresheners](/categorias/ambientadores) for scent marketing.
- For light, clean tones like RAL 9010, the UNO scent with green tea and bergamot notes adds to that fresh feeling.
- If you chose NCS S 3010-B10G for the bathroom, it pairs perfectly with AQUA, which smells like marine jasmine and the rosemary from our local coves.
- In living rooms or hallways with sand tones like NCS S 1502-Y, the KILATE fragrance adds a touch of leather and mandarin that makes the space feel high-quality.

what is the difference between ncs and ral?
NCS is a system based on how humans see color, which is great for interiors. RAL is a European standard used mostly in industry and metalwork.

Yes, at our Lloret de Mar shop, we have Blatem tinting machines to mix any NCS or RAL reference in a few minutes.

A high-quality plastic paint or a water-based enamel is best. They resist scuffs and stand up to constant cleaning.

Use exterior coatings with UV filters and stable pigments. We stock the Blatem facade range for this reason.
