Choosing the Right Paint Color For Your Home

It is easy to get lost in a sea of paint color options. If you cannot physically bring in the color you love (in example, the color of a friend’s wall), ask if you can borrow a paint deck (as known as a fan deck) and try to match the color to one of the chips.

Look for a color that compliments your existing furnishings – it is easier to change your paint color than buy new furniture! If you have a beige sectional sofa, consider adding some vibrancy to the room with a bold wall color. Think lighting. A room’s natural lighting is important in choosing an appropriate color for the space. A paint chip, that is. Explore your local paint shop and take home any paint color chips that pique your interest. Paint one focal wall that great color and the others a softer hue. Paint it a darker color to create separation and draw the eye to your favorite feature.

Make a slight distinction by painting the walls with flat finish paint and the trim with a glossy finish paint of the same color.

Whatever trim color you use, remember that a color can look different when combined with another color. Take chips of both colors and make sure they work well together for wall and trim harmony.
