CURRENTLY LOVING
Choosing the perfect shade of paint for your home can feel like an intimidating and overwhelming challenge. There are limitless options to choose from, and even when you do manage to decide, you feel committed to that one color. However, there are steps you can take to make the process feel a bit more manageable and less stressful.
Go for the colors you love
The easiest way to choose the best interior paint colors is to start with the colors you already love. When you start with these colors, you are not bound to traditional color schemes for any decorating style. Use your favorite color as the base color and then create a color scheme around it.
Find color inspiration
It is easy to find color inspiration anywhere. From magazines to catalogs to even social media, there is an endless assortment of ideas to build off. The internet gives you access to thousands of pages of inspiration. Social media sites such as Pinterest and Instagram offer color inspiration that is modern and up to date.
Look outside for ideas
Bring the outdoors inside. Whether you choose grass green or the blues from the beach, exterior-inspired color schemes are meant to be restful and relaxing. They connect you with nature and add a different ambiance to your space. Make sure to sample your paint colors at all times of the day and night and with the window closed and open to get the most realistic view of your possible choices.
Keep the room purpose in mind
The purpose of a room is always a great way to pick put the perfect paint color. For instance, if you’re redecorating a kitchen, what type of vibe are you going for? Are you going to be cooking 24/7, relaxing, or entertaining others? This can help guide you on what hue of color to choose.
Watch out for lighting
The size of the room and lighting are also important factors to consider when choosing a color. Many people often overlook the natural light of a space. The direction of your light and windows will change the way your color appears on the wall. It’s important to consider that southern light will appear warmer while northern light is cool and adds more shadows to a space.
There are so many different and unique ways to choose a color palate for your home. When it comes down to it, there is no right decision! Just have fun with what you are doing, and the process will become less overwhelming.
