Hello World! Welcome Friends! Making a house a home is all about changing the decor and furniture to reflect the family and individuals that live inside the walls. Through color trends and styles come and go, you can choose pieces or products that can stand the test of time and make your house a unique representation of who you are. There are some classic paint colors that can help define or set the tone for certain areas around your house, and with the ability of filling machines and equipment to mass-produce paints, you can find just what you need at a local hardware store. If you need some guidance getting started, consider these tips for choosing the right paint color.
Start With What You Love
One of the first questions your bestie probably asked you back in grade schools was “what’s your favorite color?” Most people have a favorite color or style, making this the most natural choice for your paint colors. However, a word of caution. If you like pink, you may have to be very careful about where you choose to paint the color and the shade. The same advice can be used with any color you pick. Make sure it will fit with the ambiance you are trying to create.
Find Your Inspiration
Perhaps you don’t want to use your favorite color, since having a purple bathroom doesn’t seem very relaxing. You can choose a color based on natural sources of inspiration. Some people look to color in nature, whether floral or animal-toned palates, while others may have a family heirloom that holds the key to a color palate. If you want to look at the ideas of others, flipping through magazines or catalogs can be inspiring. The caution with this approach is that you don’t forget about your furniture, decor, and room design. It is hard to recreate someone else’s look.
Decide to be Complementary
As you think about the colors that inspire you, remember that you don’t need to pick just one. You can coordinate your entire with complementary colors. Though neutral paint colors don’t always scream vibrance and joy, you can use neutrals for the walls and add pops of color and patterns through the decor and furniture. You can craft an entire paint scheme from colors that are in the same family or that accent each other.
Your interior paint job is an easy way to share your personality through your decor. Painting is a cheap and easy way to bring color and change to a static design.
