Paint Selection

Choosing the perfect paint colors for your home can be an exciting yet overwhelming process. Start by considering the mood you want to create and identify hues that will work across multiple rooms to pull the space together. Warm tones like tan, peach or yellow can evoke cozy feelings while cool grays, blues and greens create a more tranquil vibe.

Look at color palette inspiration in photos of spaces you’re drawn to, keeping in mind how lighting can impact a color. Natural light will emphasize lighter, bolder tones. For a focal wall, be brave with a saturated hue like navy, emerald or mustard to add drama. Neutral shades are ideal for large expanses like main living areas, providing a versatile backdrop to layer in accent colors through decor and furnishings.

Don’t forget the finish – matte and eggshell paints conceal imperfections in walls while glossier sheens add depth and visual interest. High-traffic areas may require more durable satin or semi-gloss.

Test swatches on the wall at different times of day when the lighting is most like the room’s. Purchase sample sizes to paint sections first, ensuring the tone works with your existing decor. While trends come and go, choosing a timeless color you love will keep your paint looking fresh for years to come. Let your home reflect your personal style through creative, thoughtful color selections.
