Tips for Choosing Paint Colors
Choosing paint colors for a room can be a chore. While you can always change it, you also want to save yourself the hassle, the money, and the time of repainting if you suddenly realize it’s not what you want. So how do you know what you want? The interior designers we have at Chandra Interiors has had years of experience with this dilemma and helping their clients through it. Here are a few tips we’ve put together to help you:
1. Look Around
Start by looking at the furniture you want to put in the room. You’re going to want to pick shades that match the furnishings before anything else, complementing its colors or even highlighting particular bold-colored furniture.
2. Get Some Inspiration
You can look through magazines, color guides, or your favorite art works. Pick out your preferred colors or the ones that catch your eyes the most, and go from there. If you want more attention on the walls, go for bright colors! But if you’d rather have something else in the spotlight, neutral colors are your safest bet.
3. Test Your Paint Colors
No, not on the walls just yet! Get a piece of cardboard and sample your chosen paint colors on them and compare them to the other aspects in the room to see if they go well together.
4. The Sheen
The general tip here is that if you want to accent something, go for more sheen, but if you want to mask flaws, stick with less. The different types of paint sheen all have varying finishes that can completely change the aura of your room.
With these tips to help you, it won’t be too hard to methodically choose the right paint color for your room! If you’re having a hard time, ask our experts to help you out.
