Choosing the right paint color can feel overwhelming as the swatches are endless.
We all know that Color sends a message. Color can be bold or timid, bright or muted, playful or serene. They can brighten a room or create coziness. The colors you select should set the scene for the mood you are trying to create.
But how do you go about selecting the right shades for your rooms? Here are the 5 questions you should ask yourself before you make the right color choice:
Does the color feel comfortable and welcoming?
The color of a space can impact a variety of factors, from how we feel in the moment, to how welcoming a space is.
Color can also affect our heart rates, impact our energy levels and generate a range of responses and behaviors, which varies between individuals.
With that in mind, you should choose colors that make you feel comfortable and at home in your house. And once you’ve settled on a general color, give that same consideration to the specific hues.
Paint swatches on your walls and consider which ones evoke the feelings and sensibility you want in the space as you go about your day there.
Does it reflect your individuality?
Paint colors can express an individual’s style, what they value, their own particular influences, cultural influences, financial influences, etc.
Interior design is about letting your personality shine through the home, whether it’s through soft, soothing paint choices or vibrant accent walls. Your individual experiences and preferences are crucial when it comes to determining the right interior paint colors for your home.
There’s often an emotional component as well. While some people adore bright saturated colors, others may feel much more at home with neutrals.
Beyond the emotions a color evokes, we also have different views of what looks luxurious or expensive. For some, it’s dark, rich colors that feel like they belong in palaces, but for others, it’s a clean white that suggests ancient statues and marble.
What are the current trends?
Although the goal is to choose a color that best expresses you and your individuality, it’s OK to look at what’s popular at the moment. Sometimes trends can inspire ideas or help you identify what you definitely do or do not want.
Sometimes the image we want our homes to portray and the feelings we want them to create involve feeling on trend. The trends can change and circle back around, and some colors trend because they simply feel classic and appealing at all times.
Does this suit the space?
While trends can help guide you toward colors you like or dislike, it’s more important to consider whether your chosen color suits the space you’re painting.
One thing to consider is how the room is used, and the size of the room, as certain colors can create space and even facilitate and complement the use of the room.
Darker colors might make a small room feel even smaller, but strategic accent walls or even ceiling paint can transform the sense of space. It’s OK to play around with bright colors if they seem to suit the vibe you’re going for.
Making a home most desirable to fit your own personality and function is the paramount reason for investing in the right colors and paint.
How does it work with the decor?
In addition to all the above points, you’ll also want to make sure your paint colors work with your furnishings and other decor.
If trendy paint colors don’t suit your home, you can always achieve an updated vibe with decor details. A person can select a paint color that works with their existing furnishings, then add some current accessories to achieve a revived space to come home to. You can think about textures as well as colors. The textures you choose can enhance your color selections
Above all, get creative with the process and don’t stress too much.
