Choosing a paint color can be a hard and overwhelming task, and Freshome lists four ways to help with the task. First, know what textiles you also plan to know in the room. Second, work with the other rooms you want to paint in mind. Third, remember that colors show up differently in different light settings. Experiment with how it looks at day and night. Lastly, factor in the the kind of finish you want: flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss or high-gloss.
Key Takeaways:
- Pick out textiles for the room first, and base your paint color choice off of that rather than vice versa
- Coordinate the colors of the rooms throughout your house rather than treating each individual room as a totally separate entity
- Think about the lighting you will be using and how it will affect a paint shade before committing to the color
“There’s no denying the shade we pick to adorn the walls is a fundamental part of any interior design project. In fact, it’s often the element the rest of our aesthetic choices are based on.”
