Matching Paint Colors

Interior Designer Tips for selecting a new paint color

1. Find a starting point. Pull your color inspiration from something already in the room like a rug or a painting. If you are considering replacing the furniture in a room and fresh paint, start by finding new items for the room. Find a paint color to match a rug you love is infinitely easier than trying to find a rug you work with the color of your walls.
2. Think what you want, and what colors you like to wear. If you do not look good in yellow, do not paint your bathroom yellow or Master, you will enjoy yourself every time you look in the mirror. You can see lots of blue and brown furnishings for the home these days, but if you do not like blue Do not paint your room blue just to follow trends.
3. Be inspired! Mother Nature is the best colorist in the world and brings together the most incredible pallets. Look around the exterior color combinations that you may have never considered.
4. Start small and take baby steps. If you want to try a color for the first time, start in a small space and manageable as a bathroom. The space will allow you to live with you new colors in a small amount, the more you will need very few accessories to pull the look together.
5. Ignore all the "rules" you have heard, like the dark colors make a room look small. Do not be guided by what you said is right or wrong when selecting colors. Yes, some of these rules are certain amount of truth, but the world is not black and white, and should not be your home.
