3 tips on choosing the best paint color

Some say “colors speak,” and sometimes they speak volumes about a room. If that is true then surely the paint color of our rooms should undoubtedly reflect our personality. You don’t have to be an expert to understand the psychology of how colors affect us because quite plainly a dull paint color does indicate a somber mood. On the other hand, a brightly colored room exudes positivity.

Here are 3 great tips on choosing the best paint color:

Tip #1

Have a Clear Objective – Before you decide on a color, have a clear objective as to what would be the utility of the room itself. If it’s a room for recreation or play, a bright paint color like red or orange will emit great energy and liveliness. In addition, the type of furniture and show pieces would also influence the choice of color. Remember, after your removalists have helped you out with the house move, choose your colors wisely. Furniture which is in neutral colors would complement a brightly colored room. So, first plan out your objectives and then select the paint color to harmonize everything else.

Tip #2

Assess Lighting – Don’t be deceived by what your eyes see. Sometimes paint colors that look attractive on the palette may look different under the illumination of the interior lights of a room simply because light changes color. This interaction between the paint color and light should be evaluated. For instance, depending on the direction where a is room faceing, natural day light entering a room can either subdue colors or make colors bolder. The type of light bulb used in a room can also affect the paint color. Halogen lights make colors look bolder, but florescent light bulbs can mute some primary colors.

Tip #3

Don’t Blend Too Much – In trying to achieve your fantasy color scheme, avoid getting trapped into blending too many colors in one room. It’s only natural to let loose and try out wild color schemes, but avoid mixing too many paint colors. Pay attention to mood and ambience of the room by scanning through the room with your eyes before splashing another color on the wall. Try visualizing what the room would look like, or even try an online application with room visualizers where you can explore paint color combinations by trying it out virtually.

Remember, it’s important to analyze your paint color before succumbing to what you may see on those glossy magazines!
