Color is a powerful element of interior design, as it can transform the look and feel of any room in your home. If your upcoming home renovation involves upgrading your interiors, consider painting your walls with a new coat of paint. While choosing the best paint color for your interior can be daunting, you just need to know where to look for inspiration
DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Northwest DC shares a few tips and tricks to help you choose the perfect paint colors for your home interiors.
Take a Cue From Print Fabric
One of the easiest ways to pick the right color for your interiors is by taking visual cues from print fabric. Throw pillows, bedding, and table linens can give you ideas and inspiration for paint colors. If you’re painting an accent wall, look for the boldest colors in the print. On the other hand, if you are looking for a subtle color for a large space, look at the color in the small details of your print fabric. Once you have found the right color from a print, take a fabric swatch to the paint store to guide you in choosing paint strips to view at home.
Showcase Your Personal Style
The color of your interior walls should reflect your personality. Remember, you can make any color look good as long as it truly suits your style. Since most people buy clothes in colors they like to wear and know they look good in, you should consider painting your interiors in colors that flatter you. If you like to wear denim, you may want to paint your living room walls navy blue. If bright hues such as yellows and oranges are your go-to choice, you can mix in a few citrusy accents.
Consider the Perfect Finish
Paint not only comes in many different colors, but it also comes in many finishes. Find the perfect finish for your paint color early in your home remodel project. There are five main types of paint finishes: flat/matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss. Each finish has a significant impact on how the paint looks in the specific colors you are considering. For this reason, make sure to test your paint in the appropriate finish to ensure what the final product will look like.
Look Outside for Inspiration
When picking the perfect color palette for your home interiors, look outdoors for inspiration. By incorporating natural colors such as forest green, deep sea blue, or earthy brown, you bring the outside in and make it look and feel relaxing and soothing. Don’t forget to sample your favorite paint colors at different times of the day and night and with the window treatments closed and open. This way, you get the most authentic view of your possible choices.
