The colors of your walls and ceilings are vital to your interior design. They can help you create the atmosphere you want for your living spaces and contribute to the overall appeal of your home. Nevertheless, choosing interior paint colors can be a challenge, especially with the numerous options on the market.

In this post, home remodel experts at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park share some essential tips to help you pick interior paint colors.

Look for Inspiration

You can start by searching for interior design ideas that use your favorite color. Instagram and Pinterest are usually great for finding inspiration, but you might discover some gems in magazines and catalogs too. 

Alternatively, you can visit the websites of paint manufacturers. They usually have an online tool that allows you to combine different colors and see how they look together. However, make sure to ask your interior remodeling contractor for samples of the paint colors so that you can see them in person and under the different lighting conditions in your home.

Use the Color Wheel

Basic knowledge of the color theory will help you create a color scheme for your interior. You can also use the color wheel to see which colors are complementary and contrasting. Your interior paint colors don’t have to be the exact ones you see on a color wheel. You can look up other shades of the color you want and use them for your home.

Have Fun With Neutral Paint Colors

Neutral colors are great for any interior space because they’re widely appealing. To add charm and make neutral colors more interesting, you can use them in creating patterns. For example, a striped wall in neutral shades will add style to your interior while keeping a relaxed vibe. A pastel ceiling is also a clever way to add color without disrupting the relaxed atmosphere in the room.

Choose Colors From a Print Fabric

Aside from your favorite color, you can also use your favorite pillow or bedding as inspiration. Find a color on the print fabric that you like and use it on an accent wall. The boldest shade is usually the best choice for this. Then, pick a lighter shade from the print fabric and use it on a larger space in your interior.
