How to Choose Interior Paint Color
Many different factors go into choosing interior paint colors. Things such as a certain design style youre trying to achieve or a piece of furniture youre trying to match,such asmission coffee table orwood end table,can all affect the choice you make for the paint color of the room. Even with all these factors to take into consideration, there are certain guidelines you should following when selecting interior paint colors.
Dont Rush Into a Paint Color Choice
With so many thousands of different interior paint colors available, one should never rush into a color decision without proper planning. First, visit your local hardware or paint store and gather paint chips in whatever colors catch your eye that you envision for the room. Its important to get a variety of chips, as things can look very different at home when you see the color in the context of the room.
When you bring your paint chips home, dont just hold them up to the wall. Also walk around with them, comparing them with the furniture, the flooring, and the windows. This will help you make sure that the color is well suited to everything in the room that you plan on keeping after the remodel. If you are having trouble picking a color, you may also want to ask for opinions from others once you have narrowed it down. After all, they may see something that you dont.
Make Your Own Interior Paint Color
Cant find that perfect paint color? Consider making your own. Most paint stores now offer a custom service where they will match a color for you. With this service, you can bring in a painting or fabric swatch from your room and have them match the color for you. In the long run, this may cost you more. But the expense will be well worth it if youre able to get the desired style in your room.
Choose an Interior Paint Finish
Once youve decided on the color of paint for your room, the next step is to pick the type of finish you want. Its important to remember that the finish of the paint will affect the way that the paint looks. For instance, if can make some paint colors look darker or lighter, depending on the type of finish you choose.
Flat Finish: This type of finish results in a matte or duller finish. With this type of finish, the light will not reflect off the paint, making it a poor choice if youre trying to camouflage imperfections. For high-traffic areas, this is also not an ideal finish, as its harder to clean than other finishes.
Eggshell Finish: This paint finish has a small shine to it, just like an eggshell.
This is a very popular finish, since they are easier to clean and their subtle shine reflects light in the room.
Satin Finish: This finish has a small shine to it as well but with a smoother appearance. Satin paints work great in high-traffic rooms, since they are much easier to keep clean.
Glossy: The result of this finish is exactly as it sounds. Glossy paints have a very high gloss or shine to them. Also available are semi-gloss finishes, which have a little less shine to them. Glossy finishes are most commonly used for accessories like trim and doors rather than on entire interior walls.
Although the color of a room can be easily changed, you still want to make sure you do your best to pick an interior paint color that fits your style and is easy on the eyes. After all, by simply changing the paint color, you can truly change the entire look of any room.
