Important Things to Keep in Mind
While choosing your paint colors is the first step on your way to refreshing your home, one to think about is the colors you choose to pair your paint with. Depending on the tone of your wood, trim color, the amount of natural light (or the lighting tone in overhead lights and lamps), and even metal hardware can shift the way your color introduces itself.
For example, a dusty blue or green may lean towards grey if paired with warm, natural-looking lighting from LED or incandescent bulbs. In contrast, under that exact same lighting, reds, oranges, and earthen tones may look brighter and more intense.
Additionally, just because that gorgeous olive green looked fantastic in your master bath in your last home, your current bathroom may not be suited for that same color – no matter how much you loved it. Luckily, you can still add that color into your bathroom’s color palette, but maybe choose it for your towels and bathmat instead of the walls.
If you’re still unsure about what color is right for you, your local hardware or paint store employees are more than happy to help you find the perfect hue to bring your vision to life
