How To Pick Your Perfect Color Palette

Huntington House 3393-20

We know picking paint colors can seem like a daunting task.  Follow these easy tips and make the process fun again!

Don’t pull color from your artwork to use as a wall color.  You may love that ocean view in the painting above your sofa, but pulling out that blue hue for the living room wall will make the painting disappear.  Instead, select a neutral wall color and bring in painted furniture, accessories around, and sofa, pillow, and window treatments fabrics in the blue color.

Don’t let samples scare you.  Take your time with your paint color selection…after all, you’ll be living here every day.  Try painting small sections of your wall in the colors you’re deciding between – it will help you to visualize the color in your room with lighting during both day and night.

Take a look in your closet!  What colors do you incorporate in your everyday wardrobe?  While the bright coral dress you’re loving this summer may not be the best shade for your entire bedroom – what about as an accent wall paired with a neutral taupe?

Consider your mood in each room you are selecting paint for.  Somehow a loud color in your bedroom doesn’t create the tranquil environment your body needs to enjoy a full night’s rest.
