How To Choose The Right Paint Color To Match Your Personality

Hey there! It sounds like you want to paint your home, right? Exciting! But it’s a little scary, too, huh? Picking just the right paint color can feel incredibly daunting but when done well – oh boy! Things are not going downhill that quickly After all, slapping some paint on a wall is not enough--you have to nourish space, mood, feeling so it feels like you personally put it together, no matter where in the world. You need to get a paint that is you(Energy said product thinking: I've been through this process a few times myself and, let me tell you, I've had my share of wins and, well, some questionable choices if we're being honest here. Just don't ask about the time I painted my bathroom bright yellow.) But with a little guidance, choosing the right color can be fun too. So let's look into how to find an individual shade match your home’s personality. 1 ．Start with the Mood You Want to Create The first step towards deciding on a paint color is to ask yourself how you want the room to feel. Warm, cozy in winter? Bright and dancing with vigour? Or do you crave maximal relaxation during nights of deep sleep? Color has mood-setting power on a par with any other factor that made people so determined or merely helped throw things into chaos. Think from there. For example, in my bedroom I wanted a calm theme with a soft blue-gray for the walls. It feels like I'm getting a little hug every time I walk in. But then on the other hand, for my kitchen where I wanted energy and gaiety, I chose light sunny yellow -a far cry from the bright mistake made in my bathroom. Think about how you use the space and what kind of energy you ’ d like it to have. Quick Tip : Red, orange and yellow warm tones produce vigor, while blue, green and purple coolness.

Once more, when putting up light colors be sure to match in daylight. An identical-looking shade can appear very different even within just one room: done that!An example of this process now In my front room--first of all--I get paint samples before choosing hues. Then I test them on various walls to see how they look under different lighting conditions. Indeed you'd be surprised how very much doing so alters the color.

Pro Tip: If your room gets lots of natural light, go boldly for dark, rich colors. If it's on the less-frequent side (or in this case rear-facing), something lighter always helps brighten things up.

Match the Color to Your With the Style of the House Your color schemes must be compatible with the style of your house as a whole. Neutrals or bold colors fit great in a modern interior. If it's country-style, try softer pastel shades or natural earthen ones.

As a case in point, I wanted my living room when I refurnished it so that it had a hint of mid-century modern feel to it. I chose a deep teal color for an accent wall, and combined this with warm wood furniture and some mustard yellow bits. The whole room suddenly gelled well together giving a real stylish, cool look.

Pro Tip: Don't feel confined to a single style. Accent walls can add great personality without overpowering the space.

Let the Color Wheel Dictate Your Color Inspirations at stressful moments: the color wheel works wonders even outside of fashion shows. When beside each other (i.e., blue and green), analogous colors are easier on the eye. Complementary ones (opposite sides of the wheel like blue and orange, for example) create a kooky effect.

When I was painting my daughter's room. She wanted something fun and colourful. We used a nice lavender on the walls and put a little color with mint green accents and pastel pink. Let yourself feel it was good fun. In the end she just loves it.

DIY Hack: If you're not sure how to combine colors, a push in the right direction is already available from pre-made palettes online. They make for excellent start-offs.

Don't Forget About the Ceiling and Trim

Ceilings and trim often go unnoticed until they’re needed. But they are just as important as the walls - a fresh coat of white paint can make trim pop or you can even use a contrasting color for an edgy look.

In my dining room, I painted the walls a warm taupe and the ceiling a soft cream. The subtle contrast added depth to the room and made it feel a little more elegant. For trim, I usually stick to white, but sometimes a darker color can make real impact.

Pro Tip: If you have a low ceiling, painting it a lighter shade than the walls will make the room feel taller.

Take Inspiration from Your Decor

If you're having trouble choosing a color, look at the furniture and decor you have. You can pick colors from a favorite rug, a piece of art, or even the guy who made your throw pillow.

In redoing my home office, I couldn't decide on a color until I saw the soft sage green in a framed print I had hanging on the wall. I used that shade for my main color, and it really brought everything together in that room.

Pro Tip: Bring fabric swatches and pictures of your decor when choosing wall paint. It'll help you see how everything will go together.

At last, look at your home: you really spend a lot of time there. Use lots and lots of color, if that's what brings happiness into your life; some will object or should such man colour this or that room.? Do they think you should be just another suburbanite killing off both style and verve?

One time I came home and painted my entryway wall with a bold splash of emerald green. That color had been knocking around inside me for a long while--a bit leaky chalky it was transparent pure and pretty almost like light itself. This was somewhat risky but every time I enter that door, it makes me smile. And isn't that what counts in the end?

Wrapping it up

Choosing the right interior cleaning might seem like climbing a vast mountain but, really, it doesn't have to be large stress-on-your-shoulders. What kind of mood do want the space to have? think first about that; then consider how much and what type light you get indoors as well as match your personal taste (feeling gothic, say): Home styling and decorations furnish suggestions for finishing touches. And most importantly, enjoy yourself! After all it's just paint - if you don't like it you can always change your ‘canvas’ later on.

So what's the first room you're tackle with some new paint color? Pick up some three swatches and try a couple out. (I bet they have those free where people buy paint, too.) Let your creative juices flow with abandon. Oh, and by the way: Any fun paint stories or tips you want to share, I’d love! Enjoy the painting!
