Color can make the single biggest difference in how a room looks and feels. We've all had the experience of rooms that just "feel" warm, cool, intimate, or stark based simply on the color of the walls and ceiling. When choosing interior paint colors, there are many factors to consider. CertaPro Painters can help you select colors that will give you the feeling you're looking for!
- Even within the same color family, individual colors can have different effects. For example, greens and greys can be warm or cool, depending on their composition of pigments.
- Lighter colors tend to expand a space and make it seem bigger. Darker colors, on the other hand, can make a space feel smaller and more intimate.
- Consider your furniture and flooring when deciding on interior paint colors to ensure that they will harmonize.
- Once you've narrowed down your choices to a few, be sure to paint sample swatches on your walls for comparison. Paint will go on lighter when first applied, so let it dry completely before making your decision.
