There are a million different paint options on the market. It may seem daunting but a good place to start is with a color that reflects you! The easiest way to discover this is through memories of places travelled that give you a feeling of warmth, comfort, excitement or joy. Or you can take a look at your wardrobe...even a favorite color works!

Look at the Existing

Assess the existing elements in your home. If you have warm toned woods, it is ideal to choose a warm based paint to compliment the furniture. Same goes for cool toned woods, such as ash wood or white furniture. If you are starting fresh, you have endless options!

Before You Begin...

When decided on a color, it is best to have a test patch of the color you are going to pursue on the walls before committing, mainly due to the effects of natural and artificial light. Artificial lighting will make rich colors appear brighter and natural sunlight will tone down colors or make them appear even more rich, depending on the time of day. It is best to paint the color in the areas that receive exposure to both light sources and see if the color is to your liking in both aspects.

Accent Walls

Accent walls can be a fun way to brighten or neutralize a space and draw attention to specific areas of the home, such as in the bedroom, behind a bedframe, or in a living room. Darker colors will make the space feel more private, and lighter colors will tend to expand the space, making it feel open and approachable. Bright colors always add energy to a space.

When choosing a color scheme, it is best to choose within the same color family for the entire home. This way, the home feels cohesive and balanced!

Overall, have fun with the process! As color trends are currently changing, our team would love to assist you in any decisions you pursue when designing your new home or if updating your current home!
