Picking Interior Color

So, you’re about to embark on an interior painting adventure! Updating the colors of your interior is a great way to upgrade and change the feel of your space. Second to deciding who to hire to complete the job, the most important step is choosing the right color. Remember that picking colors from a swatch can be very deceiving.

All colors have a base tone which might not be as apparent on a small swatch, but when the color is painted over an entire wall or room – the base color will stand out. Brown colors will sometimes appear to have a pink hue to them, and greys very often have some purple or blue to them. To avoid being surprised by a base color, take some time to look at the color fan deck for the selected paint color to see where the color comes from.

There are also online tools like this one from Sherwin-Williams that help you to visualize what a color might look like in your space. This is a fun and easy way to “try on” different colors.

Before selecting a color, it can be worth the time to do some research to see what current trends are to see if there is any color inspiration that you like. Pinterest will have lots of ideas, but you can find extra inspiration if you have some time to explore local model homes or even peek into your neighbor’s homes.

As always, our painting and color experts at The Painting Company Birmingham will be happy to work with you through the color selection process. Give us a call today to start the transformation of your home!
