Have you ever been in a home that you just absolutely love—one that makes you feel comfortable and happy at the same time—or in another home that seems like it should be great, but just makes you feel uneasy? It could be the paint color that is impacting your feelings—color on the walls, floor, and ceiling, and the furniture inside the room, can have a significant impact on a person’s response to the place. To get a beautiful home that makes you, your family, your friends, and visitors feel happy, it’s important to select your colors carefully.
1: Talk to Your Painter
Professional painters in Augusta, GA
, and the local area, are not always professional interior designers, but they do have a lot of experience with paint colors. That’s why we, at Northside Construction Services, take pride in being both. If you’re completely stuck and don’t know where to start, we can make recommendations about popular colors, or colors that have worked well in other homes like yours.
2: Pay Attention to Lighting
Sometimes the color you select in the store doesn’t translate very well to your home, and in many cases it’s probably because of the lighting. When you selected that color you were likely in a large store with overhead fluorescent lighting, then you brought it home and painted a room with residential lighting, or natural light from the windows. The difference can be stark, which is why you should always take your color selections home first and test them out in the room where they will be located. If you aren’t sure, ask a painter to paint a small area of a room so you can see it first.
3. Use the Color Wheel
Color wheels are a great resource for anyone considering painting services in Augusta, GA
, or the local area. The basic rules of color wheels are to choose two or more colors that are either complementary, meaning they are opposite one another on the color wheel, or two that are similar, meaning they are next to one another on the wheel.
Once you have chosen your preferred paint color, talk to your painting contractor in Augusta, GA
, or the local area, like Northside Construction Services, about adding some depth with decorative finishes, and start thinking about how you can make your colors pop with furniture, carpets, draperies, and other room accents. Give us a call today to learn more about our painting services.
