Choose the Right Paint Color for Your Home

When it comes to decorating, choosing paint color can really be a challenge.  While you may feel that there are too many choices, you’re bound to find the right one...The paint color you choose will set the tone for each room you add color to.

1. Find the existing dominant color that you like, or wish to keep, in the room or on the house. For an interior, it could be the color of your sofa, your flooring or your window coverings.

2. Determine what kind of feeling you wish to have in the room or around the home.  Warm colors, such as red, orange, yellow or beige, can create an invigorating mood or add cozy intimacy to large spaces.  Blues, greens, violets or grays, the cool colors, give a serene feeling and can add spaciousness to small places.

Consider how complex a color scheme you wish to undertake.  There are three main color schemes to choose from:

1. Monochromatic schemes are based on one hue, which varies in value (lightness and darkness), and saturation (the amount of color).  An example of this is a pale blue with a pure blue and dark blue.

2. Analogous schemes combine no more than three similar colors.  An example of this is red, yellow-red (orange) and yellow.

3. Complementary schemes are based on opposing colors.  This scheme offers more contrast and can introduce both warm and cool colors into the area.  An example would be red and green.
