Choosing Interior Paint Colors
Paint transforms rooms affordably. The right colors enhance architectural features while creating the atmosphere you want. Wrong choices make rooms feel smaller, darker, or dated.
Understanding Undertones
Every paint color has undertones that interact with your lighting and furnishings. Whites can lean warm, cool, or green. Grays shift blue, purple, or brown. Test samples before committing.
Light Matters
North-facing rooms need warmer colors to compensate for cool light. South-facing rooms handle cooler tones well. Test colors at different times of day to see how they shift.
Creating Flow
Connected spaces need coordinated colors. This doesn’t mean identical—use varying intensities of complementary tones. White trim throughout unifies spaces painted different colors.
Classic Neutrals
Warm whites, soft grays, and greiges work in most spaces. They provide backgrounds for changing decor. Bold colors work best as accents or in rooms you can easily repaint.
