How to Pick Paint Colors for Interior Rooms

Here are the best tips, from the pros, on choosing interior paint colors to give your home a rich personality.

You’ve renovated your lovley house , fixing structural flaws and preserving each room’s distinct architectural character. But something’s still missing. More than likely, that something is that stain of color to give life to your home. As a construction company know how difficult it is to choose the right color , that color that will impress all your guests and make you feel at home.

Did you know that crown molding can visually raise the ceiling or lower it, depending on how it contrasts with the walls? Or that deft use of color can turn one room into a lively gathering place and another into a relaxing space for you to enjoy a book?

In today’s open-plan homes, where kitchens, living room, and dining rooms are often one large space, color is used to help define interiors and create focal points in relatively featureless rooms. The trick, is figuring out how to pick paint colors to use and where to put them.

Here are our tips

1. Start by selecting three colors from an existing object in your home. “Take a pillow from the family-room sofa, your favorite tie or scarf, or a painting—anything that conveys comfort or has an emotional connection for you—and take that object to the paint store,” says Krims. “Find three sample strips with those colors, and you instantly have 15 to 18 colors you can use, since each sample strip typically contains six paint colors.”
2. The next step is to choose one of the three paint colors as your wall color and to save the other two to be used around the room in fabric or furnishings.
3. To choose the colors for adjacent rooms, take the same original three color sample strips and select another color.
4. Finally, choose a fourth color that can be used as an accent: “Splash a little of that color into every room of the house—by way of a pillow or plate or artwork. It makes a connection between the spaces,” Krims says.
