Paint Colour Consultancy:  How To Choose The Right Paint For Your Home

One of the most crucial design choices you'll have to make while decorating a home is the colour scheme.

Making a home's paint colours work together is similar to choosing your attire; even if you love multiple colours, you won't wear them all at once. The same holds true when picking a colour scheme for your home.

Colour can significantly affect how your home appears and feels, from the paint colour to finishes. And going back to the fundamentals might be helpful when choosing the colours for your home.

Top Ways to Choose The Right Colour for Your Home

1. Warm or Cool: Stick to One Colour Tone

The surroundings of the house, as well as existing fixtures and furniture, frequently have an impact on whether a cool-tone or warm-tone palette should be chosen for your residential painting. Stick with that colour family once you've decided which one you prefer. Avoid contrasting the two tones since it can be a bit out of place.

2. Look Around for Inspiration

Finding inspiration from a variety of sources is one way to find the perfect colour for your interior if you don't have access to a colour wheel. This should happen even before you enter a paint store. Start by using what is already present in the space. Look at the carpeting, your decor, including the artwork, and the upholstery of your furniture.

For colour inspiration, look through magazines and other design blogs. To make sure your colour scheme blends with the rest of your interior, creating a mood board could be useful.

3. Use Neutral Paint Colours to Your Advantage

Regardless of whether you choose neutral paint colours, they don't necessarily have to be modest. By using the colours in inventive ways, you may energise your neutral colour scheme. A neutral-coloured striped wall adds loads of flare while maintaining the space's laid-back appearance.

4. Create a Focal Point With an Accent Wall

Painting an "accent wall" in a vibrant colour where the other walls are white or neutral can provide a dramatic, modern edge to spaces that are otherwise very featureless.

5. Use Artwork to Find Your Paint Colour

The key to choosing colours for an interior is to look at the artwork already present in your home. The majority of residential painters in Sydney create their own colour schemes for their pieces and are masters of light and colour. By picking hues from a favourite work of art, you can profit from their expertise. To establish a colour palette, you can also pick complementary hues from the same piece of artwork.

6. Evaluate Your Paint Colours Before Making a Choice

The most crucial step in choosing the perfect colours for your home is to sample paint colours. You need to get the colour of your project correct from the start because you will be investing lots of paint and numerous hours in it.

Consult a Colour Expert

A colour consultant can guide you if you want to change your colour scheme and are unsure of the best interior paint colours to use.

Brainstorm ideas and illustrations to share with your colour consultant before your appointment so they can understand what you have in store.
