How To Pick The Right Paint

Now that you're ready to refresh your interior with a new coat of paint, how do you pick the right stuff? Paints are available in a variety of textures and a rainbow of colors. Let's consider ways to choose the right paint to color your home.

How Does It Feel?

Paint comes in different finishes. A matte finish or flat finish is better at camouflaging wall imperfections. A glossy paint finish reflects more light and creates a surface that's easily wiped clean.

What About The Rest of Your Room?

Consider the vision you and your designer have for the room. What other elements are you using such as wallpaper, carpeting, lighting, flooring and rugs? Based on the fabrics and designs used in the room, choose a paint color that compliments your desired décor.

Review The Spectrum

Color cards, color mixing and sample strips make it easy to look at the full spectrum of a certain color. Carefully review the samples to get the color you imagined to coordinate with your color scheme.  And last but most important, buy sample containers of the paint and apply it to areas in the room so you can see the actual color(s) on the walls before making your final decision(s).
