How to Find the Perfect Hues for Your Home

Not sure where to start? Take a look at a color wheel to see which colors you gravitate towards and build your color scheme from there. Better yet, go to your local hardware store and select paint samples to bring home to get a feel for the colors that are best suited for your space.

With a seemingly endless amount of colors to choose from, try limiting yourself to just three colors to incorporate throughout your home. Not only will this make things much easier, but it will also ensure consistency and coordination in the design of your home.

A color can completely define the mood of a room. Cool blues promote a feeling of serenity while a bright white can create a feeling of cleanliness and simplicity. If you're looking to create a certain feeling in each room, choose colors that will create the appropriate mood.

Furniture usually makes up the focal point of each room. This is a great starting point for finding the right shades. Have a beautiful oriental rug in your living room? Select some colors from the rug to then build a color palette for that room or your home. Flattering the existing elements of each room with paint is a simple way to find the best colors for your home.

Looking to add some pizzazz to your paint job? Create focal points in your home by using a bold or contrasting color to the rest of your walls. For example, a short wall by a staircase can flaunt a different shade than its neighboring walls to add life and color to a room. Additionally, bold or contrasting colors can be used to cozy up a small space. It can be tempting to breakout some white paint to open up a small space. However, it's the perfect place to dip into some color and get creative!
