CHOOSING THE RIGHT PAINT COLORS
COLOR PSYCHOLOGY
Paint might not have emotions, but their color will evoke
emotions! Warm tones like red and orange energize,
while cool tones like blue and green create a calming effect.
Consider the room's purpose when choosing colors. Use warm
colors in social areas like dining rooms and kitchens. Consider
cooler hues in private spaces like bedrooms and home offices.
COHESIVE COLOR SCHEME
Follow the 60-30-10 rule.
60% dominant color (usually the walls), 30% secondary color (upholstery or flooring),
and 10% accent color (accessories or artwork).
Start with less flexible elements and choose your paint colors on these foundational
pieces. Things like existing furniture, fabrics, tiles, or wallpaper.
TEST FIRST
Paint will look different depending on lighting conditions. Make sure to see
how your choices look in the morning, afternoon, and night.

USE EXISTING DECOR
Pull colors from your favorite decor. For example, photo's, vases, throw pillows.
These pieces can inspire your wall colors.
Explore trends, but prioritize
what resonates with your personal style.
BALANCE THE BOLD
If you opt for a bold accent wall, balance it with neutral colors elsewhere.
Remember, white ceilings and trim create a timeless look!
