Choosing Paint Colors
Do you need help choosing paint colors for your home? So often, I see people asking in online forums for help choosing a paint color:
“Please share your suggestions for a nice blue for my son’s room!”
“Does someone have a favorite warm grey color to suggest for my living room?”
“What’s your favorite off-white for trim?”
“Which of these 6 paint swatches should I use on my bedroom walls?”
People ask, and SO many people are quick to answer with SO many photos and color swatches and opinions. It’s overwhelming! How can you choose? Everyone who responds is looking at different devices with different screens, so the colors you see and the colors they see aren’t the same. No one sees your room and your décor and your natural light conditions or light fixtures. No one sees your style preferences, but they are ready to share theirs. I love my online community! I’m not knocking this method, sometimes it works really well. But sometimes it doesn’t.
You might think a professional color consultation isn’t necessary. You might think that paying for professional advice is too expensive. But I think what’s too expensive is paying for paint, hiring a painter to do the work (or even spending your time to do it yourself) and then realizing it’s wrong, you don’t like it and you want to start over.
I am a lifelong painter with a design degree. My business is decorative painting, but COLOR is the basis for every project I do. I can look at your room as it relates to everything in and around it, including you! I can look at your entire house and help you develop a palette that works throughout. I can give you suggestions, options, swatches, and instructions for your painter. I can even give you a lesson in color theory!
But the best part is that because I am a decorative painter, your flat fee will be credited toward any decorative painting project you decide to do in your home within a year! Now THAT’S a great value. So, look through the rest of my website for some great ideas, but if all you really want are solid paint colors, I can help with that too!
