The paint color scheme is an essential part of any renovation or overhaul. A suitable paint color scheme will complement the room’s architectural style and feel of the room, and it will also reflect your personality.

The ability to choose a suitable color scheme should be the #1 skill of every renovator. However, choosing a suitable color scheme is easier said than done, and it requires experience, a sense of style and certainty, and the ability to mix and match the right colors. Here are some tips from Jeff Schultz Painting to help you choose the right color for your home renovation.

1. Begin with your color inspiration.

Make a list of your favorite colors. You might think about the things or places that appeal to you and inspire you the most. Choose colors that remind you of them. They could be a cafe, a beach, mountain scenery, a panoramic landscape or a favorite comfy couch. Any object or place will do as long as it invokes positive, inspirational feelings.

There are many options to choose from when deciding on a suitable color scheme. There are magazines and catalogs, and the internet contains a plethora of information. You can also benefit from the advice and experience of others using social media sites and home design websites.  

2. Use color psychology.

Artists, designers, and marketers are well aware of color psychology. Color psychology involves studying our emotional responses to color and how colors can affect our perceptions, behavior, and moods. 

To get a general idea about color psychology and to help with the paint color decision, you can learn the basics from the professionals:

  • Maxwell Gillingham Ryan, co-founder of Apartment Therapy and editor, says that dining room colors should be warm and recommends daffodil yellow and coral pink. He also recommended that bedrooms and private spaces, such as home offices and bedrooms, be painted in cooler colors like sky or violet.
  • Debbie Zimmer, a specialist in paint quality, stated that:
  • Red is good for cooking and dining, as it increases appetite and blood pressure.
  • Because they are associated with nature, blue and green can have a calming effect and help you feel at ease. Bedrooms are the best places to use these colors.
  • Children are more likely to like purple than adults.
  • According to Behr, a paint supplier company, yellow is warm and inviting and can stimulate the brain. This makes yellow a good choice for study spaces and work spaces. Depending on the color, tone and tint, orange can either give a “welcome home” vibe or its opposite. 
  • Allison. S. Cremillion claims that orange can invoke feelings of energy and enthusiasm and can enhance feelings of vitality and happiness. The color orange portrays energy yet at the same time it is inviting.

3. Use neutral colors.

Before you decide on the color palette, think about the room’s function and what feelings you want the room to portray. People react emotionally to colors, and experts recommend erring on the side of safety and using neutral colors when painting a room.

When painting interior rooms, it is generally a good idea to avoid using bold colors such as vibrant reds that invoke feelings of passion and energy.

4. Know your undertones.

An overtone color is the dominant or solid color, and the undertone is a color that is created by mixing two overtone (dominant) colors. For example, you can mix blue and green to create turquoise.   

For a minimalist look, you can use undertones in a variety of ways. You can try a striped wall or a white ceiling with pastel walls. Warm (yellow, rust, brown, or pink) or cool (green, gray, or blue) whites are great for making a room appear larger and more spacious, while soft golden yellows create a warm inviting feeling.

5. Use testers to get a sample of paint colors.

Remember to test the paint color before purchasing. Choosing the perfect color paint will necessitate testing what the color looks like on a hard surface using a paint tester.

Looking at the color on the label on the can of paint won’t give you an accurate idea of what the paint will look like on a hard surface.

Before purchasing paint, most stores will have testers available for different shades and colors. Most testers are affordable and available for most brands.

Key Takeaway

Understanding color psychology and how a particular color can affect us emotionally is an integral part of choosing what color paint you want to purchase. Professional painting companies like Houston Texas Painters, cypress tx can advise you on the most suitable color scheme, do the painting quickly and efficiently, and save you time and money.
