Color coordination
Choosing colors for any room can be overwhelming. Going into Benjamin Moore for instance, you'll find more than 3500 colors, shades and nuances for all your interior and exterior projects.
So where do you start ? Well, walk into the room and think about what the way you want to feel as you enter it. Go for light colors if you want to relax after a long and stressful day, they cut out visual stimulation and promote calm and balance. Dark colors are most likely to appeal to your emotions.
Warm and cool spaces
Choosing colors for a room can be exhausting. Generally reds, oranges and yellows encourage socializing. Greens, purples and blues create calming, tranquil and relaxing spaces.
Choosing to go light or dark is similar to going to the hair salon, literally. After that, get tester jars to get a preview of the color before painting the room. In the room, apply paint to only a section of the wall about a 1 foot wide and 1 foot high, in a shape of a square. If you have more colors you need to try, paint more squares. After a few days, it will be easier to make your selection. (#benjaminmoore #colorsamples)
Your project may be a bathroom, kitchen cabinets, a basement, an entire house, an entrance door, a deck, a garage or a bedroom. Choose a line of product and check the specifications for indoor or outdoor. A budget for an indoor painting project will probably include the ceiling, walls, trims and baseboards.
