Are you excited to add some color to your walls? Finding the right colors for your home can sometimes feel a bit like potion-making. But don’t worry! It can be a lot of fun to select colors once you know some tips and tricks! As home interior designers at ProArch, we think it’s essential for everyone to have a home they truly love that reflects who they are. Now, let’s look at how to choose the colors that will make your home feel perfect!

What’s the Big Deal About Home Interior Designers?

You may ask yourself, “Why do I need a home interior designer when I can simply select paint samples?” Well, a home interior designer is like a superhero for your home. We understand how colors, materials, furniture ideas, and light all work together to give a particular feeling. We also try to minimize mistakes and save our clients money while creating the most beautiful and comfortable space. In other words, we take your ideas and create a beautiful, real-world space that works for you.

Let’s Dive Into Colors

Choosing colors for your home isn’t just about picking your favorite shade. Colors have superpowers! They can make a room feel bigger, smaller, cozier, brighter, or even calmer.

Step 1: Find Your Inner Vibe

First, think about how you want each room to feel. Do you want your bedroom to be a peaceful retreat where you can relax after a long day at school? Perhaps you want your living room to feel energetic and friendly for playing games with friends.

• Relaxing colors: Blues, greens, and soft grays often make a room feel calm and peaceful.
• Energetic colors: Reds, oranges, and yellows can make a space feel warm and lively. Use these in places where you want excitement!
• Neutral colors: Whites, beiges, and light grays are like a blank canvas. They make rooms feel open and allow your furniture and decor to pop.

Step 2: Look Around You (for real)

Look at your favorite clothes, best-loved art, or pictures of places you love to hang out. What colors do you see again and again? This can usually provide you with some insight into the colors you most love and the colors you feel the best around. For instance, if you keep finding earthy greens and blues are your go-to colors to wear, these would likely be a nice fit for a calm bedroom.

Step 3: Think about how light will work in the room

Natural light can be a factor too! A bright room with full sun may make a bold color feel too bold, whereas a dark room with too many dark corners may benefit from a lighter color to feel airier. In any case, see your paint samples in the light of your room at different times of day. You will likely notice how different they can look!

Step 4: Consider Your Existing Furniture

If you have a large and comfy blue couch, you want wall colors that work well with blue. You can either choose closely related colors (different shades of blue, etc.) or colors that contrast nicely (like soft cream or warm gray). This will create a cohesive look.

Step 5: Remember the “Rule of Three” (It’s Natural)

This is not a hard and fast rule, but rather a useful tip! As a general rule, it is better to stick to three colors in a room. One main color (your wall color), one secondary color (maybe a rug or a substantial piece of furniture), and one accent color (pillows, plants, or small decorations). Three creates balance and interest.

Step 6: Get Some Samples

Go to a home hardware store and get small sample pots of your favorite colors. Before you paint the entire wall, paint a small patch on the walls in the room. Live with them for a few days. Look at them in the morning light, evening light, and when your lamps are lit. This small step saves big headaches later!
