Choosing the Right Color Palette
Interior color choices are highly subjective, which means there’s no right or wrong way to select a color scheme for your space. You don’t necessarily have to follow design theories or the color wheel to create a successful combination. The most important consideration is finding a color palette that feels right to you. The following tips on choosing an interior color scheme will help you fill rooms with shades that beautifully reflect your personal style.
How to Choose an Interior Color Scheme
When planning a room’s color scheme, resist the temptation to select the paint color first. Instead, because paint is inexpensive and can be matched to virtually any color, it’s best to start your color search with room elements that are less flexible, such as furniture, fabrics, tile, or wallpaper. Then base your paint colors on those elements.
Here are some ideas on how to narrow down your color choices.
1. Find Inspiration for Your Color Scheme
2. Consider Color Value
3. Plan Your Home’s Color Scheme
4. Consider How Light Affects Colors
