✅Paint Tips    

🌿1. Start with the Feeling You Want to Create:

• Before choosing a specific color, think about how you want the space to feel.  The emotional tone of the room should guide your palette.
  • Soft neutrals create calm and versatility
  • blues and greens feel airy and restorative
  • warmer tones create comfort and connection
  • deeper tones add drama and sophistication

☀️2. Always Test Paint in Natural & Artificial Light:

• Lighting dramatically changes paint color throughout the day.  Always test large samples.  This helps avoid costly surprises.
  • near windows
  • on multiple walls
  • during different times of day

🎨3. Consider Undertones Carefully:

• Undertones are what make paint selection tricky.  A “neutral” may actually lean toward other colors:
  • pink
  • green
  • yellow
  • blue
  • violet

🏡4. Create Connection Between Rooms:

• Select colors that consider the whole home for a well-connected palette.
  • better flow
  • visual calm
  • timelessness
  • and more professionally designed feel

✨5. Don’t Forget Trim, Ceilings & Finishes:

• Walls are only one part of the equation.  The finish and surrounding elements also affect the final result – all working together to shape how the paint ultimately appears.
  • trim color
  • cabinetry
  • flooring
  • countertops
  • lighting
  • sheen level

🌿6. Choose Timeless Trends:

• Trends can be inspiring, but the balancing freshness with longevity has the most success.  A timeless foundation gives your home flexibility as styles evolve. 
  • accent walls
  • furnishings
  • art
  • decor
  • textiles
