Finding the Best Color for Your Home

Very few individuals realize just how important color schemes are for a home until it finally comes time to make some changes to the appearance of the rooms and the outside of the house. There are nearly as many opinions on colors and coloring options as there are homes themselves, and that is why this process can rapidly become a confusing one. Fortunately, any person that is currently looking to change the appearance of their home can stick to a few simple steps in order to reinvent the inside and outside of their building.

One of the most common and attractive ways to find the best color for a home is to use the colors architecturally. This means picking a color scheme or tones that play off the current structure of the home. Within a room, it is important to take a look at the defining features on the walls and floors. Ceiling medallions, build-in bookcases, arched doorways, windows, and the doors themselves should all be considered.

For a more dramatic approach, two unique colors can be used to play off one another with the architecture. This can be slightly more difficult and it is often recommended to get a second opinion and refrain from using two clashing colors or two colors that will be difficult to find with matching furniture. Many will decide to go with a base tone, such as cream or eggshell, and then look for various exciting colors to add excitement and personality. The base colors are most usually used as the minor accent on the molding or trim, yet many modern homes now use these colors as the main tone for the room and then accent them with a brighter color.

For individuals that are still having a difficult time selecting a color, the answer may already be in the home itself. If a decision cannot be made, many experts suggest that an individual chooses three objects that are currently in their home that they already enjoy the color of. These objects could be a bed set, a couch, or even an outfit. Owners can then use these three objects, walk them throughout the house, and begin to come up with ideas on how those colors would work in the room.

It is important to have some notion of a color scheme before ever heading out to buy painting supplies or contact a professional painting company. Owners should look through the main colors and begin deciding which colors can be completely left out and which tones are desirable.

The process of selecting the perfect color may seem like a disheartening one that is irreversible, yet this choice can be broken down into a few simple steps and owners can refresh their building in no time at all.
