Designer's Guide To Selecting The Perfect Wall Color In Six Simple Steps
Color definitely gives life to anything. It is used to express emotions, thoughts, and energy among other things. In a particular space or room, color provides the background for any design element.
Selecting the best color for your wall can make or break the overall look and ambience of the room. So it is important that you make the right choices when it comes to wall color. Most of the time, any accessories or furniture you place inside the room will be dictated by the color you paint on your walls.
The color of your selected wall decor, whether wire wall art, metal wall sculpture, butterflies metal wall art or framed pictures will likewise be affected by your wall color selection.
There are certain tips you can follow to help you make that choice and to create a color perfect wall.
Bring samples
If you have a pre-conceived idea about the color that you want for your walls, then you can invariably select that color. Nonetheless, we oftentimes choose colors based upon an inspiring fabric, painting or paper.
To help you get a particular color though a reference material or if you want to know which color will work best on certain fabrics then it is advisable that you bring a sample of your reference material. This will give the paint store or hardware store an idea on what shade you are referring to. A textile swatch can be a good reference material. You may also consider bringing with you a photograph of your inspiration. By doing this, you will are able to choose the colors of the other elements in your room or space like the bed linens, curtain, rugs or art wall decor. Just remember that wall paint color may not end up with the same shade as that of your reference material since paint solution reacts differently to materials.
Painting the trim
Always make sure to give contrast in colors. This will give your space depth and texture. Do not paint a room all red from floor to ceiling! The best way to add contrast in colors without having to paint a large portion of the room in different colors is through painting the trims. Paint the door frames, window panes, or moldings in the space. In this way, you are introducing another color in the room and at the same time giving you that contrast.
Furniture or Wall First
You can choose a wall color in two different ways. First, you can either choose the wall color first and get the rest of the items in the room later on it basing the colors on your wall. You may also opt to do it the other way around. You can pick out your furniture first and then choose the wall color you want.
Finishing the walls
A wall paint color is not finished just by painting the entire walls. The finish is a crucial factor in wall painting. A finish works to bring out the color of the wall, giving it texture or shine. You can choose to use a semi-gloss, flat or matte finishes on your wall.
Choose a "base" color
A base color is the undertone hue of any color. Before selecting wall paint, be certain that you understand the base color of the paint. A paint can have orange, red, green, or brown undertones to mention a few. The subdued colors that go with other colors near the color in the color spectrum. For example, a paint with orange undertones will complement great with brown, green, pink etc.
Study the colors
Although it may seem ridiculous, it is advisable that you study or have understanding of the colors. Once you have understood how colors work, why some colors work well together more than with another and why it brings out certain emotions then it will be easier to decide which wall color you should get.
Painting your walls with a fresh new coat is easy enough work. However, choosing and deciding which color to paint can be a little scary. As long as you understand how colors work then you will pass this project with flying colors.
