When it comes to painting your home’s interior, the options can seem endless. Choosing paint colors for home interior redecorating projects can be daunting. How do you choose the perfect paint color for your walls? What if you don’t know where to start? Don’t worry, in this blog post, we will discuss some simple tips for choosing the right interior paint colors for your home. Whether you are looking for a new bedroom wall color or simply want to freshen up your walls with a new coat of paint, these tips will help you make the best decision possible.
Color Theory In Interior Design
Understanding a bit of color theory may help you choose colors that work together to create a cohesive look. Color theory is the study of how colors interact with one another, and it can be helpful when choosing different colors for your walls. For example, if you want a room to feel calming and warm, try pairing muted blues and greens with neutral tones like beige or taupe. Or if you want a more vibrant space, pair bright oranges, pinks and yellows with contrastingly cool shades of blue or green.
When it comes to choosing interior paint colors and selecting the perfect paint color, remember that all colors come in a range of hues and shades. For instance, warm colors such as yellows and oranges can be used in either bright or muted tones. Darker colors like blues and greens can also be used with brighter or darker shades. Experimenting with different combinations of these colors can help you find the best color combination for your room.
Ultimately, when choosing paint colors for home interior redecorating projects, trust your instincts and choose a paint color yourself. Take some time to explore different shades other colors and hues in person before making any decisions. Also it may help you to talk to a color consultant at your local paint store. This will help you find the perfect paint color for your home project.

Trial & Error
As I begin my own apartment redecorating and redesigning phases, I’m finding that the most difficult part thus far, has been choosing colors that are in the white and off white family! There are so many options to choose, and paint colors can be so very nuanced that it’s almost challenging. I’m not even talking about bold color choices, I’m talking about the fifty shades of white, and the very nuanced undertones that exist in both warm and cool colors.
White walls can be seemingly unextraordinary, but a safe choice. However, an off white or a neutral color on your walls can totally change the atmosphere in a room. For example, if you feel like your room is looking a little too stark and cold, an off white with beige undertones may warm up the space. Conversely, if your room is feeling a little too warm, an off white with gray undertones can cool the space down. You can choose the same color but it can have different undertones that may not look like much until it’s all over your walls.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with color. Try testing out different colors on your walls before committing to a full paint job. There are so many online tools that allow you to upload photos of the space and virtually test out different wall colors in the photo. This helps you get an idea of what each color will look like before painting your entire room. Consider the different types of shades too. Do you want a muted shade or do you tend to gravitate towards bright colors?
Accent Walls and Focal Points
One of the most popular trends in interior design is to create an accent wall. This can be done by painting one wall a bolder color than the rest of the room, creating a focal point for the space. This is also great when you don’t want to commit to a certain color scheme throughout your entire home but still want it to have personality. A soft blue or green can really pop against white walls and make any room feel fresh and inviting! Just remember not to go overboard with too many colors in one room, as this could become overwhelming.
Make A Small Space Feel Larger
Neutrals, whites and off whites are great choices for small rooms. These colors can make a room feel larger and more spacious, without feeling stark or dull. Light grays and beiges can also help create the illusion of more space in a room. If you do want to add some color to a smaller room, opt for one bolder accent color like navy blue or emerald green, and keep the rest of the color palette very light and neutral.
Whites are also fantastic for emphasizing the negative space in a room. By painting any trim, doors and windows in a light color, you can highlight these features and make the room feel larger. This is great for many contemporary or minimalist spaces that want to use the highly reflective negative space as an element in design.
Finally, if you’re looking to make an impact with your paint job, consider investing in higher-quality paints. Higher-grade paints are more durable and cover better than lower quality options. This will help create a professional look that lasts longer than cheaper solutions.
These simple tips should help you find the perfect paint color choices for your home. With patience and intentionality, you can have beautiful walls that make your home look amazing! Don’t forget to test out some colors on the wall before committing to paint color choice for anything.
Paint Brands
Finally, when selecting your paint, make sure you’re choosing one that is reputable and has good reviews. Two trusted brands are Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. Both offer a wide range of colors and finishes to choose from, as well as helpful tips on how to select the right color for your project. You can usually find both options at Lowes and Home Depot. Be sure to read up on their products before making any decisions so you can find the perfect paint for your home!
With a little bit of research and experimentation, you can create beautiful spaces with just the right colors. Whether it’s an accent wall or entire room, take some time to consider different shades and hues before settling on one.
Trust me, getting past wall paint colors and trim colors will be much easier when you take the following into consideration:
- Choose colors that will match your existing furniture and decor. Do not choose a color just because it looks nice on its own. Consider how it will look with the rest of your home’s decor as well.
- Take into account the light in the room you’re painting, natural or artificial lighting can affect how colors appear. Paint a small section of wall so you can see how different paint colors look under different types of lights before committing to one color for an entire room.
- When selecting paint finishes, remember that glossier finishes tend to reflect more light and make spaces look bigger, whereas flat paints absorb more light and help to hide
Before you even begin shopping for paint, take a few minutes to think about the atmosphere that you want your home to have. If you’re looking for a space to relax and unwind, consider more subtle colors and muted hues. If you are wanting a vibrant and exciting room, choose brighter colors.
Once you have identified the overall mood of your home, start exploring your color schemes and palettes. Check out websites like design inspiration or Pinterest which can offer great inspiration when it comes to creating color palettes and finding paint shades that will work together in harmony. Another great way is to look at fabrics and accent pieces in the same tones so that they all come together nicely.
To ensure that you make the best decision possible, here are some tips to help guide you:
1. Start with Mood Boards:
Before committing to a particular color, create mood boards! These will enable you to visualize how the colors look in combination with each other. Mood color inspiration boards are also great for getting ideas from magazines, friends and family members, or even Pinterest. This is a great way to get an idea of what colors will work well together before taking the plunge and painting your walls!
2. Look at Sample Paint Colors:
Once you have narrowed down your choices pick paint colors based on your mood board, it’s time to start looking at sample paint colors in the paint store.
3.Consider Your Personal Style:
Everyone has a unique personal style, and this should be taken into consideration when selecting paint colors for your home. Do you prefer more muted tones or would you like to go bold? Choosing the right colors will help create an inviting atmosphere in your home that reflects your own individual personality.
4. Look at Your Home’s Existing Features:
Existing features such as furniture, accent pieces, carpets, and window treatments can all influence what kind of paint color(s) you select for adjoining rooms in your home. Take these elements into account when considering which shades you would like to use in each room of your house.
5. Test Out Paint Colors:
Don’t forget to test out the colors you are thinking about using. Get sample sizes of paint in your desired hues and paint large swatches on your wall so you can actually see how they look in the space. This will help you make sure that the colors you choose look great, rather than just guessing. And also a little hack for you is get yourself a few favorite paint colors as large samples, from the store and then you can combine them to create your own perfect shade.
