A good rule of thumb when lost in the sea choosing an interior paint colour for your home renovation project, is to start with the colors you love. It’s also smart to make note of the colors you absolutely do not want in your home, to weed out and further refine your selection. By starting with the colors you enjoy being surrounded by and looking at, you are ready to build the base for your decorating style and furnishing.
If you’re still lost, don’t hesitate to reach out to our design experts and schedule a free, in-showroom consultation. We are ready to help you and guide you in making the best decision for your home’s interiors using our wide selection of Benjamin Moore paints North Vancouver.
Now, let’s take a look at how you can go about making a perfect choice.
Find Colour Inspiration
First and foremost, find some resources for color inspiration with Benjamin Moore paints North Vancouver. The Benjamin Moore website, for example, offers a resource for picking the perfect color for your home, whether interior or exterior. You can also find inspiration in magazines, both print and online, and the catalogs in our Home Makeover Centre showroom. You can also use Pinterest to find thousands of ideas in guiding your selection.
Create Mood Boards on Pinterest
After getting some inspiration, it’s time to create some mood boards. As simple as they seem, mood boards are used by world-leading professionals and designers to visually lay out their ideas. You can create a board for individual colors you like or separate boards for different rooms in the house with the colors you prefer.
Use Colour Theory as a Guide
Learning color theory is essential in knowing how to combine the wall colors in your home for a complementary color palette. You can easily coordinate your favorite tones and colors using an online platform like Adobe Colour to help guide your decision-making process.
Pull Inspiration From Your Surroundings
Inspiration is everywhere, you just have to take notice. Whether you want to bring the outdoors inside with muted greens and calming, neutral beiges or use your favorite piece of art for bold, striking colors, it’s important to pull inspiration from your surroundings. Have a throw, rug, pillow, or duvet you really love the colors of? Start from there.
Don’t Be Afraid of Dark Colours
We are so often told that we should steer clear of dark colors because they close up space, but when done right, they can actually open it up and add plenty of visual interest. Did you find a paint color you really like in a light tone? Consider it in a darker version. Paint strips almost always come in gradient tonalities of the same color.
