Paint colors. How do you choose better paint colors? Painting can be a great way to customize your house and make it into a home. Whether you’re just adding a splash of color or redoing entire rooms to match your favorites. After all, a fresh coat of paint is a great way to take a home that you bought and really make it yours. Unfortunately, not everyone is great at picking the best colors for their home. Some homeowners may even wonder why they were allowed to go near a paint store at all. This doesn’t have to be the case, however.
There are a number of things that you can do to find paint colors that better match your home. First, you can pick up paint swatches. Then, get some small cans to test in different colors. Some folks even use software to see how different colors will look in your rooms. The big thing is making sure that you know how to take what you’ve learned and make your rooms look their best. Here are a few tips that may help with that.

Paint Colors – Things to Consider
There are several things that you should think about before picking out a specific paint. One of the big mistakes people make is stopping to look at the colors of your existing décor. Start there even if you don’t have a specific theme. There may be predominant colors that you should keep in mind when choosing paint. Besides color, look to see about brightness. Does your home have a brighter or a darker feel? Then, do you want to continue or contrast that?
You should also consider the type of finish you want on your walls. This can vary by paint colors as well as by room types. You might want colors in everything from flat and eggshell. These generally are for places like bedrooms or living areas. Or, you may want high-gloss paints that are typically used for trim and accents as well as bathrooms or kitchens. The finish affects the shininess or flatness of the colors. It can also affect how resistant the paint is to stains and dirt, with flatter colors being harder to clean while higher sheen paints are easier.

Finding the Right Color
There are other considerations when it comes to actually choosing a color, too. Ideally, you should pick up swatches of multiple colors that you like. Then, bring them home to see how each one looks with your lighting and home environment. Then, get a few samples of the colors you like the most. Take these home and actually put some paint on the walls to see how each one looks once dried.
Be sure not to put these sample bits too close together. In doing so it might be harder to tell which you actually like. Perhaps distracted by a number of samples right next to each other. Larger areas are better than small spots. Finally, if you’re doing the entire room, you should try different colors on different walls.

Paint Colors – Too much
Now that you have just the right color, the next challenge arises. How much is too much? This can mean 2 things. First, if you really like that neon green, do you really want a full wall of it? Or might it be better as an accent in a smaller area? Also, if you have a safe neutral color, do you have too much?
Yes, a neutral color can be soothing. However, if every single room is tan, it can get boring or monotonous. This is especially bad if you are looking to sell your home. Buyers view homes on the Internet. If your home has 20 photos where the colors all look the same, the buyer loses interest.
