When selecting a color to paint a room, think about the colors you like and the mood that you associate with those colors.
Whether it’s the shade of your favorite article of clothing, the tint of a page from your favorite childhood picture book, or the color of your café au lait, if it’s a hue that makes you feel happy, comfortable, or cozy, it may be suitable for room in your home.
There are a few basics to remember when choosing a paint color.
Bold colors catch your eye and jump out at you, and may make a room seem smaller. Warm colors, those in the red, yellow, and orange families, also create the illusion of moving toward you, and may also make a room seem smaller. On the other hand, these colors may make your room seem warmer, cozier, and more intimate.
Quiet, softer colors are more subtle and can make an area appear larger. The cool colors in the blue and green families have the effect of making an area more open and airy. These colors are ideal to create the illusion of space, especially if you don’t have that much of it!
