It is becoming very trendy, with the color oftentimes referred to as appearing like “yesterday’s oatmeal.” Paint is relatively inexpensive, not to difficult to apply and can have a huge impact on the overall aesthetic of your home. Color selection daunting task, but we have a few tips below to help you with the process.

2.   You can purchase a small paint can, some companies sell inexpensive samples—a try before you buy. You would be surprised how often a color can look good on a paint chip and horrible on your walls. You can either paint samples of squares onto your wall to compare a few colors. Or you can paint onto pieces of white poster board. You can tape these paint chips onto different parts of your room to get an overall idea of what it will look like at different times of the day.

3.   The type of bulb you use can also affect color. If you can change out your in ceiling fixtures to “daylight” bulbs, they will help to provide a bright, general lighting. Natural light can also affect the way that light is perceived. So keep this in mind when viewing the images below. What looks good in one space, may not look as good in another.
