How to Choose the Right Paint Color

for your Home

When you have finally made the decision to have your home re-decorated, there are a million tiny details that you will eventually need to decide upon. Are you going to be removing any walls to increase the size of your living space? Does that sofa really need to stay, or can you finally persuade your other half to get rid of it? And what is the point of having no storage now that you actually want to be tidy? But of course, the first and potentially most important choice must be made: what color paint will you use?

The color of paint you choose for a room is the key to setting the “right” atmosphere or tone of your décor. Too many people blindly choose the first color that they see and like, and then paint their entire home with that same paint! To avoid a color hangover, it’s best to put some thought into the current and future use of each room.

As a local house painter in Conshohocken, PA, Patch and Paint Pros has helped 100’s of clients with interior painting projects and color selections. To help you get started we’ve put together these 3 Simple Questions to help determine the right paint color for you:

3 Simple Questions to Help Determine The Right Paint Color

What do I want to do in this room?
Ask yourself what the room that you are going to have painted is used for. Is it a bedroom, that may need calming colors to help little ones sleep, or is it the kitchen, where you want a vibrant and alert ambiance? This should help you decide whether you want a ‘hot’ color or a ‘cool’ color.
When am I going to use this room?
Think about what time of day you typically use this room, and how much light it receives when you do use it. For example, north facing rooms that you will normally be using during the evening will need light and bright colors to help lift the shadows from the walls – whereas you won’t have the same problem in a south facing room that receives lots of natural light.
Where is this room in my home?
The last important thing to consider is your home as a whole. Is this room an open space that flows openly into another room o? If the room you will be painting is open, like a kitchen or common living area you may want to consider how the wall color you choose will blend in with the color choices of the connecting rooms. In this situation it may be best to choose a neutral or a similar paint color to the other rooms to avoid a clash of colors and designs. If it is a stand-alone room such as a bathroom, bedroom, or office you have more freedom to use bold colors or even an accent wall to create a unique living space.

Gio and Manny did an incredible job on our living room, foyer and dining room. They took great care in patching any holes and uneven areas, and the paint job is beautiful. They were very clean, making sure any mess was cleaned up at the end of each day. Friendly and courteous to boot! What more could you ask for? We are thrilled with the results! Highly recommend Patch and Paint pros!

Absolutely fabulous job done by Brian and Eric!! Old, damaged walls and ceilings were a challenge and they conquered them. Beautiful patching, some new drywall install and a perfect paint job. I can’t recommend them enough. Especially pleased with their demeanor and professional attitude. They clear take pride in their work and are artists!! Really easy to work with.

They did an amazing job smoothing out a previously poorly done ceiling, redoing drywall then repainting our master bedroom & bathroom after we had three giant windows removed! The quality of the work was top notch, every worker was respectful of our schedules and the space, and our belongings were kept super clean. Highly recommend!
