MASTER THE ART OF CHOOSING THE RIGHT PAINT COLOUR TO AVOID MAKING EXPENSIVE MISTAKES
Choosing the perfect paint colours for your home can be a daunting task. Many people have faced the frustration of painting a room, only to discover that the colour they selected looks completely different on the walls than it did on the paint swatch. These expensive and wrong paint colour mistakes can be avoided with some careful planning and a little guidance. That's where the "Get Colour Confident" online course comes in. In this blog post, I'll discuss common paint colour mistakes and show you how this course can help you put together perfect colour palettes that suit your personality and style.
The Costly Mistakes
Ignoring Lighting
One of the most common paint colour mistakes is ignoring the impact of lighting in your space. The same colour can look vastly different in various lighting conditions, such as natural daylight, artificial light, or evening light. Make sure you look at the colour sample at different times of the day and with different light options, ensuring your chosen paint colour looks just as beautiful in every scenario. Also consider if your room is north or south facing as this will affect how different colours will feel and look. You want to opt for warmer undertones in north and east facing rooms and cooler undertones for south and west facing rooms.
Skipping the Sample Test
Buying pots of paint before testing a sample can be an expensive error. Swatches often appear different on the walls, and it's essential to test the paint in your space to see how it reacts to your surroundings. I recommend painting large pieces of paper or card with your test paint samples so you can move them round the room and check on them throughout the day.
Disregarding Personal Style
Choosing a paint colour solely based on current trends or recommendations without considering your personal style can result in an expensive mistake. The "Get Colour Confident" course focuses on helping you understand your unique style and personality, allowing you to select colours that resonate with you and your home's aesthetics and to help you create the right ‘feeling’ in your home.
