How to Choose an Appropriate Paint Color for your Room

Adding a splash of color into one's room can sometimes be a tough decision as you'd come across limitless options. Before deciding to which color scheme to choose, do make sure to think twice about the decision that you'll be making as color plays a vital role in creating a mood for the room.

In choosing the right color, consider the furniture design that you will be placing in the room for the decision making to be easier. Listed below are a few tips from HGTV and House Beautiful website to help you choose on what color scheme you should be using.

Rely on the Largest Furniture

As per the HGTV website, base your color scheme on the design and motif of the largest furniture or accessory in the room. It was also mentioned that base the color in the largest pattern scheme as it plays a great visual influence on the room.

Start with the Living Room

In making a decision for the entire house, make sure to start off with the most normal area in the room, which is the living room, then work your way down to the other rooms as the living room would set the mode and the tone of the entire household.  

Once you've decided on what color to paint the living room, it is easier to decide on the kitchen and the entry way's color as you'd already have an area that you can pattern other room colors from.

Stick with Continuity

It is important to have continuity when it comes to merging colors. If you'd paint the living room blue, look for the color scheme that would match the color blue in painting the rest of the house.  

Mixing up color patterns can work wonders in setting up a personality for a certain room, but it can be tricky. Do make sure not to overdo it.
