Choosing the perfect paint color for your home can be a difficult task. The color of the walls in your home sets the tone and mood for years to come. Winter is a great time to work inside your home. The weather is less than stellar but provides perfect humidity for you to take on a painting job. When it’s done, you’ll get double benefits, a sparkling new home for the remainder of winter, and free time (when you would have painted before) when spring comes. It is also a great time to choose cozy winter colors! The colors you are drawn to at this time usually bring you the most peace and comfort. Here are our painters’ tips for choosing your winter color this year.

How to Choose the Best Paint Color

Look At Your Home and Furniture

Most people tend to want to choose a paint color and then begin looking for furniture and décor. However, it should be the other way around! You will realize it is a lot easier to choose a paint color after you already chose the furniture and decor. You’ll be able to tell which paint color will match with your funky yellow armchair better than what armchair will match a can of paint.

Test the Paint First

It is a good idea to put testers of the colors and shades you like and then paint them onto small sections of your wall. A lot of the time paint looks different in the store than how it will actually look to you in your home. Leave it on for a few days so you can really get a feel for how it will look in different lights. You may really like how one color looks during the sundown, or how another looks early in the morning. This isn’t something you’d know until you put these testers out.
