The direction of your natural light and other colors in the room can greatly impact the color of your paint. So, how do you know if you\u2019ll like it on the entirety of the wall? Here are some tips to help you make the best choice:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be aware of the colors around your space.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t just think about the wall you\u2019re painting \u2013 look at the whole room. What colors are in your furniture, rugs or artwork? Even the hues from outside your window can influence how paint colors look inside. Make sure your choice complements these surrounding elements rather than clashing with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">View your paint swatches at different times of day.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colors can look entirely different in bright sunlight compared to the soft glow of a lamp in the evening. The amount of natural light in your space and its direction can impact the way the color is perceived. It\u2019s important to make sure you love the color both in the daylight and in the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you want to use the room?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different rooms have different purposes and feel. If you want a calmer, peaceful space, go for blues, greens and neutrals. If you\u2019re interested in energizing your space, like a kitchen or office, look into warm shades like reds, yellows and oranges. The function of the room should guide your color choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust your gut.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know your rooms and how you want to feel in them better than anyone else. Trust your gut to choose colors that are a reflection of you, your home and how you want to feel when you come home to it every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CertaPro\u00ae Painters Consultation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If all this feels too overwhelming, let the professionals handle it.
