Find your Perfect Paint Color
It can be difficult to settle on a color for a house painting project. It’s easy to get wrapped up in details, sheens, and shades. A paint project can last for 10 years or more, so taking the time to get the color right is a worthwhile pursuit. Part of our service line includes color consulting, which is a specialized service that pairs customers with designers who can provide color and sheen recommendations for painting projects.
What Does a Color Consultant Do?
After you set up an appointment with our team, a CertaPro Painters® consultant will meet with you to learn about what kinds of colors you like and to take a look at the home and its furnishings. The color consultant will then prepare a list of recommendations for each room including color and sheen options. Samples can be provided for each room. We can even paint small test areas on a section of the wall to help visualize what the colors will look like. Before they leave, your CertaPro Painters® paint consultant will give you 4×4 sample cards of each of the colors you selected to keep as a reference.
Paint Color Consultation Tips and Examples
A big part of keeping your property well maintained is painting. It’s not all about function with painting projects however; color selection is an important part of the project. Below are just a few things to consider when thinking about what colors to use.
-Which pieces of furniture to keep and which to replace.
-What kind of window treatments will look best.
-What accessories will best enhance the décor.
You can’t begin to think about these questions until you have picked the right colors for your rooms. This is where color consultation is most important since it saves you time and helps you avoid costly mistakes.
Color consultants have helped homeowners with all kinds of projects. Here are just a few examples:
Whole house interior: Typically, your consultant will help you choose a comfortable neutral color to run through the “vein” of the house. This will give the other coordinating shades and colors a more cohesive feel. Color options and sheen recommendations for each room will be provided.
A different color for every room: Sometimes homeowners want each of their rooms to have a completely different ambiance. These kinds of painting projects can look great, but careful selection for each room adds some extra time to evaluate shades and consider accent colors for each room.
Darkness and light: Some people love darker colors in their home, but it can be difficult to tell just how dark you can go. Although it depends on how much light is in the room, there are other factors to consider, such as the amount of wall space.
