It’s time to choose the right paint for your home’s interior! This is an exciting choice to make, but you don’t want to be hasty in making your selection. Learning more about paint types, colors and quality is absolutely essential to the successful transformation of your home.

Choosing the right primer is an important first step because it adds a layer to the surface that will allow the top coat of paint to better adhere to the wall. While you won’t see the primer once your wall is painted, it will ensure that you get the most out of the paint color that you choose!

Color choice is the fun and exciting part of painting your home! Take a step back for a moment and consider how you want your home to feel as you walk through it. Consider the mood and atmosphere that you want your home to portray. If you want a nice, smooth transition between rooms, perhaps you should consider a base color for the area, and then choose a color that is on the same spectrum but a few shades lighter. This will allow for a natural, less muddled flow.

You’ve picked your colors – now you need to decide what exact type of paint suits your needs. It is important to research or seek advice from a professional about the durability and quality of the paint. Do you have young children? The name changes depending on the brand, but paint exists that will make wiping a splashed mess of the wall quite easy. The gloss and brightness of your paint will have a major impact on your walls as well. Light colors work anywhere, but if you prefer dark colors, our suggestion is to choose rooms with many windows and natural light. Remember, neutral colors will often match any style of decor and furniture.

For a change, don’t shy away from the bold colors. Select colors that add depth and texture to a room. Understand the psychology of color, and use it to your advantage. A calming color is also great for a bedroom or formal living area where guests can visit in your home. Choosing the right interior color sets the mood for every room.
