Clare: Black-Owned Tech & Home Brand Gives Tips for Picking Paint Colors
1 – Understand the natural lighting in your space. The amount of light your space receives and even the direction your light is coming from has the biggest impact on how the colors will be perceived in your home. For example, north-facing light is cooler, while south-facing light has a super warm glow. If you have a giant picture window outside your space, and everything outside the window is green, it’s likely that the green hue will cast back into your space. This is particularly important when choosing neutrals. We have a great article on our blog to help you figure out the lighting in your space and how it will impact color perception.
2 – Consider the colors already being used in your space like furniture, rugs, etc. You’ll want to make sure the color you choose for your walls will coordinate well and compliment your existing furnishings.
3 – Think about the vibe you want to channel in your space. Do you want it to feel calm and relaxed, energizing and vibrant? Try to find colors that channel those vibes. So if you want a calm, relaxing color for a bedroom, for example, our color Headspace, is a great choice. Want a color that’s more vibrant and energizing? Try Matcha Latte or Lemonade.
