5 Mistakes To Avoid When Selecting Paint Colors
by Leah H. Self Employed and LearnerPainting the home or office is not a permanent change. Paint can take a fair amount of time and expense and it is better that you make it right the very first time. How can you be sure you are not making a bad decision when you are selecting the paint colors? You need to make sure that you ask the experts before you start this costly and time-consuming task. Here are some mistakes that you need to avoid when you are looking to paint the house.
Forgetting about the light
Dark colors can make your room bold and dramatic. But if you forget about the natural light in the room, the room will end up being gloomy and dreary. Indoor light can be good and natural. Make sure that you bring a sample to the home and check it against different walls at the times of the day.
Saturated, bright colors
Most commercial painting contractors in Saratoga Springs NY discourage the practice of using bright colors in the room. You need to choose the colors that are toned down. Beige and white is something that is used in most houses. If you are still thinking of using the deeply saturated colors on the walls, everything else will be muted in the room. The bright colors may be trendy at this moment but what will happen in a few years when the trends change. The dark and subtle colors are long-lasting and will never fade away.
Eggshell, Gloss or Semi-Gloss?
Choosing the right paint finish is very important. Living rooms, kitchens, and children bedrooms are an ideal place to use the gloss finish as they can be wiped clean easily. Other rooms in the house should have a semi-gloss finish. People often get confused regarding the paint finish and end up making the wrong decision.
Furnish First
Some people make the mistake of painting the walls first and then deciding on the furnishing in the room. The main aim of the paint job is to increase the beauty of the room. What will happen when you buy a new sofa or bed, just to see it not matching with the paint. The best approach is to furnish the room first and then going for the paint after that.
Ditch the swatches
Seeing how the paint looks in the room is very critical, and it is not the same as looking at the sample. You need to make sure that bring an actual sample of the paint to the house and see how it looks in different light situations. On the market, you can easily find the small paint color boxes and will have several options to choose from. Take help from the house painting contractors in Saratoga Springs NY and ask for their recommendations regarding the paint colors.
