Things to Keep in Mind While Selecting Interior Paint Color
When it comes to choosing paint colors, there’s a lot more to consider than just what looks pretty on the color swatch. I’ve learned this the hard way, and I bet you have too.
- Test colors in different lighting conditions throughout the day before committing
- Consider your existing furniture and flooring; they’re not going anywhere anytime soon
- Start with one accent wall if you’re nervous about bold colors
- Remember that dark colors make rooms feel smaller, but also cozier
- Factor in the room’s natural light, north-facing rooms need warmer tones
- Think about the flow between connected spaces, so the colors complement each other
- Don’t forget about the ceiling – it’s the fifth wall and affects the whole room’s feel
The Bottom Line
Look, I know this whole paint selection process can feel overwhelming. Trust me, I’ve stood in the paint aisle, paralyzed by endless swatches more times than I care to admit.
These 2025 trends aren’t just about what’s fashionable; they’re about creating homes that actually feel good to live in. Start small, test thoroughly, and remember that paint is one of the most affordable ways to completely transform a space.
