Whether you’re renovating one room or tackling a whole-home interior painting project, choosing your new colors can be tough. This is because trying to decipher the color wheel and looking at hundreds of paint strips at your local hardware store can easily get overwhelming. To make things easy for you, the Anchorage, AK, contractors at Complete Painting Services have shared some simple steps to finding just the right color scheme.  

Start this process by searching online or through magazines and choosing your favorite home designs. Look at the paint colors in the images, along with the décor and furniture in the home. Choose sample photos that match what you currently have or plan to get. Once you have about ten samples, you’ll have a pretty good idea of the color trends you like.

If your furniture and décor have one pop of bold color, such as red or forest green, let this be one of your three colors. If your décor is neutral with whites and grays, choose three other interior painting colors.

In most cases, you’ll want your trim to be a neutral shade of white. For the other two colors, you can either select contrasting or complementary colors. To select the latter, choose a dark color you like and a shade of it that is at least three shades lighter for the second color choice. For contrasting colors, choose a color you like and then select something on the opposite side of the color wheel for your second choice.

Interior painting is an easy and affordable way to completely transform and freshen up the look of your home. Have fun with it!
