Color is one of the best ways to make your home feel like your home. The right color palette can tell us how to feel and help communicate who we are. But what is the right home color palette, and how can you find the combination that works best for you? While choosing the right interior paint colors is important, it doesn’t have to be difficult. Here are three tips to find the right color palette for your home.
FIND YOUR INTERIOR DESIGN INSPIRATION
Sometimes starting is the hardest part. It always helps to have a foundation. Whether it’s inspiration from online or from your friend’s kitchen cabinets, finding even just one key color or finish can make defining the rest of your palette much, much easier.
Want to know the best place to get inspired? The Bielinski Homes Design Studio. In the Design Studio, you get to physically interact with things like color swatches as well as fixture, cabinet, and flooring samples alongside a design expert like me. The best part about finding inspiration in the Design Studio is that when you fall in love with a color or finish, you know the exact same one is available for your home.
CREATING A COHESIVE WHOLE HOUSE COLOR PALETTE
Often, clients have the outdated idea that your color palette should differ from room to room. In older homes that are more compartmentalized, that might be the case. But most modern homes feature an open-concept design where the delineation between rooms is virtually nonexistent.
Creating a color palette for your home is a lot like writing a story. If chapter one is a romance, you can’t make chapter two a thriller and chapter three a comedy. Telling a consistent color story will create unity throughout your house.
Now, every great story can benefit from some unexpected surprises, and your color story is no exception. But it’s important to know where you can experiment and where you should remain consistent. A powder room, for instance, is a self-contained, private space perfect for a dramatic choice.
HOW TO CHOOSE INTERIOR PAINT COLORS WITHOUT THE STRESS
Choosing a color palette can seem like a high-stakes decision. It can feel stressful, and often customers are left indecisive and anxious. I am here to assure you that not only can choosing a color palette be simple, it’s also really fun.
It’s like a snowball. We start small with a simple decision. Do you want a warm palette or a cool palette? That rolls into our next decision. And then the next. And then the next. And by the time we’re done, your palette has been created.
