1: Create color scheme that matches furniture
Notes:
-
Finding the Color:
Your interior paint color must match or complement your existing home furniture. It would be best if you started by choosing three colors that are currently found in your home. For example, you select the color of your dining table, the couch in your living room, and the color of your pillows in your bedroom.
- After selecting these items, you should find three sample strips that match the colors of these items, and from there, you can have different color choices, which you can use for the other parts of your home.
-
For example
If your color options are light blue, white, and green. It’s recommended to choose one from the three colors as the primary color for the walls, and use the other two colors as the accents. So, you can choose to use white as the primary paint color for one room, and then use blue and green as accent colors.
- If you want variety, you can choose white as the primary paint color in your bedroom, choose blue as the primary paint color for the living area, and use white and blue as color accents.
- You can also use one wall paint color in the kitchen, and use the other colors to paint kitchen cabinets and other elements in the area, like window panes and doors.

2: Consider painting walls with neutral colors
Notes:
- If you want consistency in your home and would want to use only one paint color for the walls, you can never go wrong with neutral colors and use bold colors for accents.
- One reason you should choose a neutral color for your walls is to place attention to your furniture pieces. Aside from that, you can also easily change your furniture pieces without thinking if it goes well with the room’s color.
-
Some color concepts from the photo above:
- the color scheme above is very popular for varied rooms – it’s called the sponge or ombre effect – where you blend two or more colors together
- the neutrals colors are likely light bluish-white with gray on top
- note how the color blends nicely with the metal pieces in the room – such as the metal desk and chair, metal floor shelf, metal locker, and the metal pendant light
- the gray and black goes nicely together to give this room a visual effect.

3: Understand color undertones
Notes:
- All paint colors are made up of other colors that are either warm or cool, and that’s called an undertone. Warm paint color will have an undertone of a warm color, like red and yellow. On the other hand, cool paint color will have a base color undertone of cool colors, like green or blue.
- If you want to make a room look bigger, you’d like to use cool undertones. Lighter hues open up small spaces, whereas darker tones will give the perception of a smaller space. Cool undertones work best in open spaces, like the dining room or living area. If you want the space to feel cozy and warm, like in your bedroom or foyer, you should use warm undertones.
-
What undertones do you need to bedroom with home office:
- with the COVID impact on the economy, more people are finding themselves working remotely for a least full or some days of the weeks. The challenge is finding space to setup a remote work office – often in ends up in the sleeping or spare bedroom.
- selecting colors for the bedroom with a remote office must be strategically thought out – warm colors the make you feel warm and relaxing for sleep may not work when you need to function during the day.
- so work with neutral colors that help you relax at night and work during the day.

4: Create an accent wall
Notes:
- Adding an accent wall is a great way to have a focal point in the room. The accent wall can be painted in a vivid hue that’s very different from the other walls in the space.
- This is a great way to add a particular bold color you like without ruining the whole look of the space. It also adds a dramatic and contemporary edge to space. You can add an accent wall in your bedroom or in the living room to add more personality to the area.

Let’s break-out the decor elements in the photo above: [ scroll back up ]

5: Always paint samples on the walls
Notes:
- Another thing that you can do is to paint sample walls. Painting sample colors on the walls allows you to make sure the paint you’re using will work with your existing color palette. If you don’t test the paint on your walls beforehand, you may end up purchasing paint that doesn’t match up with the other colors in your home.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Choosing the best paint color for every room and wall paint isn’t always easy, but with a little bit of planning and research, you should be able to find colors that’ll enhance any space in your home.
- Make sure that you take your time and get everything together before you begin painting. You should consider the color of your existing furniture and understand what you want the space to feel like.
- If you have a bold color you want to use and it doesn’t match the other elements of the space, you can use it as the color of your accent wall to add personality to the room. Lastly, make sure that you test out the paint on your walls so you can visualize if the color is excellent for the room or not.
