Choosing the perfect paint color can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. At Parker Paint Company, we’ve helped countless homeowners find their ideal palette. Here are some proven strategies to make your color selection process smoother and more successful.
Start with your existing décor. Take inventory of your furniture, artwork, and permanent fixtures. These elements should guide your color choices, creating a cohesive look throughout your space. Look for colors that complement rather than compete with your current pieces.
Test colors in your actual space. Paint samples on multiple walls and observe them throughout the day. Natural and artificial lighting can dramatically affect how a color appears. We recommend our Parker Paint sample sizes, which provide enough coverage to make an informed decision.
Consider the room’s purpose. Different colors evoke different moods. Bedrooms often benefit from calming blues and gentle greens, while social spaces like living rooms can handle more vibrant hues. Remember that color psychology plays a significant role in how we experience our spaces.
