How to pick paint color to your room - quick guide

Changing the colour of a room in your home can have a very positive effect on how the space looks and feels. But which color will be right for given room? It is difficult decision. Here are some advice about latest trends and how to choose perfect color.



Paint colours, like anything, tend to follow trends. Choosing a paint color that is popular in this season is a great way to display your design savvy and great taste.

You should also don't ignore floor colour, because it's the second largest surface to the walls in your home. Even wooden floors have own  shade that will effect how paint will look.



So which color should you choose? Deeper colours tend to suit cosier rooms such as the study and living room or bigger rooms with lots of light. On the other hand strong colours can be used in smaller amounts to bring depth and a focal point to any room. Unless you are looking to achieve a very clinical look, keep white color for bathroom only and always use a softer white for ceilings.



You also need to know that there is something like pscyhology of colour. Different colours have various effect on your mood. Certain colours - most commonly those found in nature - are very calming, which is why you often see neutral tones like pale blues in bedrooms and bathrooms. Green is the color of balance and growth so you could easily use it in kid's room. If you want to draw attention to certain room or spot, use red colour.
