For some homeowners, designing an interior space can be challenging. Creating a color scheme can be particularly tough since there is a wide array of shades to choose from. With an overwhelming amount of options, how do you pare them down and ensure you’re getting the best colors for your home? 

Your choice of paint color dramatically affects the ambiance and appeal of your interior. To help you select shades that will define your home, home renovation company DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Lakes shares some interior paint color tips in this post.

Choose Colors Based on a Dominant Pattern 

Take a look at what you already have. If you have an intricately patterned rug or colorful upholstery, pick the colors you like and use them to create your color scheme. A large piece of artwork is also an excellent source of inspiration. After all, artists have an eye for fascinating color combinations, and the fact that you chose that artwork means it matches your taste. If you prefer a neutral paint color for your wall, look at the whites and beiges in the pattern.
 

Select Darker Shades for Your Floor, Then Go Lighter as You Go Up

It’s common for interior remodeling specialists to get design ideas from nature and the environment. If you want a foolproof way to decorate your home, try to replicate the outside world. You’ll notice that the ground is usually darker. Then, as you look straight ahead, you’ll find the surroundings, buildings, and trees have medium color values. The hues get lighter skyward. Apply the same color values to your interior — choose darker shades for your flooring, medium tones for your walls, and lighter colors for your ceiling.

Use Neutral Colors to Offset Brighter Colors 

Bright colors, such as sunny yellow and turquoise blue, can be too vibrant. If you want to take your interior colors down a notch, you can do so by adding neutral or muted hues into the mix. The brighter colors can continue attracting attention while the muted ones balance them out. This is also a good way to retain a soothing atmosphere inside your home.
