Adding color is the simplest way to update the look of your home interiors. The key here, however, is to find the right balance between going too subtle and going overboard with your choices. So, where should you begin with this particular aspect of your home remodel?

Let trusted home interior remodeling contractor DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of South Valley share some of the tips and tricks for choosing paint colors for your interiors.

Draw Inspiration

You can draw much-needed inspiration for finding the best color scheme for your home interiors through print and digital media. Check out the latest issues of magazines and catalogs that focus on home design. Niche sites, particularly those that delve into home remodels are also important sources. Pinterest and Instagram also offer real-time color inspiration. As long as you know what hashtag or search term to use, you can gain access to thousands of ideas that are worth considering for your interior remodeling project.

Utilize the Color Wheel

You don’t have to be an expert in color theory to use the color wheel. This handy tool allows you to explore numerous possibilities for your would-be color palette for your interior home renovation. While you may not be using the exact colors on the wheel, picking a shade lighter or darker should work just as well.

Use Neutral Colors to Your Advantage

Neutral hues remain the go-to choice for homeowners and remodelers because of their versatility. They pair well with both intense and subtle shades and tints. Plus, they offer a timeless appeal that helps make your interiors look good no matter the style you’re going for. With neutrals, you can unleash your creativity in designing your living spaces. For instance, either off-white or gray walls complement well with ceilings painted with soft pastels.

Use the “60-30-10” Rule

This interior painting rule refers to using three main colors for living spaces – a dominant color (60%), a secondary color (30%), and an accent color (10%). This ratio helps ensure balance and maintain visual interest throughout the room. Ideally, the walls should be covered by the dominant color, the floor and ceiling the secondary color, and the trim with the accent color.
