Staging or Redesign? Hints for Choosing the Perfect Paint Palette for Your Home

Wall color is one of the most impactful aspects of home decorating.  Paint can create a mood and atmosphere that expresses your personality and make your home unique.  If you are selling, it can set your home apart from the competition.

Painting is an easy and economical way to update your home and reflect current trends, styles and tastes.

To get started, consult a professional home stager or redesigner.  Guidance in choosing your color scheme is a wise investment.

Pastels Create Serenity

    Light colors allow a great deal of flexibility and create an atmosphere of spaciousness.

 

Be Bold With Darker Colors

     In a well proportioned room, dark colors  create a cozy atmosphere.   Painting one wall or an alcove  dark adds a sense of depth.

                                                                                                      

Mix It Up

     Combining colors is an easy way to add drama and dimension throughout your home.

Don't Forget The Ceiling

     Light shades give a lofty look and dark shades lower the ceiling.

 

Whatever colors you choose, try a small amount first and test the color on the wall.  But don't be afraid to risk with color.  There is always Room to Change!!

 

Happy Painting, Cathy Lee
