Here are some tips on how to choose the perfect colour scheme for your home.

Consider the mood you want to create and look for inspiration

The colours you choose can have a significant impact on the mood of a room. For example, cool colours like blue and green can create a calming and relaxing environment, while warm colours like red and orange can create a more energetic and livelier atmosphere. Consider what mood you want to create in each room and choose colours that will help achieve that mood.

You don’t have to start from scratch when choosing colours for your home. Look for inspiration in magazines, online resources, or even in nature. Take note of the colours you like and think about how they might work in your home. Drive around your neighbourhood to see what you like and more importantly, see what you don’t like.

Think about the architecture of your home and consider the lighting

Consider the style and architecture of your home when choosing colours. A traditional home might look best with classic colours like beige, brown, or cream, while a modern home might look better with bold and vibrant colours like red, blue, or green. The lighting in your home can also affect how colours look. If you have a room with little natural light, consider choosing lighter colours to make the room appear brighter. If you have a room with lots of natural light, you can choose darker colours without making the room look too dark.

Don’t be afraid to use neutral colours and don’t forget to test them

Neutral colours like beige, grey, and white are always popular choices and can work well in any room. They provide a great backdrop for artwork, furniture and other accessories. Before committing to a colour, test it out in the room. Paint a small area or use colour swatches to see how the colour looks in different lighting conditions and at different times of the day.
