What Everybody Ought to Know About Paint Colors For 2023
As a Sugar Land, Texas based, professional painting company my goal is to not just to provide a quality paint job but a beautiful paint job. Before doing the prep work, going through the entire process up and to the final walk through there is a decision that needs to be made. What color?
Pro Tip #1: What Inspires you?
When you walk into your house or pull up in the drive way what mood do you want to feel? Calm and relaxed? Invigorated and energized? Loud and creative? Traditional and subtle? Before I send the painting crew or even sign the contract we have to brainstorm what colors express who you are.
Pro Tip # 2: Make Sure Your Using Color Pallets
The first thing you have to do is narrow down a color scheme for your paint project. To paint an entire house Sherwin Williams alone has over 1700 colors to choose from. The secret to an amazing job is color pallets. Whether you find your inspiration from pinterest or a magazine make sure you start off not picking from colors but picking from pallets. That way you know the colors will match during the entire process.
I have linked below some of Sherwin Williams favorite color pallets for 2023. My favorite is “biome,” what’s yours?
Pro Tip # 3 Light Changes Everything
How many windows and natural light do you have in your home? This will reveal different hues and shades at different times of the day. You may want to use warmer hues for a south-facing homes to bring it new life while cooler tones for north-facing homes is what looks best when your finished painting. Western facing should have rich complex colors because of all the direct sun exposure while eastern facing will be more light soft colors.
Pro Tip # 4 Get Swatches and Sample Paints
Your finally ready to go to the paint store to get your swatches. Armed with your pallets and your knowledge of lighting grab as many swatches as you like and start narrowing down. If your wondering about sheens or which products don’t worry. Any paint can be tinted to any quality paint product or any sheen. Grab a couple samples and put them on the wall. Look at them at different points of the day. As the light changes does the way your home’s interior feel exactly how you imagined?
Pro Tip # 5 Choosing Sheens and Finishes
Experienced painters know the homes interior needs different sheens based off of how much traffic and exposure it gets. Typically baseboards and bathroom cabinets get a high sheen while ceilings get a flat. A lot of kids in the home causing finger prints? Go with eggshell.
