Tips To Choose Colors For Affordable Interior Painting

With budget constraints and household expenses increasing, it is natural to put remodeling projects on hold. This might sound surprising but even with limited budget there is a home remodeling project that is affordable and fun too- interior painting.

The DIY price of repainting a room is usually well under $100, almost the same as going out for a movie with your family of four members. Besides, the enjoyment and excitement of a freshly painted room will last for years.

Begin by visiting your local paint store by seeing the color display. The fun starts by looking though the color cards and imagining what your room will look like with a completely new color scheme.

If you are firm type, you might fast find the perfect color for the room you are repainting. For everyone else, it is generally best to take a few color cards home to see in the space you are considering painting. Once there, follow top tested rules.

First, when assessing color options, cover all the colors on the card except the one you are considering. By isolating the color, you will have a better understanding of how the room will look in a particular shade of color.

Second, assess the color both during day and night time when all the light is artificial. You may be surprised how different a color can look with changing lighting conditions.

Third, consider when you most commonly use the room. If you are painting a breakfast zone, make sure you like the way the color looks during morning light, but in case it is the bedroom that you are painting, it is crucial that the color looks pleasing in artificial light.

Fourth, be clear that color tends to be more intense on a bigger area than a small one. A color that looks perfect on a color card may be too bold or too dark when applied on the walls.
Lastly, if you are still unsure about your choice of color, buy a small quantity of paint and apply a number of large swatches to the walls. Live with the color for a few days. You will soon realize if you are making a right decision.

One last tip: Irrespective of the color you choose, use top quality 100% acrylic latex interior paint for all of your painting projects.
