Choosing the Right Interior Paint Colors

A Guide to Transforming Your Space with the Power of Color

Selecting the right paint color for your interior can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. With countless shades, tones, and finishes available, the process can quickly become challenging. The right choice can elevate a room, set the mood, and reflect your personality. Here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect interior paint colors—and remember, Goedecke Design Center is here to assist you every step of the way.

1. Consider the Mood

Different colors evoke different emotions. Think about the atmosphere you want to create in each room.

2. Understand Lighting

Natural and artificial lighting significantly impact how a paint color looks. A color that appears perfect in the store may look different in your home.

3. Test Paint Samples

Never commit to a paint color without testing it in your space. Purchase small samples of your top choices and paint swatches on the walls. Observe them at different times of day to see how the color changes with lighting. Testing helps you avoid costly mistakes. 

4. Coordinate with Existing Decor

Consider the color of your furniture, flooring, and accessories. Your paint color should complement these elements, not clash with them. If you have a statement piece, like a bold rug or artwork, choose a neutral wall color to let it stand out. 

5. Choose the Right Finish

Paint finishes (matte, eggshell or gloss) can change the look and feel of a color.

6. Think About the Flow

If your home has an open floor plan, consider how colors will flow from one room to another. Using a cohesive color palette can create a harmonious and connected feel throughout your space. You can vary shades within the same color family to add depth while maintaining unity.
