Steps to Choose the Right Color:

Identify your Purpose: When choosing colors, I try to get a feel of the energy my clients want for the space! Are you wanting to feel warm energy? Or calming energy? For example:
Warm colors, like reds and oranges, can energize a space and evoke feelings of warmth and excitement!
Cool colors, like blues, greens, and purples can create a calm and serene backdrop perfect for relaxation.
Neutral colors like grays, whites, and beiges can provide a sophisticated backdrop, allowing other elements in the room to shine.
Consider Lighting and always get a Sample: Natural Light can change how colors appear throughout the day. I cannot encourage you enough to test paint samples to see how they look in the lighting conditions of your room. If you are trying to pick exterior paint look at paint samples at different times of the day to see how they look! It can be shocking how the perfect white might look yellow in the afternoon or your favorite gray looks purple- always get a sample!
Create the illusion of Space: Use light colors to make a room feel larger and more open, Additionally, painting ceilings in a lighter shade than the walls can draw the eye upward, creating the illusion of height.
Fun Ways to Implement Color in Your Home

Incorporating a variety of textures and colors through textiles can significantly elevate and refresh your space. This recent bedroom renovation in Alpharetta, GA, beautifully illustrates how textiles can seamlessly unify a room, enhancing its overall aesthetic.
Color Drenching: Color Drenching involves painting the walls, trim, and ceiling in the same bold hue. This creates a cohesive and enveloping effect. Color drenching is gaining traction as one of the hottest design trends. It is a great way to make a statement in your space- using both bold and subtle tones.
Accent Wall Treatments: Consider adding wallpaper, wainscoting, or wood wall paneling to add a feature to your room instead of a simple painted accent wall. Adding these elements can be a huge statement for your room!
Wallpaper: We addressed using wallpaper as an accent- but I love wallpaper so much that we are going to highlight it on its own! Wallpaper is back! There are so many patterns and textures available now- the color possibilities are endless. Wallpaper can add personality and depth to any room! One of my favorite trends is a wallpapered ceiling!
Textiles: Incorporating color through textiles can be an easy and affordable way to refresh your space. Think luxurious pillows, throws or curtains in rich jewel tones or sophisticated neutrals. For a cohesive look, mix and match patterns that share a common color palette. This works beautifully in living rooms and bedrooms.
Furniture: Colorful furniture pieces can serve as eye-catching focal points in your home. Consider a bold sofa or accent chair in an emerald or wine color to elevate your space. It is a great way to express your personality without committing to a permanent change.
Accents and Decor: Small accents like vases, artwork and decorative accessories can introduce color without overwhelming the space. Use these items to tie your color scheme together, adding warmth and character to any room.
