Ways to Help you Pick the Right Color of Bedroom Paint – When you decide to paint a bedroom, chances are, you don’t have any idea what color you want for the bedroom. Maybe you’ve decided against that one color you always tend to pick, for whatever reason. There are still ways to find the perfect color, and then make the bedroom flow with the “chosen color.”
First, think about the size of your room. If you want the room to look larger, go with a lighter color like crème or beige. If you have decided on a cozier, comfy room, try a chocolate or brown.
It may depend on how large or small your room is, how much furniture, and what you want your room to look like. Whether this is for a child’s room, can also play a huge role into the color. Does the child have a favorite team color?
Match your bedroom furniture to find a color. This is the easiest way to find a bedroom paint color. If you have white furniture, choosing a bright color maybe perfect. If you have dark wood, a light color. If you have black furniture, a crème would be beautiful.
Head out to Home Depot, using their color swatches, you can take home to match directly with your furniture. Also, look through magazines for the “perfect bedroom”, and then use that as the guide to paint the bedroom.
Use the online paint database to help you decide what color for your bedroom. The Behr website gives you possible colors, and then the website will “paint” the chosen room for you, letting you judge how you like the color or colors together. This is a fabulous way to get a feel for the room. Try to pick a room that will most likely look like the bedroom you are painting.
Buy a quart of paint, with the color of choice. Take it home, do a couple swashes across the wall. Leave it on for a few days, at night and during the day. Get a feel for the color. This is a perfect way to decide if you are going to like the color.
Use your Bedspread Colors. A great to pick your bedroom paint color is to decide on your bedspread, or comforter. Once you know what you want your bed to look like, you will have a good idea of colors you like and might want to use for wall paint.
You can also take the bedroom comforter to Lowe’s or Home Depot and match the paint, using the Behr online database to match the color directly or find colors that will compliment the main colors in your bedspread.
Shades of Color
For a beautiful bedroom, try using different shades of the same color. For example, make the wall paint a light blue, the bedspread a dark blue, and the pillows a white and blue. This is an easy way to not only color coordinate your bedroom, but inexpensively turn a semi plain room into a masterpiece.
Paint the Ceiling
If you really want a different look, think about painting the ceiling. You will want to look at your furniture, curtains, and all the colors in your room. Whatever color is the predominate color in your bedroom; you might want to go a shade or two lighter and use this color for your ceiling. Make sure to check the paint color throughout the day, as the lighting will be different throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening.
The key is to look from room to room in your house. Are their particular colors in every room? This is a great way to mesh your home as one. There is nothing more fabulous than seeing how a home sort of flows together. No matter what color your choice for your bedroom, the key is finding a color you will love seeing. The bedroom is the one place we can shut the world out and relax. So go find that relaxing color and enjoy painting that bedroom.
