Deciding to have a room in your home repainted is an exciting experience, especially if you plan on choosing a new color. However, deciding on color can often be a difficult process. With almost countless shades to choose from, how exactly are you supposed to narrow it down to just one? We’re here to provide you with a few helpful tips to make your decision easier.

One of the first things you can do is look at samples of rooms that have been painted similar colors to the ones you have in mind. Do a Google image search to see what other homes look like with a red living room, blue bedroom, or any other ideas you are contemplating. While these rooms obviously won’t look exactly like your own, it will give a basic idea of what a specific color looks like in a similar setting.

If you have your choices down to a specific color but you’re unsure about which shade to choose, you may have to do a bit of research. Ask your contractor for samples of different shades to help you compare them against each other. Holding up samples on the walls in your home is a great way to carefully eliminate some shades and discover one that will work for you.

At the end of the day if you’ve narrowed your choices down to a few similar shades but can’t decide between them, you will likely be happy with any of them. Don’t hesitate to ask your contractor for advice, and consult with other members of your family. Using these methods, you should be able to find the perfect paint color for your room in no time!
