One of the most exciting things about owning a home is being able to customize it to your liking. One of the best ways to customize a home is by choosing the colors of the various rooms.

When it comes to choosing what colors to paint each room, the opportunities are endless. This is why we at the Borlodan Painting Company have come up with a few tips on how to choose the right paint colors for different rooms. Remember, despite our tips, the choices of color are ultimately your personal choice and will depend on your tastes.
Match Color With Your Décor
It is much easier to match the color you paint a room to the furniture and décor than it is to match up the décor to the paint. So before even buying any paint for a room, visualize what colors would go well with the type of things you have in that room.
Always Test The Colors
There are always those colors that we see in the store and absolutely adore, only to come home, put them on a wall, and hate them. Instead of having to repaint the ENTIRE room if you pick the wrong paint, it is a wise idea to test the paint first. If you still like it on a small portion of a wall or ceiling, then go ahead and paint the entire room.
Don’t Forget About Lighting
Most of the times, paint colors will look different depending on the amount and source of the lighting in a room. Natural light shows the truest color, incandescent light can bring warm tones and fluorescent lights can make things a bit blue. For example, a strong color might be too much on a wall or in a room with a ton of natural light. So definitely consider the lighting of a room before painting it.
Use the Color Wheel
When choosing colors to paint a room, you should always consider the color wheel. It is a great reference tool to see what colors will look good together and which will not. This wheel may introduce you to new color combinations you never thought of or will show you a combo you were considering really won’t work.
