One of the most frequently asked questions I get about my home is what paint colour is on the wall in each room, especially the main living space. I’ve created a guide with my favorite interior paint colors (including the ones I’ve used myself) to help you decide what the best interior paint colours for your home are!
How to Choose a Paint Colour
Personally, I like my home to feel serene, but also welcoming. So I tend to choose colors that are light, but also warm. I do love a good moody room painted a delicious and dark color, but I find that I enjoy actually LIVING in a lighter, brighter space. So before you start choosing paint colors ask yourself the following questions:
WHAT AM I NATURALLY DRAWN TO?
Head to Pinterest or your favourite magazine and save the images that you are drawn to the most. Don’t overthink it. Even if it’s not an image of the interior of home save it anyway. When you have a good selection take a look at what you have and you should be able to see a pattern emerging.
Note: Darker colours can be a little more difficult to get right, but the good news is that it’s only paint. You can always try again, so don’t be afraid to go bold if that’s what you love!
WHAT IS THE STYLE OF MY HOME?
If you live in a little cottage near the ocean you might want to choose a more natural and neutral palette. Sharper, more modern colours might be a better choice if you live in a downtown loft. One mistake I see people make a lot is trying to recreate a “theme” in their home that doesn’t work with its basic style. If you live in a new build home in a mainland city and try to make your home look like a Hawaiian beach house, you will likely end up with something that looks…and forgive me for saying this…tacky!! Work with what you have, not against it!
HOW DO I WANT TO FEEL IN MY SPACE?
Now that you have a better idea of what style your home is and what you are drawn to, it’s time to decide how you want your space to feel. Do you want it to be a calming space that allows you to relax or a fun space that gives you energy? It’s ok to have a bit of both sometimes, but you need to make sure the house feels cohesive at the same time!
