Important Considerations Are
- Choosing attractive colors
- Choosing correct types of paint
- Selecting proper applicators
- Proper surface preparation
- Following manufactuer's suggested application procedures
- Thorough clean up
How do I Choose the Right Exterior Colors?
Whether you're painting your home for the first time or simply repainting it, you will want to carefully select exterior colors. HSP offers color consultations and design consulting services to help you choose the best colors for your home. Here are a few tips in making exterior color selections:
Consider Neighboring Homes:
You'll want yours to be compatible with those surrounding it, but not exactly the same.
Consider the area in which you live.
For example, multi-color Victorians might be appropriate in San Francisco, but would seem out of place in some other areas.
On homes with unique architectural detail, use an additional color to emphasize them.
To get ideas on colors to choose, look at actual homes, magazines, or go to a paint supplier's website to use the Virtual House Painting Wizard.
How do I Choose the Right Interior Colors?
HSP offers color consultations and design consulting services to help you choose the best colors for your home. The following are some questions to consider when thinking about colors for your interior spaces.
How do you want the room to feel?
We all react differently to color, depending on our associations with it. But it's always extremely powerful. Don't underestimate the effect it can have on your mood.
How will the room be used?
In a small space where you won't spend much time, such as a powder bath or entry, color can be much more dramatic.
Will it be a day room or a night room?
It is wise to paint test swatches on your walls and check them at the time of day when you plan to use the room. The quality of natural light changes considerably during the course of the day.
What are the predominant colors of your furniture, upholstery, carpets, and artwork?
Look to them for inspiration, but fight the impulse to match too exactly.
