How Color Changes A Room

Whether you prefer a subtle update or a noticeable change, the right combination of color and finish can make your home feel more like you.

Light colors can give a room a brighter, more open feel. Deeper colors can create a cozy atmosphere or bring attention to a favorite feature.

Trim plays a part, too. A contrasting color highlights doors and architectural details, while similar shades on the walls and trim create a softer, more unified look.

Color can also connect adjoining rooms, helping the home feel cohesive while giving each space its own character.

Finding A Color You’ll Enjoy Living With

Your lighting, flooring, and furnishings all influence how a paint color looks at home. A shade that feels warm in one room may look quite different in another.

Larger samples help you see the color alongside the things that will stay in the space. Looking at them during the day and in the evening gives you a better feel for the finished room.

A useful starting point is the atmosphere you want: bright and airy, warm and relaxed, or rich and dramatic.

Bringing The Room Together

Walls provide the backdrop, ceilings influence the overall brightness, and trim frames the space.

Refreshing all three can create a coordinated look, but a smaller change can be just as worthwhile. A new wall color may be all you need to complement existing trim, furniture, and flooring.

The Care Behind A Fresh Finish

Thoughtful preparation helps a new finish look consistent. Cleaning, filling small holes, sanding repaired areas, and priming where needed all contribute to the finished appearance.

That care continues through painting, with attention to edges, coverage, and the details that bring the room together.

Caring For Freshly Painted Surfaces

Giving new paint time to cure helps it develop its durability. Once it’s ready for cleaning, gentle care with products recommended by the paint manufacturer helps preserve the finish.
