Ann Arbor Painters Suggest the Best Ways to Choose a Color Scheme

What kind of mood do you want for your room?

Do you want your living room to feel more sociable?

Do you want your dining room to appear formal and quiet?

Choosing the color red for example, encourages appetite and raises the energy level of a room, which is great for a living room or dining room. In comparison, the color blue is considered calming, which is recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms.

With the abundant choice of colors at our fingertips, choosing a paint color for a room can be an exciting challenge.

There are many things to consider, including:

• Researching interior design trends
• Envisioning what activity will be in each room, and what energy level is appropriate. Thinking about the warm colors (yellows, orange), and cool color (blue, green) options.
• Thinking about transitions from one room to the next
• Considering what furniture and window treatments you have and what will complement them
