4 Ways to Find Color Inspiration!


Do you plan on redecorating this spring/summer?

Are you struggling to come up with ideas to revamp your home?

Many people look to Pinterest, Houzz or their fashionable friend for color inspiration, but have you considered input from a local painter in Ann Arbor?

Through our experience, when a customer is unsure about a color scheme, we’re almost always ready to make suggestions. We find the following things are helpful when picking out colors:
  1. Look in your closet! Do you have a color that you favor most?
  2. Fabric! What kind of color would accent your drapes, area rugs, bedding, etc.?
  3. Television! What TV show sets do you like the most?
  4. Magazines! Do you see any designs you like in a favorite magazine?
  5. Nature! Does your favorite place inspire color?
Hopefully, some of these ideas help you make some decisions about your color scheme and style. With so many choices and trends, it can be hard to perfect what you want out of the space you’re redecorating.
