Wall color creates mood...

Color creates mood….


Homeowners today are exploring new and bolder, more creative colors to express themselves. Depending on how colors make you feel you can create different environments that are comfortable and entertaining.

Before you begin selection of wall colors in your home for a master plan, be sure you analyze what mood or feeling you would like each room to evoke. Maybe in your family room you want it relaxed and comfortable, or in a master bedroom you want tranquility, or a sexy red. Color has a language all of it’s own, so explore what you want the interior walls of your home to speak!

One of the best website tools is Sherwin Williams Color 101 article.  In their article they present, "Why Color Matters" and presents how color will set the mood for your interior environment.  They mention that color can unite...   Do you have a mix mash of eclectic pieces of furniture?  Paint color often is the thing that will bring it all together and reduce the busy or clutter look.

Is your room or space boring?  Electrifying hues and fashion trend colors can become a focal point and bring a touch or whimsy or focus to the room.  Be careful!  Using bright strong colors is fun, but need to be placed in the correct areas for it to bring the end result you are hoping for.  Professional color consulting is well worth the dollars, when it is something that will affect you every day of your life!

Choosing the right wall paint colors…

Choosing the right paint colors for the interior wall of your home can be a challenge for clients. Anita with Interior Spaces has years of experience and daily works on a variety of color consultations with clients. Years of experience and good eye for color have helped develop Anita’s keen sense of connection with each client. Personal, professional, experienced and affordable are words that best describe her service in the Portland Metro Area including Vancouver, West Linn, Wilsonville, Sherwood, and Beaverton in the beautiful state of Oregon.


Where do you start in choosing wall colors for your home? One of the main mistakes I see is when clients just go to a paint store and point to a color they like. There are a lot of colors in a paint stores interior wall color paint deck!  Remember, not every color in the deck is meant to go on a wall!  So, having expert eye evaluates your home, and what wood tones you have what furniture you are working around, what artwork you want to accent, your likes and dislikes is the first step to bringing together a good master plan of color for your home. Professional paint color services will help you get stunning results.  You can visit our website for more information... http://www.interiorspacesforyou.com/


Another tip that I like to tell clients is look at the paint color in all lights. How color appears in the sunny south side of the home will be different that on the shade or north side of the home. Color changes as light changes, so view them in the morning, mid day and at night when only incandescent lighting is used. One of the services I offer clients is to keep the 20” x 30” sample boards that I create for their master plan of color and move them around all times of day to make sure they will like the color at all times.

Anita with Interior Spaces servicing the Portland Metro area including, Tualatin, West Linn, Tigard, Beaverton, Wilsonville, Vancouver area help her clients achieve their master plan of interior colors a little different way.
