Why is so difficult to choose paint color?

Why is it so difficult to choose paint colors???

Why is it so difficult to choose a paint colorMore enough then not, I hear my clients say,“I thought this was the perfect color until I saw it on the wall”. So many times, the homeowners will choose a color they saw in a magazineThe problem with that, you don’t have the same accessories or furniture as the magazine picture. It may not work. Other times they have a color in mind, but they picked the wrong undertone. That is probably the biggest mistake I see.

Here are some guidelines to help your process.
  • Every color has an undertone. Meaning all beiges started as a color, whether it’s yellow, red, green, or orange. So pay attention.

Yellow undertones


Green undertones

  • Determine what undertones are in your room like your carpet, flooring, furniture, or accessories.
  • Keep all your neutral the same undertones. By doing this, you are assured of having a successful color palette.
  • Don’t forget about lighting. All colors will look different in different lighting situtaions, morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lighting. So make sure you test the colors in these situations.
  • Use large paint samples. Many companies, like Sherwin Williams, offer 8×11 samples that can be ordered online. This is great because you can truly see the color.

  • NEVER paint the color sample directly on the wall. The existing color will influence the color sample, and you not get an accurate read!!

These guidelines will help you when choosing your color palette . You can also decide to hire a Designer. This small investmentwill assure you that the colors you are choosing are the correct one. You are thereby eliminating any costly mistakes. So well worththe cost.

Mixing Patterns

September 5, 2018
Mixing Patterns!!
When mixing patterns, odd numbers work best. When selecting colors, I generally like to choose colors from big items, such as a sofa, area rug or chair.
Here is some guideline that will help you when choosing patterns:

  • Vary the scale of the patterns. Use large and small-scale patterns.
  • Choose two important colors and one neutral.
  • Use either cool tones or warm, DO NOT  mix the tones.
  • Use the patterns in all three working zones, function zone (furniture area), power zone (mid-area) and ceiling zone.

  • Try to keep 3 patterns. Using too many patterns doesn’t give the eyes a place to rest and will feel chaotic…

The most important rule when mixing patterns is COLOR. Make sure the colors are in the same tone. You also want to show some restraint and NOT go overboard!! A healthy mix is excellent. So go out there and have fun!!

Natural fabrics such as silk, wool, linen, and cotton are used for their textural aspect. However, bold color or geometric pattern may be brought into the design with pillows, or a rug.

Making your home feel relax

MAKING YOUR HOME FEEL RELAXING

Home is not just a place where we go back to every day. It is a sanctuary where we draw energy from to start our better day. So it is essential to create our space so we could relax and enjoy our time that gives some peace to our mind. Here are a few tips on how to make your home relaxing.

Connect with Nature!  

Being surrounded by a natural element helps us feel in peace.



Bring in natural sunlight!

Sunlight is the primary source of energy which provides vitamin D and helps us keep healthy. It affects our mood by making us happy and confident. 


Choosing natural tone colors!

The neutral color gives the room a subtle warmth and elegant simplicity. It creates a cheerfully pleasant home. 


Create Space!

Anxiety will build up if we pile up too much stuff in a room. So we should only keep things that we really need instead of cluttering unwanted objects. Painting the walls with white or light color will also make a room look more spacious and relaxing. 


Create a calming focal piece!

The thing that makes us happy or relaxes should be in a place where we could see it every day. We could draw positive energy from it. 



Whatever you do, make sure it feels natural and comfortable to your needs!! After all, it is YOUR home!!
