Today kicks off the mini series on Picking Paint. I’ve picked out a few key factors that will hopefully help your process run more smoothly!

Finding Your Color

~ Your paint color should be decided after you have picked out fabric, rugs, furniture, and flooring.

~ Find a color in your artwork, a rug, accessories or your fabric as a main color or accent.

~ If you choose  to use a color from your fabric, it’s best to pick a color from the background of your print. The only exception would be for accent walls. If you plan to have an accent wall you can choose a bold color from your print.

Here is an example: The inspiration piece for my Master Bedroom is my pillows.

I choose a very subtle color close to the background color of my pillow.

~The most important thing to remember is that paint should highlight your furnishings and decor not over power them.
