A simple decision at face value, choose a paint colour or colour scheme for your own home. This can turn even the strongest amongst us into quivering wimps. The fear of picking the wrong colour has many homeowners paralyzed and unable to make a choice. You can hire a professoinal decorator or Colour Design Expert that will help you solve your colour selection predicament. However, for those who would rather take action on thier own use a simple technique that I recommend to my clients and decorating workshop students.
1. Make a visit to your local diy center and head straight for the paint department. Pick whatever colour you are taking a shine to. Don't be concerned about where you might be using the colour for now. Just have a good time with the choices. This can help you reduce the intimidation of choosing a colour. This is often the initial step in overcoming your fear.
2. Grab you favorite fashion magazines and cut out images with colours that you find attractive. After all, if you are attracted to a colour in make-up or fashion, odds are you will like that colour in the home.
3. Find an inspirational piece in your house that you just absolutely love. Use the colours from that piece to guide you in your colour options.
4. Buy sample pots of paint colours that you’ve selected and apply them to a tiny part of your wall (tape it to the wall). Watch how the colour changes through out your day, watch the way it responds to daylight and artificial light. In the event you definately love the colour, then buy it and begin painting. If you don't like it then repeat this exercise.
Take into account that choosing a paint colour or colour scheme for your home is absolutely not a life or death choice. Approach the decision using a sense of humor and adventure knowing that regardless if you choose right or wrong, at the least you made a decision. If you chose the colour you love Congratulations. If you chose a colour that you decided you didn't like Congratulations too! You are just one step closer in finding the colour that defines your personality and one step further away from your fear of using colour.
Do not be afraid to go with the colours that you prefer, it doesn't matter what anyone else might think. If you like it, then that is all that counts. You won't please every one, it doesn't matter what you select to put on your walls. I could give you many of examples where We have gone in to a home and felt sick with what other people have chosen, but they like it. That is all that matters these days.
