A simple decision at face value, choose a paint colour or colour scheme for your own home. This can turn even the strongest among us into quivering wimps. The fear of picking the wrong colour has many homeowners paralyzed and unable to make a decision. It is possible to hire a professoinal decorator or Colour Design Expert that will help you solve your colour selection difficulty. However, for those who would rather take action on thier own you can use an easy technique that I recommend to my clients and decorating workshop students.
1. Make a trip to your local diy center and head straight to the paint department. Pick whatever colour you are taking a shine to. Don't worry about where you will be using the colour for now. Just rejoice with the choices. This will assist you to reduce the intimidation of selecting a colour. This is the initial step in overcoming your fear.
2. Grab you favorite fashion magazines and cut out images with colours you find attractive. After all, if you are attracted to a colour in make-up or fashion, odds are you will probably like that colour inside your home.
3. Find an inspirational piece in your home that you 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 small part of your wall (tape it to the wall). Watch how the colour changes through out the day, watch the way it responds to sunlight and artificial light. If you definately love the colour, then buy it and start painting. If you do not like it then replicate this exercise.
Keep in mind that choosing a paint colour or colour scheme for your own home is absolutely not a life or death choice. Approach the choice with a sense of humor and adventure knowing that no matter if you choose right or wrong, at the least you made a decision. If you chose the colour you like Congratulations. If you chose a colour that you have decided you didn't like Congratulations too! You’re just one step closer to finding the colour that defines your personality and one step further away from your fear of using colour.
Don’t be afraid to go with your colours that you like, it doesn't matter what anyone else might think. If you like it, then this is all that counts. You won't please every one, no matter what you choose to put on your walls. I could give you a lot 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.
