A simple decision at face value, choose a paint colour or colour scheme for your house. This can turn even the strongest amongst us into trembling wimps. The fear of picking the wrong colour has many householders paralyzed and unable to make a decision. You can still hire a professoinal decorator or Colour Design Expert to help you solve your colour selection difficulty. However, if you would rather do it on thier own use a simple technique that I like to recommend to my clients and decorating workshop students.
1. Make a visit to the local home improvement center and head straight for the paint department. Pick whatever colour you take a shine to. Don't worry about where you might be using the colour for now. Just have a good time with the choices. This will help you reduce the intimidation of choosing a colour. This is the first step in overcoming your fear.
2. Grab you favorite fashion magazines and cut out images with colours that you find attractive. In the end, when you are drawn 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 house that you just absolutely love. Use the colours from that piece to guide you in your colour choices.
4. Buy sample pots of paint colours that you have selected and apply them to a small section of your wall (tape it to your wall). Watch how the colour changes through out the 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 replicate this exercise.
Remember that choosing a paint colour or colour scheme for your house is absolutely not a life or death choice. Approach the choice using a sense of humor and adventure knowing that regardless if you choose wrong or right, at least you made a decision. If you chose the colour you love Congratulations. If you chose a colour that you have decided you didn't like Congratulations too! You are just one step closer to finding the colour that defines your individuality and one step further away from the fear of using colour.
Don’t 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 will not please every one, it doesn't matter what you pick 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 others have chosen, but they like it. That is all that matters these days.
