An easy choice at face value, select a paint colour or colour scheme for the home. 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. It is possible to hire a professoinal decorator or Colour Design Expert that might help you solve your colour selection predicament. However, for those who would rather take action on thier own use an easy technique that I recommend to my clients and decorating workshop students.
1. Make a visit to your local diy centre and head directly for the paint department. Pick whatever colour you are taking a shine to. Don't worry about where you might be using the colour for now. Just have a great time with the choices. This may help you reduce the intimidation of choosing a colour. This is the first step in overcoming your apprehension.
2. Grab you favourite fashion mags and cut out images with colours that you find appealing. After all, when you are attracted to a colour in make-up or fashion, odds are you will like that colour inside your home.
3. Find an inspirational piece in the home that you absolutely adore. 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 your wall). Watch how the colour changes throughout the day, watch as it responds to daylight and artificial light. If you definately love the colour, then buy it and begin painting. If you do not enjoy it then repeat this exercise.
Keep in mind that choosing a paint colour or colour scheme for your own home is not a life or death choice. Approach the choice with a sense of fun and adventure knowing that no matter if you choose right or wrong, 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’re 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 want, it doesn't matter what anyone else might think. If you like it, then this is all that counts. You will not please every one, it doesn't matter what you pick to put onto your walls. I could give you many of examples where We have gone in to a home and felt ill with what other people have chosen, but they like it. That is all that matters these days.
