How To Choose The Right Colour For Your Room

Colour selection is important in every room as it sets the tone and helps you to better plan the rest of the décor. But how do you choose which one is right for your room? Is it all about personal taste, or are there other things to consider?

Consider the lighting in the room

Always consider the lighting when choosing colours for your space. Does your room benefit from ample natural light, or do you rely on artificial lighting to brighten it up? The colour you see in a store may look very different when applied to your walls, simply because of the way lighting affects it. Natural light tends to bring out the true colour, while artificial lighting can cast different tones and shadows.

Take the samples home

After narrowing down your colour choices, be sure to take samples home and test them in the actual room. It’s wise to bring a few variations of the colour you like because the shade you love in-store may need to be lighter or darker once it’s in your home. Leave the samples on the wall or floor for a few days and observe them at different times of the day, under both natural and artificial light, to ensure you’re making the right choice.

Consider an app

There are numerous apps available that can assist with your renovation, including some that allow you to try out different colours in your room virtually, without using any paint. These tools are incredibly helpful for visualising how a colour will look in your space before you commit to it, saving you time and effort.

What emotion do you want to evoke?

Colours have a powerful impact on our emotions, so it’s important to choose a hue that aligns with the mood you want to create in the room. Cool colours like light blue and green can promote calmness and serenity, while warm shades like red and orange can add energy and vibrancy to a space. Consider the atmosphere you want to achieve and select a colour that complements it.

Look for inspiration

If you’re unsure about which colour to choose for your walls or flooring, or if you’re uncertain about how different colours will work with your décor and furniture, seek inspiration from others. You can explore online galleries, browse through home design websites, or use tools like Tile Wizard’s inspirational wall. Sometimes, seeing what others have done can help clarify your own preferences and guide you toward the perfect colour choice.
