COLOR GUIDE
Color Selection is important. Picking the right color maximizes the beauty of your interior space. Here’s a quick guide that may help you decide on your color palette.
Furniture plays a pivotal role in selecting a color palette because it serves as a central design element around which other decor is coordinated. The color of the walls should complement the furniture, enhancing its appeal rather than clashing with it.
For example, bold furniture pieces might work best with neutral walls, while subtle-colored furniture may allow for more vibrant wall colors.
Ensuring that the paint color aligns with the furniture’s style and hue helps create a cohesive and inviting living space, where the colors support rather than overpower the room’s features.
Lighting significantly affects how paint colors are perceived in a space. Natural light shows the truest color, while artificial lighting can alter appearances, making them warmer or cooler.
Therefore, understanding the room’s light sources is crucial for selecting the right hues. For instance, a room with ample natural light might handle darker shades well, whereas a poorly lit room might need lighter tones to feel brighter and more spacious.
Matching the color palette with both natural and intended artificial lighting will ensure the color remains consistent throughout the day.
The size of the space is essential when choosing a color palette as colors can influence the perception of space. Light colors are expansive and airy, making small rooms feel larger and more open, while dark colors can make a large space feel more intimate and grounded.
Thus, selecting a palette should involve considering how colors impact the room’s perceived and actual size, aiming to enhance the overall feel and functionality of the space.

Texture in materials—such as furniture upholstery, curtains, and decorative accents—interacts with paint colors in nuanced ways. Textured surfaces can soften or intensify colors depending on their depth and the light they absorb or reflect.
A glossy finish can make colors look more vibrant and deeper, while a matte finish might showcase a more subdued effect.
Choosing a color palette that harmonizes with the room’s textures ensures a balanced aesthetic where materials and paint complement each other, enhancing the tactile and visual experience of the space.
