All commercial painting companies will tell you that choosing paint colors is a challenging task. There are so many from which to choose and it’s difficult to determine which colors will fit your environment. When you take into account a handful of guidelines for choosing the right tones, the task becomes much less cumbersome.
Think about what your space is being used for
Some colors are a better fit for some industries than they are for others. For example, understated tones, such as various shades of gray and white are great for professional environments such as offices and banks. Retail spaces often look to more bold, tantalizing colors that will influence their shoppers, such as various shades of red and orange.
How much natural light is coming in
Light will significantly impact your choice of paint color. Rooms with little to no natural light might call for lighter tones while a room that has a plentiful amount of light can benefit from darker tones. It’s also important to consider how light will change the appearance of some colors.
Consider color impact
Feng shui can help you determine the colors best suited for your workspace. Feng shui recognizes that colors have a psychological impact on workers and visitors. For example, blue and black are associated with supporting inner work and helping people to concentrate. Red is believed to support life energy while green is associated with growth and decisiveness.
The size of your spaces will help determine proper colors
If you’ve got a tight space, open it up with lighter colors. If you’ve got an expansive space that you want to make more intimate, use darker colors. Furthermore, you can cozy-up any room with darker tones.
What is the desired temperature in the space?
Colors can be hot or cold and everything in between. To “warm up” a space, use orange, red and yellow. Peach is also a popular color used for warming spaces. Looking to cool down your space? Consider light blue or light green.
