Common Mistakes People Make When Choosing
Paint Colors

Painting your home is an effective
way to make it look better and
brighter. Choosing a paint color
may seem like an easy task to do,
but it is not as simple as picking
paint colors and buying
paintbrushes. There are a lot of
things to consider before painting
your interior walls. 
Picking the right shade that will
cover the whole room, one that
you will have to live with for
years, is a hard decision to
make. There are hundreds of
shades and textures to choose
from.
Simply looking at a single paint
chip or sample is not enough to
imagine it as the color of a
room. Because of our lack of
imagination, we are bound to
make a lot of mistakes when
choosing.
Here are some of the common
mistakes people make, how to
avoid them, and tips for
choosing paint colors:
1. Picking the Color First
Picking the right paint color may
seem like the first thing to do,
but it should actually be one of
the last things you do. You will
want to see how the fabrics and
furniture in the living space look
first before picking the paint
color that will match them all. 
Don’t forget to take into
consideration how natural and
artificial light affects the whole
feel of the room. There are
some colors that don’t look
appealing under different lights.
What you can do is plan the
layout of the room, and then
choose the right color that will
go well with the design and feel
you’re looking for.
2. Picking a Bright Color
Most people, when they want
the room to appear welcoming
and bright, pick the brightest
shade they see. Although a
bright-colored lamp or piece of
furniture will definitely do the
trick, combining it with a bright-
colored wall will make it seem
too strong and unpleasant to
look at.
Knowing how to choose paint
colors means being able to
match all the elements of the
room. If you want to use a bright
color for the wall, use a neutral
color with the furnishings of the
room. Decide which part of the
room you want to focus on, and
let everything else support it.
3. Not Considering the Room
Decor 
The furnishings and decorations
of the room are what complete the
feel of any room. Evaluating the
color scheme of your furniture at
different times of day will help you
see how the color will look under
natural and artificial light.
5. Matte Paint
If you just moved into a living
space, try to add one or two
furniture pieces before you
select the paint color, so that
you will be sure the color will
work.
4. Forgetting the Essence of
the Room
Some people think that painting
their room with one particular
color just because they like it is
enough. They sometimes match
the paint color with their
favorite color. This will make
them lose sight of the essence
of the room.
The main goal of redesigning
and painting the room is to
make it seem more relaxing and
calm or bright and welcoming.
Understanding the
psychological effects of color
combinations is crucial when
deciding how to choose paint
colors for your home interior.
5. Picking Too Many Paint
Colors
Most people have one goal in
mind when repainting or
redesigning their home interior:
to make it bright and vibrant.
However, in the pursuit of
having a vibrant room, you can
make the mistake of adding too
many paint colors, making it
look disarrayed. If you want your
home interior to be pleasant to
look at, it needs texture and
contrast. Focus on the color
scheme, and use up to three or
four colors only.
6. Ignoring Trends
In previous years, bright paint
colors were the trend, but with
all the recent modern
innovations, black tones and
metallic colors are the latest
trends. If you have a hard time
choosing paint colors, stick with
neutral and pastel colors.
Black and gray are perfect for
elegant designs, hot orange for
a more homey feel, and light
colors for a brighter and more
vibrant design. 
Choosing from all the different
types of house paint can be
overwhelming, but there are
professionals who can help you.

paint job. If you are planning to
