Quick Tips For Choosing Paint Colour

A big focus of mine over the last few years has been painting our interior. We started with the trim and doors, and how I am focusing on freshening up the 1990s beige walls. I have been blown away at the difference a coat of paint can make.
As I gear myself up to finish painting the last two rooms of my house, I wanted to share some tips for choosing paint colour that I have learnt along the way.


#1. Please don't buy paint straight from the colour swatch


#2. Pick your fabrics first and then the paint colour
#3. Collection colour swatches to narrow down your options


#4. Paint drys darker than it appears on the paint swatch


#5. Test colour with sample pots first
