Which PAINT COLOR can LOWER your BLOOD PRESSURE?

Did you know, BLUE brings down blood pressure and slows respiration and heart rate. That’s why it’s considered calming, relaxing, and serene, and is often recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms. Be careful, however: A pastel blue that looks pretty on the paint chip can come across as unpleasantly chilly when it’s on the walls and furnishings, especially in a room that receives little natural light. If you opt for a light blue as the primary color in a room, balance it with warm hues in the furnishings and fabrics.

Which COLOR PAINT makes BABIES CRY more?

YELLOW! It’s true, babies seem to cry more in a yellow room … and people are more likely to lose their tempers in a yellow room; therefore, the color yellow is NOT a good choice for a main color scheme. Although, yellow can work in kitchens, dining rooms, and bathrooms, where happy color is energizing and uplifting.

COLOR CONSULTATIONS! Help Selecting Interior or Exterior Paint Colors

 

Selecting the right paint color is a daunting task for most.  Here are two ways to get the job done.

Option 1: 

1. Do it yourself.
2. Try to narrow done your basic color desire down to one or two basic colors (blue, green, red, yellow).
3. Go to one or all of your local paint stores and gather up samples. This can be the hard part, because the lighting in the paint store is different than in your home.  When you select a color that you like at the store, chances are it will look different at home.  So, get A LOT of samples.
4. During daylight, look at the paint swatches in on each wall of the room.  Depending on lighting, it can look different on each wall.  If you’d like, you can look at them again at night.
5. Hopefully, a couple of the colors will  look good to you. If yes, I would suggest you go back to the paint store(s) and get a few more swatches of the same color, if possible – order large swatches, or get a sample of the paint to test.  If you decide to get a sample of the paint, you have three choices.  1.  Paint it right on the wall (be sure to do a swatch on each wall – lighting again), 2.  Get a piece of poster sized wall board from your local box store and paint it – then you can move it around the room with out having to paint swatches all over your walls, 3. Most box stores now carry designer sample boards, they are about the size of a piece of paper.  Get 4 and paint all of them and place on each wall. Do this for all colors you are considering.
6. Hopefully, you’ll love one of the colors.  If so start painting!
7. If not, go back to step 2 and do it all over again … and again … (if necessary) until you find the perfect color for you.

Option 2:

1.  Hire a professional and get a Color Consultation.  Someone like myself will come to your home and bring all the swatches to you.  I typically carry ALL the swatches for 2-3 different brands of paint.  Depending on how many rooms and how many colors you select, it can take as little as 1 hour, most take 2-3 hours … and you’re ready to start painting immediately!

If you’re located in the San Francisco Bay Area, contact me for more information about getting a color consultation.  If you’re elsewhere, contact me anyway – I can probably refer you to someone.

Paint Color Consultations

Color is one HOT topic! 

Everyone wants to know what color(s) to paint inside their home.  You can look at color trends and find colors that you are drawn to, but please understand that lighting is key.  Just because it’s on the hot list for colors in 2008 doesn’t mean it’ll look hot in your home.  You still have to do the work.  You can select a basic color from the 2008 trends then either hire someone to do a color consultation or do the leg work yourself and go get similar color swatches from one or two paint stores.  You’ll find that some look to bright, some to dull, some will look dirty and some will have a underling shade of green, pink, yellow…

You’ll also need to keep in mind existing colors that will stay in the room.  Make sure the paint color you select coordinates with the flooring, cabinets, wood work and any fabrics that will also be in the room.

When I do a paint color consultation I typically start with Kelly Moore paint.  I have used Kelly Moore for so long that I know most of the colors very well, and I find that there are a few shades of yellow, green, blue and red that are very appealing to most people.  However, once in a while those same popular colors will look terrible in some homes.  Why?  The lighting.  Natural lighting will bring out different undertones.  Whether there’s a lot of natural light or not enough.

It’s really not that hard to find paint colors that you like.  The hard part is making the decision which one will look best in a room(s) of your home.  If you’re painting yourself, go ahead and paint a wall.  What’s the worst thing that can happen? You won’t like the color and have to buy  eand paint it again.  If you’re paying a professional painter to paint, you might want to spend a few more dollars and get a professional color consultation.  You’ll be glad you did!
