An open floor plan embraces all the space your home has to offer, making for a more welcoming atmosphere. You’ll need to choose the right interior painting colors to set the tone you’re going for. Below are some tips on how to choose the best color scheme for your home improvement project.

Match Your Floor Plan’s Intent

The colors you choose for your project will sway the overall atmosphere of your home, so they need to coincide with the goals you have for your open floor plan. Are you going for a cozy setting or an open atmosphere? Warm colors will set an intimate tone, while cooler shades will make your room feel airier.

Choose Your Color Scheme Shades

Once you know what effect you’re going for, you’ll need to choose a color scheme, a collection of 3-5 of your favorite shades. If you’ve already chosen décor and furniture, then you’ll need to consider their colors when choosing shades for your color scheme. Choose colors that complement each other, instead of going with one color in different shades. For instance, a warm, intimate room could be painted beige, with dark furniture and bright pillows, giving it a homier feel.

Speak With a Color Consulting Expert

If you can’t decide on an interior painting color scheme, speak with an experienced color consulting professional who can advise you. A color or design expert will use their knowledge of design, color theory, and your personal tastes to craft a customized color scheme for your home’s interior painting needs. They’re able to take the guesswork out of your decision and choose schemes that you know will be perfect.
