Interior decorating can be a joy when working with a fresh canvas of a home. Whether you just bought a home and are ready to add a splash of color, or want to revamp your existing home’s layout, you can’t go wrong with a few coats of fresh paint. In Miami especially, there’s always a bright, eye-catching color around the corner, but what is right for your home? Take it from us, Bardu Painting, on what you should keep in mind when it comes to interior painters, along with how to snag the perfect painters in Miami to help you achieve the look you always wanted. 

 

Look To The Outdoors For Inspiration

You’ll want to pick a color that you’ll enjoy over many years’ time, but you may also be looking for something a little different. Traditionally, people go with colors they instantly like and are drawn to, and may pick a shade lighter or darker depending on their needs. You can pick that shade of red you love and be done with it, but over time you may tire of even that color, seeing it day in and day out. You can select the color red as a general theme then, and potentially find the right color by looking elsewhere, even outdoors for the best color.

 

Just because your color comes from outside, doesn’t mean it has to be super bright or overwhelming. Nature is beautiful, and filled with more shades of color than you may realize. If your main color is blue, picking the elegant blues of an ocean can be anywhere from the deepest blue to the lightest, almost the color of the white ocean foam if you really want subtle color splashes. Or picking pink of a flamingo can be the almost neon pink of their full plumage, or the highly subtle white-pink of a young flamingo. 

 

If the outdoors aren’t your thing, picking a color off of your favorite artwork is a great way of picking a highly eye-catching color. Artists create their work relying on their sense of shading and color selection, being masters of color and light, thus the colors they choose will be most often vibrant without becoming overwhelming. You can even select a color off of your favorite artwork as an accent wall, with the chosen artwork in the same room to bring it all together even further. 

 

Interior Painters Can Help

If the choice of so many colors is overwhelming to you instead, seeking help from an expert can assist you in narrowing down your choices. Painters from around the Miami area know what colors are a hit for any home, dependent on your style. It also doesn’t mean you can’t bring your own ideas and inspirations along to the meeting, and together you can decide on the color of your dreams. The guidance of a professional painter will be invaluable, as they will be able to note how your wall’s color changes during the sunny parts of the day and how drastic of a change the color goes through once the sun goes down. The last thing you want is to pick too dark of a color and then come dusk, the room feels tight and claustrophobic with such a dark shade. 

 

Of course color swatches are the best way to get multiple shades quickly and easily, and putting them up against the wall can give you a pretty clear idea of what you’re going to get. The only problem is it’s such a small little square that the color may seem more underwhelming than it actually is, lending you to get a bolder shade which might be too much. You always want to get sample buckets of paint to try out a small area of the wall to get a bigger picture idea of the shade, not just a tiny square’s worth. This is also the most cost efficient way of doing it, rather than committing to a color and getting a full gallon of paint, only to realize the shade isn’t right for what you want, resulting in a lot of excess paint. A lot of painters around Miami can attest to households getting the wrong shade and having to start all over, costing both time and money. 

 

The Possibilities Are Endless

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or excited, adding that perfect shade to your house’s walls will bring out the best in your home. The colors are endless in their inspiration, and only you ultimately can pick the right accent to your home. Taking in nature and artwork can give you that inspiration for the final choice. Or seeking professional assistance, both in the color selection and painting process, can save you a potential headache and stress of your home’s upgrade. Color swatches are the tried and true process to picking a great shade, but use them wisely by testing the color on a larger scale to ensure it’s what you’ve always wanted.
