It doesn't take a genius or even a professional painting company to see that grey is in, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Shades of grey have become all the rage amongst homeowners for interior and exterior painting. It's a great way to choose a neutral other than white without going as drastic as black.
However, once they decide to choose grey for their interior walls, what surprises homeowners is just how many shades exist. There's no obvious grey to use for the rooms you want to paint this color, so you still have decisions to make about the hues. Before you make your selections, it's a good plan to get informed about greys and how to pick the appropriate shade for your wall paint.
What Goes Into Getting The Right Grey For Your Walls?
You decide to schedule a consultation with a local painting company and suddenly find yourself staring at a dozen or more paint swatches, all in various shades of grey. It's apparent that each one is different, you just hadn't anticipated having this many options to choose from, and it can feel a bit overwhelming.
Before you become frazzled, use these essential tips to help make sense of the situation:
- Consider Lighting
Any colors you like, grey or otherwise, you should look at in the light for that room - both natural and artificial. A hue can change dramatically based on the lighting situation. If you're not doing all of the walls in a room that color, pick the walls that get light from the windows or purposely choose the walls that don't get as much natural light.
- Consider Accents
Grey, with other paint or decor colors, will change based on these details. Look at the grey shades you like next to different color swatches or even in the room near these accent colors.
- Choose Your Focal Point
Is grey the leading role or a background color? The hue you select needs to support this. Softer greys are usually better for backgrounds, and darker, more dramatic greys tend to steal the spotlight.
Another integral point to make is that the company you choose to consult and work with will make a significant contribution - or should. Customers who select Country Painting are more likely to get the professional expertise and advice needed to make good color choices.
