How to Choose the Right Colours for Your Home

Expert Paint Tips from Painting Lab

One of the most exciting yet challenging parts of any painting project is choosing the right colours for your home. Whether it’s a fresh coat for your living room or an exterior revamp, selecting the right palette is crucial for creating the perfect atmosphere. Kris Tomsic, Managing Director at Painting Lab, shares his top tips on choosing colours that will make your home shine.

Consider Your Home’s Architecture

The style and design of your home play a significant role in determining which colours will look best. A modern home might benefit from bold, clean colours, while a heritage home may look stunning in more classic, neutral tones. It’s essential to think about the architectural features you want to highlight and how your colour choices can enhance them.

Take Natural Light Into Account

Lighting can make or break a colour. Rooms with plenty of natural light tend to look best with cool tones like whites, blues, or greys, while darker rooms may benefit from warmer shades like beige, soft yellows, or earthy tones. Test your chosen colours at different times of day to see how they look under natural and artificial light.

Create Harmony with Your Surroundings

When choosing exterior paint colours, it’s important to consider your surroundings. For example, homes near the coast, like those in Sydney’s Northern Beaches or the Gold Coast, often look best with softer, neutral tones that blend seamlessly with the natural landscape. At Painting Lab, we can guide you on the best options to ensure your home complements its environment.

Test Colours Before You Commit

Before painting an entire room or the exterior of your house, it’s always a good idea to test a sample on the wall. Paint can look different in large areas compared to a small swatch. At Painting Lab, we offer a colour consultation to help you make the right decision and visualise the final result before committing.
