Here are some tips to help you select the best color:
If you want a room to reflect or give the sensation of heat, you can use warm colors such as: yellow, orange and red. Now, if you want to reflect a colder environment, use the colors: green, blue and purple.
Light colors: white and yellow, are light and cheerful. Use them in a small, dark room if you want to give an effect of greater space or clarity.
If you have a very spacious room and you want to give it a more welcoming atmosphere, it is advisable to use dark colors, such as dark blue, dark green, purple, mustard.
Color can also define the style of decoration. Using good technique, you can accentuate the details you want to stand out and dull those you want, such as: if you want to highlight a piece of furniture or a special art object, paint the background wall in a color that contrasts with the object .
A single color in slightly different tones, creates an effect of unity, in the different environments of the house. For example, painting the study in ivory white and the room in chalk white creates a unified environment and when moving from one environment to another you do not feel the visual impact.
Color optically varies the dimensions of a room. If the ceiling is too high, paint it a dark color; if it's too low, paint it a light color.
For a joyful atmosphere, combine two opposing colors like green and red or blue and orange. Choose the tone well when combining them so that they do not have a discordant effect.
If you want to paint a piece of three colors, choose those that are at an equal distance on the color wheel. For example, a combination of purple, orange and green in soft tones is very harmonious. Pick one to dominate the overall decor.
When selecting the tones to use, it is important to take into account the carpets, upholstery and curtains so that the environment is harmonized.
You can give each room in the house a color, for example it is not the same to paint a study in which you can use stimulating colors such as dark green or mustard, than a bedroom where the colors should be more relaxing such as blue, green , pink.
Before choosing the tones that best suit your space, it is advisable to carry out a color test, since many people tend to paint the house tone on tone and this tends to deteriorate the walls of the house and distort the colors, so you should use it a larger quantity of paint to obtain the desired color. To do these tests you can use a white sheet to test the colors and then transfer it to the wall to see the effect of the color and in this way not to damage the wall.
