Looking For Color Inspiration For Your Interior Paint Project?

Choosing colors for your home’s interior can be exciting, overwhelming and challenging – all at the same time. Will you go with multiple colors in a single room? How will you choose? What if you don’t like what the final product looks like? (By the way, I can recommend some online paint color tools to help with that last question!)

There are a lot of creative ways you can make choosing your interior paint colors a little less stressful and risky, such as testing out one small room or picking colors that are already in your home. Read more tips on choosing paint color here.

But sometimes it really helps to see what colors other people are using in home interiors, and that’s where finding a good blog can make all the difference.

Here Are 3 Great Blogs For Interior Paint Color Inspiration:

Wondering How To Choose a Paint Color?

Choosing a paint color for your home’s exterior or for a room can be so challenging. Color makes a huge impact on a home’s visual appeal and sometimes it’s hard to just imagine what a room or home will look like in a completely different color.

You might want to pick a risky, edgy color that works with the feel of your room, but are afraid you’ll regret it. Or maybe you want to pick a simple, neutral color but are overwhelmed by all of the different shades and color palettes out there.

Online Tools Are Out There – And Can Help

That’s where online tools for choosing paint color are incredibly useful! Here are some really good paint color tools – check them out, and if you have any others you like, mention them in the comments. I’d love to hear about them.
