Does a fan deck scare you?
The color of your walls can be the most critical part of your design scheme. When the shade suits the space, a level of perfection is reached that is so high, one might not even notice the color. Or, the color is so right for the room that it sings, and presents a stage for the other elements to join in the chorus. But, missing a color can have equally strong results, of the negative kind.
So, how can you best gauge the color without painting and repainting for months on end? (Which I have done!)
Paint Boards! These can be carried around the room to be seen in different lights. But, when you are ready to put the project down for a moment, you don't have to have a paint square on your wall.
To begin, purchase 20x30" foam boards and sample pot of the desired color.
Paint the boards using a paint brush or a roller (best).
Move the boards around the room at various times of day to confirm which one is the ideal shade for the space.
You can even check your accent color. A dressing room will be coral, above, and the master bedroom will be one of those shades of gray.
Once you know you love it, paint that room!
