The interior paint in your home is beginning to fade and chip, and you are ready for a change. Unfortunately, your enthusiasm to start painting was dampened when you saw how many colors there are to choose from. Luckily, there are a few simple dos and don'ts you can keep in mind that will help you choose the ideal interior paint color for your home and aesthetic.

Here are a few simple dos and don'ts that can help you find an amazing interior paint color.  

Do Draw Inspiration from Other Elements in the Room

If you are really confused as to which color will work with each room of your home, consider the other decorative elements in the room. For example, do you have a throw pillow featuring a stunning shade of blue or green? Is there a throw rug with a beautiful gray that you have always loved? Use these accent colors as the inspiration for the color of your walls.

Don't Think You Have to Stick with Neutral Colors

Neutral colors are a safe option, but they can sometimes be a little boring. If you want to add a splash of color, go ahead and incorporate your favorite hues into the space. However, be aware that if you are planning on selling your home in the near future, the bold hues you choose for your space might not be a color that potential buyers will love.

If you still want to add some color to the space but do not want to choose a color that might put off potential buyers, choose a shade of blue, green, or gray and use it to paint an accent wall. This will allow you to enjoy a splash of color without negatively impacting your home's resale value.

Do Avoid Overwhelming Yourself with Too Many Options

One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is giving themselves too many options. Instead, narrow down your options to a specific color palette and go from there. Choose two or three colors from this family and make your choice from there.

Don't Try to Choose a Paint Color on Your Own

Finally, if you simply cannot decide which color you want to choose, and don't want to waste your money repainting your interior if you make a mistake, it is time to call in a professional. 

When it comes to choosing the ideal interior paint color for your home and design aesthetic, there are several simple dos and don'ts you need to remember.
