The Psychology of Choosing House Paint

Whether you’re painting your home to prepare it for sale, or simply to make it more attractive for your own enjoyment, choosing the right colour is important.

A colour isn’t just a matter of taste, it’s also, to a large extent, about the
emotions it elicits. If you’re painting your foyer, for example, you may want it to seem bright and welcoming. So, light orange tones might be appropriate as that colour is often interpreted as friendly.

In your living room, you may want to create an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation. In that case, consider shades of greens or grays as those colours communicate peacefulness and calm.

Want the rec room to look vibrant and energetic? Purples and reds communicate those emotions. Where do you find more information about colour psychology? There are plenty of charts available online, some of which you can view here.

They can help you select just the right colour to convey the feeling you want
for a room.

Of course, if all else fails, you can’t go wrong with soft beiges, especially
when selling your home. Neutral colours are often interpreted as reliable.
