Interior Paint Colors & Palettes
One of our favorite decorating tips is to not rush the color of a room. Whether it's the bathroom, bedroom, living room, dining room...sit with it, live in it, let it tell you what interior paint colors it needs. Maybe the room is particularly dark most of the day. Or, maybe that giant piece of furniture you are bringing with you is more dominating than you think and the color must match it. There are a million reasons to take your time reading all the valuable information on this page before you take the plunge with a particular palette. Sit back and consider the rainbow.
