The ideal customer is the one who wants beauty and creative design. They give a designer free reign. A lot of potential customers scour all the stores and the internet to find the very best prices. The best deals really are through the professionals as they know their business. They don't make the mistakes that you could possibly make in making choices. It's like loving a dress in the store and getting it home and hating it. This is a norm, and it happens all the time.
While working at the golf course this morning, I was reading several articles about confidence. That isn't something I can give you, but I can help you work to it. Just by using a poster board to try faux painting, will either give you confidence or make you totally give up on it.
I can't express the word VISUAL enough. If you can see it, you can decide if you like it or not.
All of the paint companies are coming out with many ads on color, trying to entice you to use their product. The following are a few of Sherwin Williams ads:
These are only a few of their ads. Notice that each color way has a number of colors on one strip. These are the hues of that color. They all blend so nicely together. Tomorrow I will show you how other companies are advertising so I don't seem so one sided.
The guru of colors is Kate Smith. She also has a website, so you can google her. All of these paint companies are seeking your support. Remember, you are the client, you are seeking knowledge from the paint experts.
I seem to have gravitated to paints that are, one coat covers. I do my own painting at present. I do believe, that this will be the last time I attempt it, as I don't like going up and down ladders. I am so much a perfectionist, that I prefer to do all my own work.
These are a few tips:
A room will only be sunny during the day, not at night. Decide when you spend the most time in any of your rooms. This will also dictate the hue of the color you want to use. Figure out the feeling you want to convey at a given time. Mostly, the amount of time you are spending in the room. This helps more than you think. Use the color strips to help, and use that little bit of paint on a wall and see what happens. In the very beginning, I stated " Color is the single most important thing in design", and I will continue to tell you this always! Seeing color in different light, will help give you feeling.
Feeling is how you feel when you see something you like, or love. This is how you need to feel about color in any given room. From this you work toward the BONES of the room.
What are the bones of a room????????
