Paint is an indispensable part of home improvement, but many people often fall into the wrong when it comes to choosing and matching paint. In order to help you avoid these unnecessary troubles, Qijia Xiaobian will reveal some common paint selection and matching mistakes for you, and provide corresponding solutions.
First, first of all, let's take a look at the common mistakes of painting and decoration
1. Worry about poor color selection
Many people are afraid of choosing the wrong color and worry that the color of the home environment is too cluttered. To overcome this fear, you can start by picking a favorite color from the carpets, drawings or fabrics you already have in your home and testing it on the wall. If the color is too eye-catching, ask the paint shop to adjust the tone or add gray to make it more astringent.
2. There are too many colors on the interior wall
While color can add vibrancy to a home, too many intense colors in a room can make it look cluttered. If you already have a colorful carpet or decoration in your home, choose a relatively light shade for the wall to make the carpet or decoration the focal point.
3. There are too few colors on the interior wall
Similarly, a wall color that is too monotonous can make a room look boring. To break the monotony, try using the 60-30-10 rule that designers often use: 60% of the colors come from the walls, 30% from the upholstery, floors and window sills, and 10% from ornaments and artwork. This will rejuvenate the white walls.

4. Hurry up and choose colors
Due to the tight schedule, some people rush to choose a paint color only to be unsatisfied. To avoid this, it is recommended that you draw a 4×4-foot specimen on the wall and observe how it changes under different light sources before deciding on a color. This will help you get a more accurate idea of what the selected color will actually look like.
5. Forget about the undertone
If you want to change the color of your walls, the choice of primer is crucial.
Primers ensure that the new painted color is not disturbed by the old color, so that it faithfully reflects the color you have chosen.
When choosing and matching paints, it's important to think carefully. The right color combination can not only make your home more beautiful and comfortable, but also add color to your life. Hopefully, the above suggestions will help you avoid common paint selection and matching mistakes, and make your home renovation smoother and more satisfying.
