Choosing the Right Paint Color

Choosing the Right Paint Color

Your kitchen renovation project is in the finishing stages. All that’s left is selecting the paint color for the walls. How can you possibly decide on the right paint color with all the choices available to you?  According to Cranbury Design’s Project Managers, who help our clients make all their kitchen selections, from cabinet color, countertop materials, backsplash tile, flooring and everything in between, there is a process to getting to the right decision.

First, gather all the selections used to create the kitchen design.  And don’t forget any other home decorations you want considered in the color scheme.  Cabinet colors, countertop materials and the tile used for the backsplash should all be reviewed together.  Next, select sample paint swatches that complement the overall color theme.  You can also review paint colors online. Benjamin Moore’s website https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us can get you started, or Sherwin Williams, https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners  Make sure you get actual paint sample chips before your final purchases, as colors viewed online can vary based on the type of computer monitor, tablet or phone screen you are using.

Then these colors should be assessed to see how they look in your actual space.  This is one of the most important selection steps given that lighting, both natural and sourced from lighting fixtures is one of the most critical factors in how colors are perceived.  A grey color in one environment can appear blue or even lilac in another.

Another consideration, especially in this age of open floor plans in kitchen design, is what other rooms, home furnishings and paint colors can be seen from the newly renovated space.  Are you looking for a complement or a contrast of color?  Our Project Management team can help you easily get to the right decision for you and your home renovation design style.
