Testimonial:

We were very satisfied with the demeanoras well as the skills of Gary & Eric Tyler. They did a great job of painting the interior baseboards & other touch up areas of our home. They showed up on time & worked diligently until all the areas were painted to perfection. We would highly recommend them to anyone that needed this type of work done.

How to Choose Colors

How to Choose Colors

Inspirational Room

Begin at the Beginning

Determine what features or existing finishes in the room you would consider permanent. Consider the cabinets, tile or a brick fireplace. For example, if the wood of your kitchen cabinets has a red undertone, make sure the paint color you choose works well with that hue.

Create a Focal Point

Emphasize your home's attractive architectural features, such as crown molding or arched window treatments, with contrasting paint - lighter or darker than the wall - or by painting them with a glossy finish. You can also make one wall an accent wall by painting it a different color, giving it a faux finish, adding wallpaper or a border.

Unify the Color Flow

You can unify rooms by using a common color palette. Create distinct spaces by altering the shade and hue within the common palette.

Emphasize or Minimize

Color can emphasize certain features - and minimize others. A long narrow room will look wider if you use a slightly darker color on the shorter walls and a lighter color on the longer walls. You can make a ceiling appear higher by applying a lighter color, or lower with a darker color. To give a big room a more intimate feel, paint the walls in colors that advance toward you, such as red, gold, orange and brown. To help a small room seem larger, paint the walls in colors that make them appear to recede, such as blue, green or violet.

Reflect on Light Sources

Remember that the color you choose may look different at various times of the day and night. The warm tones of incandescent lights will have a different influence on the color than the natural light of day. Once you're aware of how different light sources can affect your color choices, you can change your room's "mood" to match the pace of your day.

Selecting a Sheen

Sherwin Williams

Exterior paint comes in a full range of sheens. The finish you choose will be based on the type of surface you're painting and the durability and final appearance you want to achieve.

Flat/ Matte - This finish softens the look of an exterior and helps hide surface blemishes. Flat finishes are ideal for body siding.

Satin - With its slight gloss, this finish offers the benefits of a flat finish with added cleanability. It works best for:

  • Trim
  • Window Frames
  • Shutters
  • Surfaces that need routine cleaning

Gloss - This lustrous, durable finish is perfect for areas that require frequent cleaning. Gloss finishes, however, may accentuate surface imperfections. This finish is ideal for:

  • Doors
  • Garage doors
  • Decorative metal (lamp posts, metal trim)
  • Functional metal (gutters, downspouts, railings)
  • Accent trim

High Gloss - This extremely hard and shiny finish provides a rich, smooth luster. Gloss finishes, however, may accentuate surface imperfections. This finish is excellent for:

  • Front (main entry) doors
  • Decorative fixtures
  • Accent trim
