Choosing the right paint colours can highlight architectural features, define spaces in open floor plans, and even influence your mood. Whether you’re updating one room or your entire home, finding the perfect paint colour is easier than you think. You have already made colour choices in your home. Look to your furniture and decor colours and start your colour search there. Be inspired by a specific colour in a throw cushion or a colour in a favourite serving plate.

Once you know your colour direction, decide how light or how dark you want to go with that colour, and how much of it you want to use. Do you want your chosen colour on every wall or only used as an accent colour? Or somewhere in between?

Pick up some paint chips from your local TIMBER MART and see how those colours work in your space. Observe the chip colours at various times of the day as the light changes. If you have a very specific colour you want to use, it can be easily colour matched by a TIMBER MART Paint Specialist. Once you have selected your paint colour, measure your room and bring your measurements in-store to calculate paint quantities for your paint project.
