Clients often come to me to begin their decorating project, and request to keep the paint color because they've just changed it. They tell me that it took forever to make a decision on what color to choose, and would like to build the room around it. *long suffering sigh*
DON'T DO THIS!
Yes, paint is the single easiest way to make a change in a room. When you move into a new home, it's the fastest way to remove the personality of the previous homeowner, or to make new construction feel like your own. When you're remodeling, it feels like immediate progress... and who doesn't love instant gratification?
But how do you choose? For some, standing in front of that wall o' paint chips brings on near-total paralysis - leading you to close your eyes and just grab something! For others, it's exhilarating to imagine the possibilities, so you take home one of each just to daydream about it. Either way... Resist the temptation!! It is far easier to match your paint to your furniture, than your furniture to your paint. Here's why:
If you're like most people, chances are good that the furniture you purchase is going to have to meet a number of specific requirements: a look that you enjoy, the comfort you need, and a size that is appropriate for your space. You may or may not get the choice of a selection of custom fabrics, out of which, one or two may work with your desired color scheme. What I'm trying to illustrate is that finding the right furnishings can be a challenge. Paint, on the other hand, is INFINITE! With today's technology, ANY color can be matched and reproduced instantly, giving you the ability to coordinate it exactly with your hard-won new furniture.
So, would you say that it's easier to find the perfect fabric that miraculously coordinates with your randomly selected paint color, or to select your paint color directly from that perfect fabric?
Let me boil it down: paint is cheap and easy, furniture considerably less so on both counts.
