Choosing the color to paint the walls is an important task that needs to be solved during the renovation process.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, this is due to the fact that color can completely change the perception of space and turn a room into a cozy or warm one, or make it gloomy and cold.

Ask yourself about the role of color

First of all, ask yourself what role color will play in the interior.

When choosing a color, it is necessary to consider the overall style of the room. The type of flooring, furniture, decorative elements, etc. are important.

Decide on the warmth of the color

Next, you should choose the warmth of the color: you can prefer more yellow, warm tones or opt for grayer, cooler shades.

Make some color samples

Many factors influence color perception.

Among them are the way the wall is prepared for painting, the surface onto which the shade is applied (this may not only be a wall, but also, for example, a furniture front), and the lighting (natural or artificial).

That's why professionals always do test paintings right in the room and evaluate them under different light sources.
