Many home owners are overwhelmed when they discover the unbelievable array of colors available. You may not even be able to tell the difference between similar colors when looking at a paint chip. However, even the smallest details within the color could change the entire feeling of the room.

Sometimes, painting an un-scrutinized color can have disastrous effects. We often respond to distress calls from parents who paint the nursery too bright. Or home owners who attempt their own faux finish and wind up with muddy looking walls, or even worse a room where the walls clash with the furniture.

Color is complicated. Each slight variation of color is made from several different shades and tints. This is why you should choose a designer who has a sensitive eye for color.

Samples - There is no charge for this service, however sample boards must be returned to Inspired Interiors. (A $15 charge will incur for each sample not returned.)

The information age has allowed the design industry to flourish. It’s become much easier for the novice or hobbyist to start-up a design company. We, homeowners must exercise caution because very few of today’s designers have proper artistic training. Many designers can’t even see color properly. EJ, being a canvas artist is trained to see the minute details within colors and their tints.

Many things need to be considered when working with color. You need to find a color that enhances the permanent fixtures in the home (i.e. tiles, cabinets, flooring, etc.). A good color is one that works well with your furniture and properly complements or contrasts different elements of the room. Before you commit to a color, precise care must be taken to coordinate the colors from room to room.

Another complication in working with color is lighting. Colors can look unbelievably different depending on the lighting. Be certain that you view your sample under the proposed lighting at different times of the day. Natural lighting filtering from windows can also dramatically affect color.
