COLORS MAKE A DIFFERENCE! 

Colors make a difference in the way we feel!  

Choose carefully...but don't stress if you choose a color that you don't love.  It's just paint...and paint can be changed... but a little preplanning can go a long way in getting to the finish line successfully the FIRST time.  

WHO YA GONNA CALL?

Hiring a professional artist with an excellent reputation and work history will save you a lot of second guessing and a lot of time. Ask friends. Look around you when you are out and ask who painted any murals you see that you like. Get online and GOOGLE! Look at pictures and testimonials!  There are MANY great artists out there who would LOVE to help you with your project. Just be ready to state your budget during your initial consultation so that you can help THEM to help YOU!

WHICH COLORS TO CHOOSE...

Bright primary colors POP and STIMULATE our senses. Bright colors denote a sense of youth, whimsy and creativity. Subdued colors like beige and grey sit quietly on the wall waiting for artistic adornment.  

There is a unique psychology involved in the selection of colors for any environment and scouring design magazines can be very useful but at the end of the day, honoring your own personal preferences makes for a happy final result.

Colors can make a room seem larger or smaller, cooler or warmer...lively or calm. And there are a baZILLION color choices! (Thank goodness!) And try to embrace the notion that trial and error CAN be fun and make for some good storytelling!)

I have been in many homes with very subdued wall colors acting as a quiet backdrop to hang  fantastically COLORFUL works of art that can provide focal points and infuse the viewer with a surge of "Happy".  It is a symbiotic flow that I personally like a LOT. Sophistication can be very fun!

GET TO KNOW YOURSELF! YOU ARE WONDERFUL!

The color of the sky is not your limit! Getting to know your own personality and preferences will make choosing your palette more entertaining and turn your environment into an expression of YOU! 

Learning about oneself is FUN and ENLIGHTENING! And personally, I think that is what life should be! FUN and ENLIGHTENING!
