Decorating Tip #10 - Color Choices, Test Before You Buy

When deciding on colors, first decide what you want to change, paint, fabrics, wood finishes, rugs etc. and shop around, you will be surprised at the selection, variety and abundant availability to find what suits your desires. Local stores and the internet are good starting places. Many will supply free samples so you can see how they actually compliment your room or not.

Before buying try the samples in your room and let them stay in place for a few days to see if they reflect what you are looking for. Check out how they look in the different light situations the room will go through during the day. What direction does the room face?


This can have dramatic effect on what the color will really look like in the room. If the light comes from the north, darker colors will often appear darker while a southern exposure will provide a lighter color appearance. You may need to adjust the shade of the color to adjust for the lighting situation.

Best piece of advice: Try Before You Buy
