Why It’s Easy Being Green

paint colors crestwood paintingDiane Stewart at Color Sense Consulting is often asked “What is the most versatile color?” Here’s her answer:

“Many people would like to know which color is the most foolproof option. There really isn’t an easy answer since so many things should be considered when choosing paint colors.

“However, green is the best bet since it’s such a versatile color. It falls right in the middle of the color spectrum, and can easily lean towards blue or yellow variations. We’re used to seeing all types of green mixed up outside, so it seems to go with everything.

Best Colors For Relaxation

Tips For Painting Trim

White Trim paintTrim color, especially for interiors, often defaults to a generic “white”. Color consultant Diane Stewart with Color Sense Consulting explains very clearly why there’s more to it than meets the eye.

It should highlight and accent the main attraction in the middle, but it’s not meant to draw attention to itself. Unfortunately, that’s just what bright white trim does. I’m not sure why this became popular, but I try to steer my clients away from it as much as possible.

Best Bedroom Colors

Bedroom paint colors kansas city painter crestwood paintingBedrooms can be either a relaxing refuge or a nondescript place to hang your clothes – I choose relaxing refuge. Here’s my favorite color consultant Diane Stewart at Color Sense Consulting:

Your bedroom is a private place to relax, refresh, reflect, and dream. It’s your refuge from the world. Creating a comfort zone before decorating public areas should be a priority, but often the reverse is true.

Choose the Right Paint Sheen

Paint sheen crestwood interior
Sheen describes the amount of light reflected.

Everybody knows about color; not many know about sheen. But it is just as  important when choosing paints. So here we go!

Sheen is another way to say “light reflectance”. Kitchen cabinets are usually higher-gloss surfaces and so reflect more light that most ceilings (flat sheen).

One is not better than the other – but there are trade-offs and considerations in choosing which sheen is best for a particular application.
