How to Pair the Right Paint with the Right Finish
| Featured Image: @ichabodcolonial_KS1277PXBS | Nothing beats a new paint job when it comes to freshening the look and feel of the home. For bathrooms and kitchens, adding a new coat of paint can go a long way in renovating the space. |
However, when homeowners look to implement new paint in a bathroom or kitchen, it is important to ensure that the new paint will complement or work well with the existing finishes in the space.
The following guide will help walk through the ins and outs of pairing the right paint with the right finish.
Understand the Finish Tone
The first place to begin when choosing a new paint color for the bathroom or kitchen is with an assessment of the existing finishes.
Homeowners should take a look at all kitchen faucets, bathroom faucets, and accessories, such as towel racks and soap dispensers.
From here, determine whether the existing finishes are cool, warm, or neutral in tone.
- Warm finishes include brass, copper, nickel
- Cool finishes include stainless steel and chrome
- Neutral finishes include black and matte black
When choosing a paint color, homeowners should ensure that the tones are matching or will add an intended contrast.
Decide on the Room’s Style
In addition to matching the paint to the finish tones, it is also important for homeowners to consider the room’s overall style.
Sticking to one design or style motif can help ensure that the paint chosen will meld well with decor and fixtures. For example, if the kitchen features a rustic farmhouse style, it will be important to pick out an eggshell white or other neutral paint.
Deciding on the room’s style can help guide all upgrade choices.
Consider a Dual Upgrade
For many homeowners, matching the paint to the existing finish isn’t ideal. Instead, it is better to consider a dual upgrade to achieve the overall design desired.
In this case, it is worth picking out all new faucets and accessories to match the new style. This allows the ultimate freedom in upgrading the room.
