Finding Your Perfect Paint Color
Choosing the right paint color is one of the most important decisions you'll make when refreshing your Vancouver home. The color you select will set the tone for your entire space and can dramatically impact how your home looks and feels. At Cambie Painters, we work with homeowners every day to find colors that perfectly match their vision and complement their home's architecture.
"The right color can transform a space from ordinary to extraordinary. We love helping our Vancouver clients discover colors that make them fall in love with their homes all over again." - Cambie Painters Team
Consider Your Home's Natural Lighting
Vancouver's weather means your home experiences varying light conditions throughout the year. The gray, overcast days of winter and the bright, sunny days of summer will affect how colors appear in your space. When selecting a paint color:
- Test paint samples on your walls and observe them at different times of day
- Consider how natural light enters your rooms
- Think about how artificial lighting will interact with your chosen color
- Remember that colors appear different on large surfaces than on small paint chips
Interior vs. Exterior Color Selection
Interior Painting Considerations:
- Lighter colors make small rooms feel larger and more open
- Darker colors create cozy, intimate spaces
- Consider the mood you want to create in each room
- Think about how colors flow from one room to another
Exterior Painting Considerations:
- Your home's exterior color should complement your neighborhood's character
- Consider the color of your roof, landscaping, and surrounding homes
- Lighter colors reflect heat and can help keep your home cooler
- Darker colors may show dirt and weathering more easily in Vancouver's rainy climate
