How to Choose Colors for Your Rooms?

It's been ages since my last post... busy busy busy!! Here am I :D We -in Oman- got an extended weekend; celebrating His Prophet Mohammed's birthday. So, let's do some blogging :D

Well, I am always getting this question; what color should I select to paint my room/space? huummm .. 

It's not a question that can be answered by a green, red, blue, pink, brown , .... whatever!

To select a color for a paint you have to go through a process ! Let's go through these 6 steps:
1. First, Get to know your preferred colors
2. Get to know your space; which room, size, openings, type of furniture
3. Find a scheme for your space, what style do you prefer?
4. Mood of the Room! Color & style set the mood of the room. What feelings do you want to add to your room?
5. Do color hunting ! Visit paints shops, take some samples of the colors that fits the style you finalized  !  If possible try them on your wall and select the one you feel the best for your room.
6.  Once you know what color to use, decide on the sheen and finish. Paints has different sheen ! Glossy, Matt, Eggshell, Semi-gloss, High-gloss, Satin.
