As a designer, I often receive questions such as, 'What color should I paint my house?' and the classic, 'Hey, what's your alltime favorite shade of white paint?' Now, folks, my response is pretty consistent: it all depends!

Choosing a paint color is akin to curating your outfit. I mean, how on earth can I provide solid advice if I don't know whether you're rocking Nikes or stilettos? I'm in the dark about what's happening from the ankles up, and let's be real, I'm clueless about the occasion too!

It's a mystery until you consider more details. The same principle applies whether you're painting a room, an accent wall, or the entire exterior of a house.

In this video, we walk you through all the steps needed to successfully select and execute new paint colors. Watch as we play with color stories in realtime to show you how big of a difference paint can make with everything from fabric to flooring.

Hint, hint, we may be pushing you out of your comfort zone a bit, because design takes guts, folks! But the payoff is worth it.
