Choosing Color with Confidence
Nov 17, 2021
Choosing the right color for your exterior or interior spaces can be challenging. But you don’t have to go it alone.
We’ve been guiding clients for decades on testing, evaluating, and choosing with confidence the colors that adorn the walls and facades of their homes and businesses. And we love what we do!
Sometimes, just not having to go it alone is everything. Whatever “it” may be. When choosing paint colors, partnering with a team who loves what they do and are as enthusiastic about your project as you are, creates a fun and spirited experience. That’s what you’ll find with Luxbrush.
And have you ever wanted to slap paint on a wall with wild abandon? No rules? No lines? (Maybe not, but most of us here at LBP have – it’s why we do what we do. And why we’ve spent decades honing our craft.) And moments of wild abandon are an integral part of the color selection process! So fun, but still, big choices. And those choices can be overwhelming.
To reduce the uncertainty, we offer a bit of guidance from our experts for confidently choosing colors for your living spaces:
- Consider the vibe – what feeling do you want the space to invoke? This feeling can help focus your exploration.
- Consider the colors that will surround your choices. This palette can influence your options by guiding you to colors that either complement or accent these hues.
- Consider the lighting – and sit with a sample throughout the cycle of a day. In situ. Choosing a paint color at the store will reveal what that color looks like at the store, but it can tell another tale in your own space.
- Consult an expert (or a team of them) who will partner with you in the process. There are other considerations like sheen, durability and more. Even environmental impact. But don’t worry about those things. Luxbrush Painting is here to guide you on the way.
We look forward to painting with you.
Did you know that in the state of Vermont you don’t need a contractor’s license to call yourself a professional painting contractor? There’s no state-wide governing body that oversees painters, making sure that every so-called “pro” delivers quality results. If someone wants to become a painter he or she doesn’t need to go to painter’s school. They don’t need a certain number of apprenticeship hours. All they need is a brush, a ladder, and maybe a business card. There are all kinds of painters in Vermont. Maybe they’re college kids trying to make a quick buck on vacation. Maybe they’re a one-man band with an old pick-up and some elbow grease. Maybe they’re a larger outfit with a fleet of trucks. Each of these types of contractors has their place, but if anyone can call themselves pros, what does this word even mean these days? If you need a little more help than just the gutters, we have handyman services at your disposal. Let us help you prepare for the snow. Whether it’s packing up the garden tools, hauling out the sheds and garages, or handling basic weatherization tasks, we have the knowledge and elbow grease you need to get the job done efficiently. And when the snow finally starts accumulating, we would be more than happy to bring over our ladders and assist with cleaning dangerous snow from your roofs (and walkways and anywhere else that needs shoveling). As a painting company, our teams are not only comfy on ladders, but they are meticulous when it comes to making your home beautiful.
In recent years, I have become a bit of a foodie. I’ve nibbled delicious meals from all over the country and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that plating matters. A recent trip to Nebraska confirmed for me that a little garnish and some drizzled sauce can highlight the visual aspect of a meal and greatly elevate the entire dining experience. But what has this to do with painting? What gourmet chefs and savvy homeowners have in common is the understanding that when appearance matters, a little thoughtful arrangement can have dramatic effects. If we can compare curb appeal to gourmet food plating, we might say that an eye-catching front door color is like a bold sweep of sauce or a striking rosemary garnish. A breathtaking front door can be the very highlight of curb appeal.
