Interior Paint Color Design Scheme: If you go to the store and start just looking for a color that you like you be completely overwhelmed. There are thousands of colors as well as shades that you can choose from. The choices may seem like you can’t wrap your mind around where to even begin. The best way to get a color that you want is to have an idea before you head out to look. You can take some inspiration from the colors around you or the ones that you plan to put in the house. This might be a color in your couch, pillow, bedspread, art or counters. If you know that the best way to balance out the room is to paint the walls with a soft grey that is in the counter then you have a place to start. Now you can hone in on a shade that might be best for you.
Tacky & Sticky Paint: Another problem that homeowners seems to come across when they want to paint their house is when the paint starts to dry. You may start to notice that the paint is not drying the way that you thought it was. Maybe it is too light, too dark or not even. The problem is that you may not have prepared the walls properly before you began. The walls should be cleaned, patched and primed. This will be the best way to get the end result that you were hoping for. The other thing that could be going wrong is in the way that you are actually applying the paint. If you don’t know what you are doing you may be layering the color incorrectly leaving an uneven finish.

They each have their own benefits and you want to make sure you know what they are before you make your decision. The benefits include cleaning and the look of the space when complete.
