My
uncle who was a contractor used to often tell me
Getting
the home painted is like getting married.Once you have made a choice
you have to live with it (for quite some time). So its better if one
can figure out what the painted walls and homes would look like
without having to spend a penny on buying paint. This just got
possible thanks to the #PaintFinder
feature from
the Bed Bath & More website Here one can
just pick a shade of paint and see in real time what a room painted
with the color would look like Take for instance getting the bedroom
painted lilac or pink is not like picking up a paint and keep your
fingers crossed and hope it turns out just as the color that you
wanted .Its not just about colors one can pick from pre created
themes or create your own theme
for
example I have been always very fascinated by the color “Lavender”
however I had no idea if it could go with the theme of my home
and if my family members would approve of it so I tried the themes
section from
the Bed Bath & More website Luckily it had
a lavender theme that I could try before I bought the real paint. I
could save this theme,share it and get some opinion from family and
friends and even create my own theme.
When
I tried it the process involved clicking of a color to select it.
This is the color that I wanted to try
it
selects the color
and
then choose a room to apply the color which in my case happens to be the living room.
Or
try a variation of color till I find that perfect color to set the
right mood in my bedroom or living room. Luckily for me my family
members approved of my choice of the color combination and theme
selection. If not then we would have went back to the #PaintFinder
from the
Bed Bath & More website. As we debated a
lot about our living room and then finally arrived at a look for our
living room. Had I told my family that I want to get the living room
painted in the color “Grape Popsicle ” they would have freaked
out and rejected the idea however when I used the #PaintFinder
from the
Bed Bath & More and applied it to the theme
of a living room I got the following result
Needless
to say that there was unanimous consensus in picking up this color.
In both my above color selection I have gone by visual appeal. I pick
a color that looks good. Earlier I was limited to pick safe colors
for my house as I did not know how the more vibrant colors would look
like in my home.With the #PaintFinder
,the process of color selection has become not just
easier but also more options are available to us as one can find
various colors from different brands all under one roof or better still under one website to be tried
and applied on the walls of our home in a virtual setting. This way we get a realistic view of what the final effect is going to be
like.

After
all life is all about experimenting and finding the right mix and
balance. So when it comes to choosing the right shades and colors for
my home why should it be any different? The process of picking a
color from a shade card and buying a color only to find that it is
not the right color or shade when you have invested both time and
money adds insult to injury specially when it stares back at you
every time you walk past the wall and it did not turn out to be the
way you intended gives you the feeling of having a sore thumb
sticking out that is going to stay that way for quite some time. With
the #PaintFinder
from the
Bed Bath & More its all about picking the
right color and paint and see it unfold its magic in our homes.
