Instead of painting samples directly on the walls I buy several sheets of white poster board and paint a huge swatch on them to within an inch or two of the edge. Then I tack them up around the room. They can be moved around or removed without disrupting the decor in your room before you actually get around to finalizing the color and painting.

Watch out for sofas! Sometimes you measure the space and it fits perfectly, but you forget to measure a doorway or a sharp corner going down a hallway!

Be warned that if you paint a sample color on the wall or worse multiple swatches you will often see faint outlines of them. Especially if the wall is bathed in light and you view it from the side. So do not paint words especially. This is due to now there is a additional thickness of paint, often painted twice or three times. Painting over these areas will not make them disappear. Best to have a spare piece of sheet rock for this that has the same primer and paint on it that is already on your wall.

Iâve been really enjoying the energy and warmth in your recent style of presentation. Itâs cool to see you experiment with different formats and styles in presenting your expertise!

Probably the biggest issue with selecting neutral paint colors is neglecting undertone. Lighting would just make the hue lighter or darker, but light will not affect the undertone. Putting a paint with pink undertones wonât look good if other colors in your space, such as tile or wood, have a yellow undertone.

Been badly burnt by the first mistake. I picked an expensive "light beige" paint, gave it to the painter and left for the day not realizing the "ORANGE HORROR" that would be waiting for me tomorrow.

Agree with the DIY know your limits.........
Pulled out my old kitchen, drywalled and fitted new electrics, plumbing, units, oven, hob, flooring, tiles etc. Perfect....... but it took me five months!
When it came to our bathroom, i was less confident of getting a good drywall finish on wall and ceiling as well as doing large tiles 60 cm x 30 cm. Toilet and sink would be fine but a new walk in shower to replace our bath.....? Called in the experts and they did a fantastic job..

We just redid our own wood floors in our new house. It was definitely cheaper to do it ourselves, even with the equipment rentals, and a professional probably would have told us to just replace the floors (even more expensive). But, man, was it a time suck. Weâd thought it would only take us a month or so of working on it on weekends. Due to problems getting ahold of the equipment we needed, then the floors needing a lot more outright repair than initially thought, then us not being able to find replacement boards for the repairs and having to figure out a solution, it ended up being a 10 week project⌠including us having to use vacation time to finish it up. We werenât able to do any of our other planned pre-move in repairs because of how much time this took.

Samples from Samplize are great and I found it made a huge difference to my ability to choose paint.

Same thing with carpet. Before they cut the carpet off the roll ask the supplier to show you the carpet on the roll in the sun light. I wanted a dark grey/charcoal coloured carpet but when it was pulled into direct sunlight it displayed as a very dark green. If it had been layed then I saw the sunlight on it, I would have been horrified and it would have been a very expensive mistake that I would have had to live with for years.

I always find it really interesting that manufacturers make matching furniture but interior decorators say don't buy it! đ

In measuring, donât forget to measure and note the depth and height of the space as well as the width. Several years ago I ordered custom sized bookcases and computer hutch. I had measured the width and had the sizes adjusted to perfectly fit one wall of a bedroom for a built in look. What I didnât think about was the depth because the existing bookcases fit depth wise and the hutch was to be in the middle with a break front. Unfortunately the new bookcases were deeper than the old one and came in front of the closet door molding. Worse there was crown molding at the top and the units werenât tall enough for the crown to extend above the closet door. If I had placed them where intended I would not have been able to open the closet door. Theyâve been used in other rooms of my house but despite the ability to have them custom sized I was never able to use them where intended because of not carefully taking ALL measurements into account.

So true about dye lots. Years ago I crocheted an all hot pink Afghan for my mother-in-law and ended up with the last foot of it a slightly lighter pink. đĽ´

A friend of mine purchased a home once where the previous homeowner had pulled off all the crown molding and high solid wood baseboard in some of the rooms, to "modernize" it... Tragic.

Thank you so much for the work you doâŚI love your videos! I appreciate you mentioning that renovation is hard on Mother Earthâ¤

I always buy a small sample of the paint I want. Actually I usually buy multiple samples of multiple options. Then I get pieces of 24-in by 36-in oak tag and paint them, labeling each one. Then I can take my paint samples and try it out on different walls in the room since the light will hit differently at different angles. That's enabled me to never regret a paint choice.

I always like white wall colour & woody furniture. When last time i moved in new home, i spent very less money, no expensive furniture or decorations, and
i got a lot of compliments đ
|
I'm definitely feeling the "not planning ahead phase" i was in love with my gray flooring then later realized i should have done something more natural and lighter. Now im thinking how to distract from the flooring, like rugs, art etc.
