Pro Tips for Choosing Renovation Colors
•**Think about light**: Natural light makes colors look softer; low-light rooms benefit from warmer shades.
•**Test samples**: Always paint swatches on the wall before committing.
•**Balance bold with neutral**: If you go strong on walls, keep furniture and décor lighter (and vice versa).
•**Use the 60-30-10 rule**: 60% main color, 30% secondary color, 10% accent.
