Standing in the paint shop looking at that giant wall of paint chips can seem overwhelming when trying to choose the right paint color. There are so many different colors and finishes to choose from that you might be tempted to not paint at all. Learning how to choose the right paint can make that dreaded trip to the paint store a little less confusing.

You first need to decide on the color. Never buy paint based on how it looks in the store because it will always look different at home. Grab as many paint samples you can find in the color you’re interested in. Choose shades that are both darker and lighter than what you think you might want because you’ll be surprised how different they’ll look when you get home. If you have an inspiration piece, coordinating fabrics, or wallpaper that you’re trying to match, bring those with you as well to compare to the paint chips.

Though today most people think that “curtains” refers to any window covering hung to block light and provide privacy that really isn’t the case. Technically speaking, curtains made of material sufficiently translucent to filter light that comes through windows are called sash curtains. While they may be opened or pushed to the window sides, sash curtains are often kept closed all the time. Draw curtains (correctly called draperies but never “drapes”, which is a trade term) are made of material heavy or thick enough to block the light altogether.
