5 Simple steps to using an online paint visualizer

by Danique
9 January 2020
in Home interior design

1. Add your own paint colours

This is probably one of the biggest mistakes when using a paint visualizer. You do use a white colour on the wall, but it’s not exactly the colour that comes with it. This will give you a distorted image of the room when you add other colours.

Don’t you have any idea what colour of paint is on the wall? Then keep in mind that the end result in the room may differ from the virtual result.

2. First the visualizer then the paint

If you have an idea which colours you would like to use, a visit to the DIY store can be very helpful. Although it is tempting to buy a paint pot directly at the DIY store, we do not recommend it. Write down the colour code and test the colour in the online paint visualizer. Always bring a paint sample with you. This way you can see if the colour matches the furniture. Of course you want to prevent the sofa from suddenly looking very pale because of the paint.

3. Don’t limit your colour choices

Ideally, a colour scheme has three colours:

  • Een hoofdkleur die domineert
  • Een accentkleur voor luiken en deuren
  • Een sierkleur

The ability to see the colours before you start painting can save a lot of money, time and effort. Whether you plan to do the painting yourself or hire a professional. The virtual tools ensure that the job is done faster.

4. Use inspiration images

Open Pinterest en ga er eens goed voor zitten. Zoek naar de ruimte die je wilt gaan verven. Verzamel de mooiste beelden bij elkaar en vind een kleurenpalet. Zie je een kleur die je graag een-op-een zou willen kopiëren en plakken in jouw huis? Er bestaan online verschillende tools waar je uit een afbeelding de kleur kunt halen. 

In most online paint visualizers it is possible to enter a colour manually. Think of a HEX code, RGB or by searching for a specific paint colour. If the exact colour you want is not included, then (if it is correct) enough alternatives will be shown. Ideal!

5. Start all over again

If you start with a different main colour, the colour palette will probably look different. It may therefore be wise not to stick to one result.

Release the result and start with an empty canvas!
