Understanding North Facing Rooms, Part 4

Transcript:

For the last few days, we’ve been talking about how to pick paint for north-facing rooms—and today, let’s wrap it all up. I’m Dan Hansen, and this is a Minute at RepcoLite Paints, sponsored by Benjamin Moore.

If you take one thing away from this whole series, it should be this: always test your color in your own space.

You can read about undertones, look at photos online, and bring home piles and piles of color chips from RepcoLite. But nothing really compares to seeing how a color behaves in YOUR light, with YOUR furniture and flooring and at the times of the day you hang out in the space.

That’s why Benjamin Moore color samples are so helpful. For $5.99, you get enough paint to roll out a solid test patch on your wall or even on a poster board. Move it around, check it in the morning, the afternoon, and at night under your lamps. Live with it far a while to make sure you can live with it long term.

It’s one of the simplest—and smartest—steps you can take. And it can save you from a weekend of regret and repainting.

I’m Dan Hansen, and that’s a Minute at RepcoLite.
