Choosing the Right Paint Color in Lafayette, LA

There Are a Few Things to Consider Before Choosing a Paint Color for Your Home

Paint can completely transform a home or business—but choosing the right color is about much more than finding a shade you like on a paint chip

Over the past 25 years, Amazing Spaces has helped hundreds of homeowners and businesses throughout Lafayette and Acadiana select paint colors that work with their architecture, lighting, furnishings, finishes, and overall vision.

Sometimes the right color is subtle. Other times, it completely changes the personality of a property.

A Paint Color That Looks Great in the Store May Look Completely Different at Home

One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is choosing paint color from a small sample or looking at a color online and assuming it will look the same on their walls. It won't.

Lighting, surrounding colors, flooring, countertops, cabinetry, landscaping, and even the direction a room faces can change how a color looks.

That's why our paint color consultations begin with the space itself.

We look at the existing finishes and consider how the color will work throughout the home—not just on one wall.

We consider:

• Natural and artificial lighting
• Existing flooring and countertops
• Cabinets and wood tones
• Furniture and furnishings
• Trim and ceiling colors
• Architectural details
• Exterior materials
• Landscaping and surroundings
• How colors flow from one room to another

The goal isn't simply to choose a beautiful color.

It's to choose the right color for your space.

From Outdated to Updated: The Power of Paint

One of our favorite transformations is a home where the existing finishes are still beautiful, but the overall color palette makes the space feel dated.

A thoughtful paint selection can change that dramatically.

For example, a kitchen with warm wood cabinetry doesn't necessarily need to be completely remodeled. Sometimes, the right wall color—and the right supporting colors throughout the room—can make the entire space feel fresher and more current.

Good color selection can give you a completely different feeling without completely changing everything you own.

Exterior Color Requires a Different Kind of Thinking

Choosing an exterior color is an even bigger decision.



You're not choosing a color for a six-inch paint sample. You're choosing a color that may cover thousands of square feet—and you'll see it every time you pull into your driveway.

We've helped homeowners select colors for:

• Traditional and historic-style homes
• Brick homes
• Large two-story homes
• Coastal-inspired properties
• Modern homes
• Investment properties
• Commercial buildings
• 
  

The exterior color needs to work with the roof, brick, stone, shutters, doors, trim, landscaping, and surrounding environment.

And sometimes the most successful transformation comes from doing something unexpected.

Color for Lafayette Homes and Businesses

Our work isn't limited to residential homes.



We've selected paint colors for businesses, offices, retail spaces, and commercial properties throughout Lafayette and the surrounding Acadiana area.

For a business, color can do more than make a space attractive.

It can help create the feeling you want customers, clients, employees, or guests to experience when they walk through the door.

A professional office may need to feel polished and welcoming. A retail environment may need a stronger visual identity. A healthcare or professional setting may benefit from colors that feel calm and organized.

Color is part of the experience.

You Don't Have to Guess

After 25 years of working with homes and businesses, we've learned that many people aren't actually struggling to choose a color.

They're struggling to choose between all the colors that could work.

That's where professional guidance can make the process easier.



Instead of bringing home 20 paint samples and putting them randomly on your walls, we help narrow the choices and create a cohesive palette that makes sense for your property.

Our goal is for you to feel confident when you hand the color selections to your painter.
