How to Choose Wall Colors for Tiger Oak Floor
- 1). Decide what sort of feel you want. Maybe den-like and secluded is your style, or perhaps you want something upbeat and lighter.
- 2). Get some color samples to work with. Magazines are a good source. The paint store will also have a rainbow of choices you can take home.
- 3). Narrow your selection in the direction of your choice or feel. If you want warmer or darker colors, mocha or tawny rose are possible directions. An antique buff is a lighter version that will accompany a warm tiger oak. Salmon, melon, marmalade and rhubarb are more saturated and upbeat. Historic colors add restrained color; warm ivory, hawthorne yellow or russet enrich a room but are also classic.
- 4). Paint a test swatch. This can be a big help. You may love the color in small doses, but not on the wall. Many paint lines carry or will mix tiny jars of custom colors. Take advantage of this.
- 5). Verify your final selection once it is dry. Leave it up a day or two, so you can assess it with varied light.
