Raise your hand if you’ve ever fallen prey to a gorgeous paint color swatch...that looked like total crap once it was up on your wall. (Affirmative.)
Well, fear not, friends: Joanna Gaines has a fix for this painting mistake. In partnership with KILZ, the HGTV superstar recently shared her best paint practices. The biggest “mistake”? Failing to “consider where your light is coming from,” she tells us. In other words, you can’t assume that a color will look great across a room; instead, you have to consider how your natural light source will affect each portion of wall. (I.e., While a hue might look great across from a window, it could read completely differently on a wall that doesn’t get natural light.)
