You may be wondering if you are up for picking colors for your home, or want to know how you go about it. Actually , it's not necessary to hire and pay for a color consultant. There are tools available just by using the Miller Paint website to start. If you click on the Colors tab, and go to the Inspiration page, you can get some ideas. https://www.millerpaint.com/color-inspiration . One of the great tools on the website is the Color Visualizer. Here, you can upload photos of your rooms, and test out colors and see how they actually look in your own rooms! https://www.millerpaint.com/room-visualizer/. This is the starting point for you. The next step, though, is to go to the paint store to get samples. Test out the colors in small areas and see how it fits in the room with your furnishings. It's really a simple process that you can handle on your own without paying the cost of a color consultant.
