After narrowing down the paint colors you are most interested in, the next step before buying the paint is ordering draw downs. Draw downs are samples of actual paint applied to cardboard. These cardboard samples let you easily view color in the space that will be updated. They are more accurate than trying to choose colors from a small paint store color chip. Pictured here are 8 1/2″ X 11″ Benjamin Moore color renderings next to white wood trim.
Painting color samples on cardboard is the industry standard way to see your future house color before you paint. Here’s how it’s done, instead of painting color squares on all over your wall, have the paint store make a rendering on cardboard, like the ones shown here.
Have them put a sticker with the color name, number and sheen on the cardboard. Don’t just get one, experiment with various colors and color schemes. This lets you see mock-ups of your house color before paying for paint and painters. Good color choices enhance the appeal of a space, and help you maximize your home maintenance dollars. Whether you’re looking to sell or want an aesthetic to make family, friends and neighbors envious, draw downs are the way to go.
