8 Ways to Make Your Remodel Last (8 photos)

2. Pick calming wall colors. Our tastes tend to change through the years. Even our color preferences can change. But if you choose colors that are calming for your home, you’re more likely to appreciate them longer. High-energy colors can be fun and exciting, but in my experience, people tire of them more quickly.

Bear in mind that when choosing paint colors, many look lighter on a swatch than they will on your walls. Try a patch of paint on your walls before committing. If it turns out to be too saturated, but you still like the basic color, try diluting it with 50 percent white.
