I just rip off a square (or longer sheet if I want to test out a larger sample size) and stick it to the wall with a few pieces of tape to ensure it stays on the wall. I prefer to use Glad’s Press ‘n Seal, because it’s cheap and paint adheres well to the material. Whether it already has an adhesive backing or you need to apply a little painter’s tape to make it stick, painting on a clear sheet on top of your current paint color will save you time, money and labor from having to cover up any of the paint colors you don’t like AND you can move the sample around to test it against other colors in the room like on door trim, furniture, etc. Use a transparent sheet stuck to your wall to test your paint colors.PAINT SWATCH TIPS:īefore diving into the paint colors, I want to give you some tips for sampling paint colors in your own home: While there were well over 10+ different brands submitted (like Farrow & Ball, Clare Paint, Valspar, etc.), I decided to stick with three most popular brands, Behr, Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams because, well, the Cheesecake Factory Effect, of course, but also because these brands are easily found nationwide and they provide quality coverage at an affordable price. That’s kind of how I felt when it came to picking out the perfect white paint, but I polled my Instagram audience, consulted with a few home builder friends and put together this condensed list of the most popular tried & true paint colors from three major paint brands. You either take forever to decide and still wonder if it was the right choice OR you stick with what’s already super familiar to you because you don’t want to be let down. The Cheesecake Factory Effect, ever heard of it? It’s when you look at their menu and you’re overwhelmed with number of options thus you become paralyzed with indecision.
