Plot Your House Color Palette to Evolve Interior DesignOften when you first buy a house or decide to remodel your home you need to evaluate the colors used throughout the house, which rooms you plan on painting, and what order to wish to paint. Using a floor plan with each room's wall color represented can help you get a feel for your current color scheme as well planning for future upgrades.

Home remodeling blog Young House Love recommends using a floor plan tool such as Floorplanner, but if you already have a copy of the floor plan it's probably just as easy to use an image editor like Photoshop or GIMP to add the colors in.

Painting the walls with a hip color can be a great way of making a new house or apartment your own inexpensively. If you want to coordinate the design in most of your rooms you may want to consider using the color palette technique.
