How to Test Paint Your Walls in Photoshop

Picking paint is so hard! There’s so much pressure to get it right, especially for a big room. Our new livingroom is green, and not a good green, either. And it’s going to be the place we spend the majority of our time hanging out and entertaining friends + family. So, it’s big decision on what color it’s going to change to – I’ve lived in apartments so long this new freedom to paint the walls comes with a little second-guessing. Paint is pricey, you guys..I had no idea. In an effort to test paint out without buying a zillion little sample jars (those are ~$3 a pop), I took things into my own hands/fingertips with a little test painting in photoshop. Nothing fancy, just show-me-how-it’s-going-to-feel quick mockups. I thought it might help someone out there too, so I made a little tutorial on test painting your walls in photoshop this week, click on to see how!
