When you are updating your home or creating a design for a client, paint colors throughout a space play a critical role in the overall aesthetic of the home and overall design.

I was beginning to become frustrated with the money, time and material wasted during paint sampling when selecting colors for my own home. Though nearly all manufacturers provide swatches at the stores, these aren’t produced with real paint, are incredibly small, and aren’t truly accurate to the final color or texture.

The alternative—painting samples on a wall—is a mess-filled, time-consuming process.

Last week, I had the opportunity to help a client decide on paint colors for her entire home, so I decided to do some research looking for a better solution to my wall-painting problem.

Then…my life changed.

Samplize manufactures Peel & Stick paint samples. These samples create the same effect as paint on a wall because they are produced with genuine manufacturers’ paint, providing an unparalleled level of accuracy and texture. They also reduce environmental waste created by surplus sample paint, which is rarely disposed of properly.

Unlike traditional paint swatches which are merely dyed to mimic color, Samplize paint samples are hand painted with the specific paint color from each company. Two coats are applied with rollers for color accuracy. Not only that, the samples are HUGE! The are a whopping 9”x14.75” in size and offer a realistic idea of what a specific paint color would look like on a wall in your home. This is because the texture of your wall also comes through the sample. It’s pretty amazing!

Additionally, they partner will the industry’s leading paint manufacturers so you have tons of options to select from many popular colors out there.

If you’re thinking it couldn’t get much better, sit tight, because it does. The shipping for these samples is an overnight delivery option for a whopping $6.95. What a steal! Plus, they offer Buy any 10, Pay for only 8. Pinch me!

Check out a few of my favorite samples that I regularly purchase from Samplize. If you’re interested in trying them for yourself, click here.
