PSA: My sister said my house looked 'sterile' and it clicked
She was over last weekend and pointed out that all my walls were just plain white. She said, 'It feels like a doctor's office waiting room.' I realized I was scared to add color because I thought it would be expensive. The next day, I mixed some leftover paint from the garage with a $5 sample pot to make a new color and painted one wall in my living room. It completely changed the feel of the room for almost no money. Has anyone else tried mixing paints to make a custom color on a tight budget?

Mixing paint is such a good hack. My buddy once used leftover beige from his living room and mixed in some black craft paint to make a dark gray for an accent wall. It looked way more expensive than it was. He just kept adding drops and stirring until it looked right. The whole project cost him maybe ten bucks for the tester pot.

Is mixing paint really that serious when a $4 can of spray paint would do the same thing?
