Charlotte Comer Paint
Texas Paint is proud to announce the introduction of the CHARLOTTE COMER PAINT COLOR COLLECTION, created by interior designer Charlotte Comer, and sold exclusively at Texas Paint & Wallpaper Company.
Born a Southerner, Charlotte Comer has lived and traveled the world, settling in Texas in the late 70’s, then permanently in Dallas in 1991. She brings a rich background and a talented eye to each unique design project.
Charlotte has designed furniture, fabric, rugs and commercial spaces, but her first love is working with the individual client and making a house a home. Often husbands call to say they are so glad that their wife is happy with the result, but even they like to come home because it feels so comfortable.
As a Texas registered interior designer, Charlotte has been in practice for more than 35 years and received her design degree from Texas Christian University. She has been published more than 80 times and has won multiple awards for residential projects.
Charlotte Comer’s peers have consistently voted her one of “D Magazine’s Best Designers in Dallas” since 2003, and now has been selected once again in 2011.

10 Myths About Decorating Your Home by Charlotte Comer
Myth 1: Always paint your ceiling white.
Paint your ceiling the same color as your walls to complete your look. We often paint the trim to match the ceiling, as well.
Myth #2: Never use more than a 3” ceiling molding.
No matter how tall the ceilings we never use anything smaller than a 4 1/4″ molding, and a 6″ for baseboards.Myth #3: Never paint a small room a dark color.
It’s simply not true that a dark color will make a room look smaller. Paint the room the color you like and forget about the “rules.”Myth #4: Paint an accent wall.
Accent walls divide spaces. Paint your walls all the same color unless you are going for an extremely contemporary look.Myth #5: Use a standard 6’8” door even if ceilings are tall.
Use a 6’8″ door for 9′ ceilings and lower and an 8′ door (96″) for ceilings over 9′ tall.Myth #6: Small rooms need small furniture.
We like to use fewer large pieces in a small room, rather than lots of small pieces.Myth #7: Pictures should be hung high.
When hanging pictures on the wall the middle of the picture should fall 60″-66″ from the floor. When hanging a series, space 2″-3″ between each picture. Remember to always use 2 hooks on the back of a picture to prevent it from tilting.
Myth #8: Use a contrasting grout color for your tile.
Match the grout to the tile as close as you can. The grout should blend with the tile, not stand out from the tile. We use a marble size or an 1/8″ grout size.Myth #9: Let your painter choose your paint color.
The painter is the painter, not the designer. If you are not using a designer, trust your instincts. Purchase a pint sample of several different colors you are considering and paint them on a 2′x2′ piece of foam board. Prop the samples up in the room you are wanting to paint to see which one looks the best. No need to paint samples on the walls when you can do it on foam board. This will allow you to move the samples around the room.Myth #10: Always use flat on the walls and gloss on the trim.
We like to use an eggshell finish on the walls and satin finish on the trim. The eggshell sheen is easier to clean and holds up better in high traffic areas than the flat. Our favorite product is Regal eggshell for the walls and Satin Impervo for the trim, but if you are looking for a green option, go with Regal Select eggshell for the walls and Advance Satin for the trim and doors.
