WHAT: Clare
WHY: Sure, you can drag yourself to Home Depot. Or Lowe’s. Or Sherwin Williams. You can stare at book after book filled with 1,800 tiny sample colors until your eyes have crossed and your vision has blurred. You can leave feeling confused.
Or!
You can use Clare and sample their curated selection of paint colors in a way that will change your entire relationship with paint full stop end of sentence.
Clare’s paint samples brilliantly come in STICKER form, eliminating your need for paint brushes and/or an imagination. Seriously, how is it possible that no one thought of this until now? IT’S 2020. Just order these $2 sticker swatches from the comfort of your couch, slap them on your wall, emphatically exclaim, “that’s the one!” then easily PEEL the stickers off when you’ve made your choice, and order your chosen paint. Paint color selection process: done.
Not only does their paint come in truly beautiful hues (we are especially swooning over this soft, peachy pink), but it’s also self-priming, durable, washable, and free of harmful chemicals and toxins.
Plus, if you prefer to not let strangers traipse through your house for hours on end, they offer all the supplies you’ll need for a DIY job— they’ve even put together a handy kit.
