Color. What is to be afraid of?

So many people are afraid of color in their homes.  Yet, they dress with color in their wardrobe everyday.

There is nothing to be afraid of.  You can always change it if you don't like it or if it doesn't work with something new you add. Such replacing an old chair of sofa.

What color makes you happiest? Incorporating that color into your spaces can create a look you really love. Learn to use  a few tips on color choice with these helpful ideas.

Look in your closet.  What colors are you currently wearing?  That is a BIG clue.

If you lean more towards neutrals, then pull in color with accessories.  That is the easiest and quickest affordable way to add color.

Using beige and browns then punch it up with red,orange and gold in small areas like wall hangings or paintings. Pillows on the sofa and colorful object placed around the room with do the trick.

Choosing a color scheme by selecting colors from the color wheel is very helpful.  For example:  orange and blue are opposites.  Used together in a vibrate hue is beautiful.  Think Mexican pottery for an example.

Greens are very restful as is blue.  The  colors of the sky and green grass.  Natures colors. Almost every shade is tied to nature and gives off a decidedly fresh vibe. Items that bring in the colors of the outdoors can be, potted plants and ceramic garden stools. A single shade of green repeated throughout the space can create a sense of unity.

Still uncertain?  Call a decorator or ME to find out how to use what you have and make simple changes to add some freshness to your home.
