Color is the fastest and cheapest way to update a room. Whether it’s color on the walls or color in your home décor pieces. People tend to shy away from using color. Known as “builders beige” the traditional neutral beige is found today in so many sad homes. Why are people afraid to venture outside the neutral color group? Most people do enjoy color but most lack the confidence to choose a color in their rooms. If painting your walls a vivid color is too scary, start small with some colourful cool home décor accessories instead.
A simple plan for choosing colors you’ll love living in is to consult interior decorating books and magazines. Flip through the photographs and wait to see what photos “grab” you. Go by what your instinct’s find appealing here, not what you think are cool new trends. Another tip to choosing colors for your home decorating is to look outside. Mother Nature has an eye for beautiful color combinations. Look at any garden and notice how different plant and flower colors compliment each other. I especially love the look of evergreen with white. It’s a fresh color combo that would look great in kitchens.
Another tip is to look in your closet. What colors are you natural drawn to? Make note of colors you seem to wear more often. Then consider whether it would be suitable for whatever room you want to liven up. Note some colors won’t be ideal for certain rooms. Can you picture fuscia in your kitchen? Probably not, but it might work in a Victorian style bedroom.
In the end, there really are no rules with picking color themes for cool home décor.
Go with whatever color you want, not what some design “expert” says is cool. And if in doubt, friends are great for sometimes brutal honesty. Let them give you their opinion on your choice of home décor colors.
