Color Tips

1. Color can have a significant effect on a room. Lighter colors can brighten up an area or enhance a small space, while dark colors can add a cozy, rich, luxurious feel and create a stunning and dramatic look in a room.

2. Many of the latest color trends contain neutral palettes that work well as subtle backdrops in situations where home furnishings are the main focus.

3. Understated colors like cocoa brown, cinnamon, biscuit, or wheat can create a soothing, inviting environment in the home and add to the perception of a warm, comfortable environment.

4. In contrast to these understated hues, stronger, more vibrant colors can stand alone as the focal point of a room. Current trends indicate that colors associated with nature such as greens, more specifically the lighter shades of green, blues, and yellows can add an open, airy, outdoor feeling to the home.

5. Similarly, deep, dramatic shades of red and plum work well to accent larger areas of less intense color, or as backgrounds to create a look of sophistication and elegance.

6. These brilliant colors can be combined with more subdued neutrals to create intensity and contrast in your decorating scheme.
