Basic rules whenchoosing coloursfor your home

Think BigWhen choosing the colours for the interior of your home

think how you want to look your entire house.

Consider lighting - according to its amount in the room, one colour may look lighter or darker.

Always get some colour samples at your home, don't trust thepatterns at the store. This way you can feel which one is the

right one for your home, for the specific room.

First choose the furniture, it will be easier to find suitablepaint colour to them than the opposite.

Start with the biggest room or with this one you want to paint indarkest shade, then think about the open spaces such as

hallways, stairs, entryway.

Get familiar with the colour wheelMonochromatic Analogous Complementary

Spend some time with the colour wheel and think aboutwhat you like and which colour makes you feel comfortable.It is in a big help with understanding how different coloursare corresponding and how they will look together. Thanks

to the wheel you can easily choose the saturation andintensity of the colour you want.

 Consider your styleIf you prefer modern and clean look of your house but don'twant to experiment with different colour combinations, stickto the monochromatic scheme. Play with different shades ofone colour - darker for the walls and light for the trim is the

most preferable choise.

Get vibrant vision with complementary scheme - combine twocolors on the opposite sides of the wheel and see how they

look together. It is not necessary to use the both for painting -choose one for the walls and the other for the furniture.

For relaxing and soothing look use analogous colours. Theylive in harmony together as they are made from each other.

A little bit more about coloursNeutral - such as white, cream, beige, grey - they definitelywill make your home look elegant and stylish, these are the

colours that you can't get wrong with.

Pastel - they can give you relaxing feeling and make the placemore welcoming and cozy. You will be surprized how many combinations you can try with them - starting with lemon

yellow and mint green to sky blue and delicate pink.

Bold - for dramatic, alive touch that shows the energy in theroom. But be careful with the intensely bright hues - do not

overdo or the room can become unresting and irritable place.The best you can do is to use them for an accent wall and

combine them with neutrals for the rest.

Follow the Golden Rule whenpainting your home - 60 % fordominant, 30 % ressesive and10% for accents and can't get

wrong with the colour scheme.
