colors and accessories in our home.
We all want that sense of con1nuity of color and design
from room to room.
Finding Your Color Inspiration
Every room in every home inside and out must have someone making color decisions that impact the look of the final seTng. The choice of floor material, paint for walls and ceiling, fabrics, and furnishings will involve someone making several color choices.
This task can seem daun1ng to many, horrifying to others and some1mes there is someone who does it with ease.
They look for guidance in shelter magazines, television shows, hundreds of books, newspapers and even advice from their friends and family and in many cases they s1ll are at a loss as of what to do. Here are several avenues to follow to find that elusive road over the rainbow and into their homes.

Finding Color Inspiration
Is there an exis1ng, unchangeable or desired color in a room or on the outside of your home that can be used as a star1ng place.
Find a pa`ern or combina1on of colors in a piece of fabric, on a pillow or in the case of an exterior, a single stone or brick that contains that color.
This pa`ern or combina1on of colors should appeal to you; search un1l you find something that really draws your interest.
Use the other colors in the pa`ern for the rest of your color choices. Perhaps there is a neutral hidden in the pa`ern that can become the wall color, an accent color may exist in the group and that can be used in small amounts, maybe on a feature wall or on a front door.

Out of our discussions we’ll establish a paint strategy that will 1e everything together by

Finding Your Color Inspiration
When star1ng from the ground up you can also accomplished this with a pa`ern or in some cases a favorite pain1ng or even a pleasant place to visit
Finding Your Color Inspiration
Using a pain1ng as inspira1on, in this case the pale off white could be the walls, the deep blue a carpet or piece of furniture, the lemon could be curtains. You don’t have to take the colors as they appear you can neutralize them by making them lighter or grayer and you can make them lighter to tone them down. The colors should be used in three propor1ons of visual interest, the largest for walls, the medium for carpet and the smallest for accents.
