HOW TO CHOOSE A COLOR SCHEME

1. Firstly think about Function, size, location and people.

Function: What is the room used for? Try soft colors for quiet areas and warm colors for more often used rooms.

Size: Do you want to make the room appear larger or smaller? Cool colors make the room appear smaller as warmer colors make the room appear larger.

Location: What side of the house is the room on? A warm room or colder? Warm colors work best for Eastern and northern sides and Southern and Western work with cooler colors best.

People: Ask the person who mostly uses the room what their color preferences are. 2. Create your signature print that will determine the color scheme of the room.

2. Choose a color form your signature print that you think will work best as the dominant color. Use in 2/3 of the area.

3. Choose several other colors form the original print and use these in accessories and smaller areas.

4. Bring your colors into the rest of the home to create an overall tied in look and continues a strong visual image. Allow for change in each room with the color and patterns. This allows the home to look interesting.
