Choosing the perfect colours for your home

When you are faced with an overwhelming number of colours to choose from, how do you narrow down your options and select the most spectacular combinations for your home? Here are a few simple ideas to make your colour selection process more enjoyable and successful.

A great way to jump-start your colour search is to make a list of things, feelings, even memories from your home that you want to inspire your new look. The list might include a favorite painting, the colour of your baby’s eyes or a scene from an unforgettable vacation. As your list grows, look for the common denominators in terms of colour.

Now start to think about your personal colour preferences. Do you like to decorate with a variety of different colours or similar shades of one specific colour? Do you gravitate to bold tones or a more muted palette? Do you like accent colours, stencils or other features that introduce pops of colour without overpowering a whole room? Look at the current colours in your home to get a sense of your colour tendencies. Once you determine your inspirational colours and better understand your preferences, you can start selecting new colours with a clear sense of direction.

Your furnishings, accessories and carpets offer another starting point for your colour search. You’ll be surprised how you can discover stunning new colour energy for your home by looking past the dominant colours in your upholstery, artwork and carpets and exploring the more subtle accent colours within each.

Choosing the perfect colours for your home is a very personal process with no right or wrong answers. You will know you are on the right track when your natural sense of apprehension starts turning into confidence that your new colour combinations will look dynamite
