5 Great Colors for Your Home
A common difficulty homeowners have in the process of decorating their home is determining what colors will work best in an individual rooms dcor. if you visit any paint store, you can see that there are literally hundreds of different colors and shades to choose from when designing a color scheme. For some, so much choice can get quite overwhelming. It can be rather difficult to pick the colors that look good together in a room, as not everyone has an eye for color. If youre looking for color combinations to use in your dcor, here are five suggestions to consider.
1. Brown, Blue, and Cream
This is a great color scheme for practically any room in your home. Just be sure that when you use brown, blue, and cream, that you keep a balance of colorespecially when youre applying the dark brown. So, for instance, if you have a dark brown couch, you may want to lighten it up with cream or light blue pillows. Or if your couch is cream colored, you would choose brown and blue pillows to add interest instead. To add even more visual interest, look for patterns that contain all three colors.
2. Shades of Brown and Cream
Use shades of brown and cream to create a peaceful retreat in your bedroom or bathroom. You can use a wide variety of shades across the spectrum, from dark chocolate brown to and off white or light cream color. The monochromatic nature of this color combination can be made much more interesting by pairing a lighter shade with a darker shade, making the room appear livelier.
3. Blue and Orange
Blue and orange are complementary colors, as the colors lie across from each other on the color wheel. The key to using this particular color scheme is to keep the colors muted. You dont want to be using bright oranges and blues. By adding white or even brown to the mix, you can easily work these colors into a contemporary-styled room.
4. Black and White
You can use this classic color combination for practically any room you like. Black and white is an extremely versatile combination and can be used for a traditional dcor as well as a modern dcor, depending on what pieces you end up using. You can add even more style to this color scheme with an accent color such as red or green. Theres no shortage of black-and-white dcor items available these days, making this one of the easiest color schemes to work with.
5. Pink and Green
Another complementary color scheme you might try is pink and green, which tends to go well in bedrooms, living rooms, and sun rooms. You want to be sure to add a neutral color like white or cream into the mix. Otherwise, you might end up with too much color in the room. Be sure to keep the colors the same shade. For example, neon pink and mint green are not going to work well together.
If youre having a hard time coming up with color combinations for your home, then this is a good place to start. They should all help inspire you and get your creative juices flowing as you approach how to decorate your home. When you use any of these suggestions as a base and then add your own style to them, you can create a unique look for your home.
