Do you know an all white paint hold out, someone who will not budge when it comes to putting colorful paint on their walls? We are going to talk about color, and why you might want to use it in your home. We will examine the benefits of leaving white behind.
When you have only one color in a home that bucket of paint, one color, easy to find and easy to use is very… practical.
Start with one room, maybe just an accent wall. Apply color see what you think. This can be in a living room, bedroom, family room or dining room with a color to highlight the decor. After every one gets adjusted, try using other colors throughout the house and you may find the rest of the family start to get the color bug. You will find that you like the way color make the furniture and wall art look, and the way it warms up your house. Once you have introduced color into your home you will understand what the fuss is all about.
Typically color will give a much richer feeling to a room; it brings life into the environment. It can make your home feel like a more expensive home, because of color. Lack of color can give a very cold and sterile feeling while color can add life, warmth and energy.
Don't get me wrong there are definitely places for white walls. This is a wonderful look in many places. A hot new trend is black and white with a bright accent color. This goes out to those of you who are setting in stark white rooms to encourage you to take a chance, step out of your comfort zone and see what warmth color will bring to you and your home.
If you continue to struggle with color and are looking to break out, find an interior designer/decorator in your area or online. Many will be able to help with a color consultation. Michelle Branton, Designpreneur, Freestyle Design
