How To Find The Right Color Combination For Your Home

September 25, 2020 by Coleen TeBockhorst

How To Find The Right Color Combination For Your HomeThere are lots of decisions that people have to make when it comes to the decorating scheme of their home. One of the key decisions that homeowners face involves the color scheme. Some people are afraid to talk about their color schemes for fear of making the wrong decision; however, the only way to make the right decision when it comes to the colors in the home is to discuss the situation. Have no fear because there are a few steps that all homeowners can take to make sure they nail their home’s color scheme.

Think About The Mood

The first step is to think about the mood of the home. Colors are used to reflect some sort of emotion and they are going to set the mood of the room. What type of mood should the space evoke? It might be helpful to think about the stories that could unfold in the room. For example, pinks and brighter colors are used to reflect both youth and vitality. Darker colors are used to create an earthy, warm vibe. Color should be a part of the design process from the first step.

Ease Into The Process

Next, it is a smart idea to ease into the process. Instead of trying to look at dozens of color tones at the same time, pick a few very different colors. Then, gradually narrow down the selection by looking at colors that are similar to the first one. By gradually moving to bolder colors, homeowners will have an easier time going through the process.

Consider The Saturation Of The Color

Finally, when looking at the possible variations, think about the brightness of the color as well, which is often referred to as the saturation. There are multiple hues in a single color and some hues might overwhelm the furniture or the carpets while others will work well in a synergistic manner. Think about the role the color is going to play in the room and how it might work well with different types of furniture.

Find The Right Color Scheme

These are a few of the most important points regarding home colors. With these tips, it is possible to enjoy the process of finding the right color scheme for the home.
