Color Ideas To Get You Going!

Choosing coordinating colors for a room is a lot easier than you think.  A great way to start is to find what color family you like the most (reds, greens, blues, etc.). 

Once you pick your color family, choosing that final color is much easier. 




Follow these easy steps to start:

- Collect pictures of rooms and accessories that you like from magazines and catalogs.

- Next, gather up your favorite things in a room.  Vase.  Pillows.  Floral arrangements.  Comforter.

- Then step back.  Take it all in.  Do you see a common color family or scheme?

Another trick is to steal from the largest pattern in the space.  Upholstery.  Rug.  Even your favorite painting.  Use its background color for your wall color.  Then choose one or two of the other colors for your accents. 

You've now successfully coordinated color! 

Piece of cake.
