In our bi weekly tips we’ll look at how to Revitalize your home through color, a fantastic way to breathe new life into your living space.

We’d want to start out by choosing a color scheme: Choosing a color scheme for your home can be overwhelming, but here are some tips that will help you narrow down your selection and find a palette that works for you:

 Start by looking for inspiration in home decor magazines, online galleries, websites, and social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram to gather ideas and inspiration for color schemes, pay attention to how different colors are used together and which combinations appeal to you.

Think about your personal preferences when it comes to colors, do you tend to lean towards bright and bold shades, or do you prefer more muted tones? Look at your wardrobe, find a piece of artwork, fabrics, or furniture that you love and use it as a starting point for your color scheme. Pull out a few colors from and use them as the basis for your palette, items in your home may give a sense of what colors you gravitate towards.

Use the color wheel: Familiarize yourself with the color wheel and the different color relationships it represents and complement, analogous, and monochromatic. These relationships can help you choose colors that work well together and create a cohesive look.

Determine your color personality: Decide on the mood you want to create in your home. Colors can evoke different emotions and set the tone for a room. For example, cool colors like blues and greens create a calming effect, while warm colors like yellows and reds can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Decide on your focal point: Determine which area of your home you want to focus on. This can be a wall, a piece of furniture, or an accent piece. Choose a bold color to make it stand out, or use a complementary color to highlight its features.

Use paint to create depth and dimension: Paint can create an illusion of depth and dimension in a room. Use a darker shade of paint to create depth, or a lighter shade to create the illusion of more space.

Consider using accent pieces: Introduce pops of color through accent pieces such as throw pillows, rugs, and artwork. This is an easy and affordable way to add color to a room without committing to a full-scale renovation.

Be mindful of your lighting: Lighting can greatly impact the way colors appear in a room. Consider the natural light and artificial light sources in your space when selecting colors, and adjust your lighting as needed to create the desired effect.

By following these tips, you can revitalize your home through color and create a space that feels fresh and inviting.
