Let’s get really basic for a second here. Color is one of the first things most of us consider when picking out, well, anything. We might find the perfect pair of shoes or style of jeans, but if they are in an ugly or unpleasant color,\u00a0we pass them over. And even if they are<\/em> a color we like, colors clash, or wash us out, or just aren’t suited to the situation (bright magenta dress for a funeral, sober black for a garden party, etc.) The same goes for decor. Learning how to use color to your advantage can make or break a room. Here are a few tips and tricks for implementing it well.<\/p>\n

An End of Neutrality\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Little
Little pops of color go great with more neutral tones. (Jennifer Brouwer Design inc)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is a reason that we call unconventional or eccentric people “colorful”. Color just can’t help but command your attention.\u00a0It can draw the eye faster than even the most outrageous pattern or outlandish furniture choice. Keeping this in mind, a little goes a long way. Little isolated pops of color (especially bright ones like red or yellow) can add visual interest to an otherwise neutral-toned room. In the photo above the decorator has chosen a number of colorful accents–a vase, pillows, and flowers–staying on theme while adding some variety.<\/p>\n

The right color can wake up a sleepy section of your home. (By Joe Carrick Design)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Don’t just limit your color harmony to a living room or bedroom. Halls and foyers are the first section of your home your guests will see, and are perfect for playing around with a little. Color motifs\u00a0don’t only have to come in the form of accents or knick-knacks. Painting a door or a single wall is a great way to use an unusual or shocking hue without it becoming overwhelming. The turquoise in the above picture would be gaudy if applied with a heavy hand, but on the door and rug it’s perfect.<\/p>\n

\"Inverting
Inverting color schemes adds variety to decor. (By Scott Weston Architecture Design PL)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Alternatively, you could turn all that advice on its head and something completely opposite. A room saturated with color, with little sprinkles of white or grey or some other neutral is a bold, fresh idea. Neutral accents<\/a> could be anything from a lamp, to a cushion, to a bowl of white lilies, and this motif would probably work best in a room with a lot natural light. You wouldn’t want to go overboard;\u00a0a house with multiple oversaturated rooms could quickly become oppressive.<\/p>\n

\"Tone
Tone up your palette of greens with a little bit of green. (By Martha O’Hara Interiors)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Looking for something a little more natural, a little more ‘found object’? No better color to add to a room than the most natural color of them all: green. Houseplants are a simple and low-cost choice\u00a0for breaking up a decor scheme without being ostentatious. In the picture above the style is echoed in the floral patterns of the cushions and drapes, but\u00a0honestly it’s hard to find a motif that won’t match a plant.<\/p>\n

\"Consider
Consider unusual or underutilized color combinations. (By Favreau Designs)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You know those colors that very few people can pull off in fashion–orange, burgundy, lavender, certain tones of off-white? The same goes for interior decorating. There are certain colors that can quickly overwhelm a space when used in too great a concentration, but when applied sparingly can bring out a trendy creativity that you can’t get from more conservative hues. An orange or gold chair might seem like a daring choice, but can work well when paired with more neutral-colored rug or walls.<\/p>\n

Color theory is something artists spend years studying and perfecting, so don’t worry if it takes a little while to get things together.\u00a0When it comes down to it, colors are just fun to play around with.
