What is your biggest challenge when it comes to selecting the right colors for decorating your home?
Posted by Jade Martins on Nov-9-2009
The biggest challenge is trusting your instincts and being brave enough to actually put that bright red or dark brown paint on the wall and trust that no matter what it looks like while you’re doing it that it will probably look good when you are done. It’s amazing how dark some colors look when you put the first strokes on as opposed to when you’re finished the whole room and wonder what you were worried about. Finishing the whole room completely changes it.

Finding something that doesn’t look too much like a color when trying for neutral. I’ve had taupes look pink and beiges look yellow. I now prefer dark bold colors if in doubt.

Making sure that you have a good contrast between the colors that you use. In other words, the colors should be complementary. The best thing to do is purchase/borrow a color wheel so that you will see what colors work well together..
