Last night was the third week of my design series at PCC. It’s one of my favorite classes – Color! A little can of paint, an interesting piece of fabric, a fantastic collectible in your favorite color can ALL make such an impact on your space.
A few useful tips to consider:
- Use a strong color on one wall to balance a heavy piece of furniture (eg: piano, large armoire)
- Think in terms of threes: if you bring in an item that is a distinctly different color than the rest of the space, make it work by adding in at least three items in that color.
- Play the percentages: Think of your colors in the ratio of 60/30/10. 60% is the color you want to see the most of, 30% is your second choice and 10% is the accent color that gives your space the personality.
