The Easiest Guide to Home Color Palettes
Decorating a home is personal. You connect with the soul of a house and impart your own personal beauty to bring you joy. Home colors drastically change the look and feel of living space. With a little intention behind the color palettes you choose for you your home, you can bring warmth and comfort into all corners of your home.
How to Choose a Color Palette for Your Home
When thinking about the colors you want to bring into your home, begin by choosing something neutral to fill the entire space. Usually, this color fills the walls. Neutral color is a rather loose term. This color can be warmer (more yellow, red) or cooler (more blue, green) depending on your personal preference.
You also want to choose accent colors, but there is a secret formula that can take a rather flat space and make it feel transformed into something more luxurious. Choose an accent color and bring lighter or darker shades of that color into your home space. This helps not only bring depth to a space, but also character. It makes your home decor fit together more seamlessly without appearing too stiff and staged.
An Easy Formula to Choosing Your Home Color Palette
You can choose to create an all neutral space, a neutral space with monochromatic accents, or a neutral space with an accent color and an analogous (pop) color. See below.
