Many interior designers will tell you that it is a good idea to build a color palette for your entire home. And Charlotte, Natalie Papier in North Carolina, is the goat when it comes to planning one. Use these intelligent tips if you need help to find out a coherent color palette for your own home!
Take a look around
“When I work with a customer, I like to find out what they are naturally drawn – whether this is a work of art, an estimated textile or even a favorite dress.” If you consider your closet as a starting point, think about what you are naturally attracted – you always reach for pretty printing? Do you have a dominant color that you notice when you buy again and again? When you look at art, ask yourself why you love certain pieces and see if you notice a color pattern that you tend to.
Select a main color and build on it
Next says paper says to choose a main color that is to be used as a passage and thus with colors that feel harmoniously. For example, if your dominant color is blinded, you can add it with softer colors in the same family – as terracotta and confused blush – so that things do not feel overwhelming. You can also view a color wheel and select additional options that you can use as an accents.
Add some balance
Paper also says that she leaves space for quieter moments. If you have a bright color in your living room, choose a steamed main color for the adjacent room instead of jumping into another lively tone. Now let's take a look at your home to see how she woves the color into her own rooms!
