Let your eye take kind of a roller coaster ride as it looks at varied heights and odd numbers. Use a very bold red, as an accent in a room. The main color can be a warm caf? latte brown, creamy beige, or even a darker brown which acts as a neutral and allows you to bring many different

Color Many people are afraid of adding big splashes of color to their homes for fear of choosing the wrong color, or of affecting the home’s selling price when and if they sell. Here are some tips for you that hopefully will allay those fears.

Color is very personal. You should decorate with colors that make YOU feel great. Use it in ways that can be easily changed in case you should want to sell. Throw rugs, accent pillows, walls, etc. You are best served by a neutral wall-to-wall carpet, such as a camel or caf? latte brown.

To begin, think about the feeling you want to create in that room. All colors inspire emotions. You’ll want to match the emotion with the room. For example, red inspires drama and conversation. It would be great in a dining room, as an accent color in a living room or a kitchen. Blue inspires relaxation and is great for a bedroom or near your soaking tub.

Once you’ve decided which feeling you want to encourage in the room, start bringing in some small touches of that color in. Candles are an easy and inexpensive way to experiment with different shades of a color to help you find the right one to build on.

Use varied heights of accessories as it interests the eye.

Find accessories that are “year round”. Use pieces that can be changed up with the seasons. For spring, you could add silk flowers or jelly beans. Glass marbles could also be used. In the fall, fill one with popcorn, or candy corn or pine cones or silk leaves. For the holidays, mini pumpkins, silk leaves and pinecones or glass ornaments of varying colors.

Texture
