Color Palette for your Home

How to create a color palette for your home. Having a defined interior color scheme for your home isn’t as intimidating as it may seem.

The best place to start is with color. More specifically creating a color scheme for your home will ensure that one room ties into the next nicely, even if the style of each room is a little bit different. And, creating an interior color scheme, or color palette for your home will make your decorating choices so much easier because it will narrow the number of choices you have.

But choosing colors for your home can be really overwhelming so you will have to come up with a process that would ensure a unified color palette and would be able to use that decor in more than one room.

Starting with your favorite color means that you won’t be getting sick of it any time soon. Now if your favorite color is cobalt blue then to go paint all of your walls that color, but you can most definitely use it as a starting point.

The point is the color evokes emotion. So, think about places or views that make you feel awesome and start to notice if there are certain colors off that color palette, you can bring into your home that contrast that will give you those same feelings.

99.9% of us aren’t on an unlimited budget which means that we’re always trying to figure out ways to work with what we already have. So, think of things like already existing furniture, cabinetry, countertops, and flooring. Figuring out contrast when looking at these things when choosing paint colors. You want to look at the color and decide if the base color has red, green, blue, brown, or yellow and go with a pasture off that main color. For instance, I have green tile in the kitchen and blue in the bathroom, painting the rest of the upper walls will have to be in contrast with the existing tile.
