    Colourize the Right Way

    by Sijia on January 24, 2010

    There is a right and wrong way to add colour but it doesn’t need to be complicated.

    Follow this one simple rule for no fail colour:

    • Use 3 distinct colour tones to add depth and warmth
      • Neutral – Molding, Trim work, Furniture
      • Mid Tone -  Walls, Furniture
      • Highlight – Accessories, Throw pillows, curtains, accents

    I was going to give more lessons on each but I found this post: Tip And Tools For Creating A Stunning Colour Scheme. It includes links to colour scheme selectors and designers. Albeit it’s geared towards web design but there are many concepts that overlap between web and interior design as I have posted before.

    Hope you find this helpful. Enjoy!
