Interior Design Rules to Live By
Add Colour, but use it wisely
Colour is the best way to transform a room, but too much can be overpowering and the wrong combinations can ruin any space. Adding colour to white walls can make a huge difference, but be sure you’ve selected the right color for your space. You can use our paint colour visualizer for help.
Art as Inspiration
If you have a piece of art that you love, but don’t know how to decorate around it, choose your two favorite colours from the piece and use them in various instances throughout the room. You’ll be amazed at how a piece of artwork can become central to your room’s decor without losing any aesthetic value or authenticity.
Don’t keep it in the Closet
Lacking ideas when it comes to choosing a colour theme? Pull inspiration from your wardrobe. Head to your closet for inspiration. If there is a specific colour or colours that you love to wear you may also love them on your walls.
Get Away at Home
Bring the outside inside. Find colors from your favourite vacation spot to bring into your home. If you love the beach, look there for inspirational beige’s, greens and blues. Love the woods? Look for deep, earthy browns and greens to feel closer to nature.
