Why Color Is Important - Kennedy Painting

Why Color Is Important

Color is perhaps the most important thing which you need to look at when it comes to decorating. No matter what style you choose for your home, it is going to need a fresh look to the walls and choosing the right color is essential.

These days there are so many different colors to choose from so just how do you know which one is right for your room?

Choosing the Right Color Scheme

In order to choose the right color scheme for your room you need to spend some time knowing what look you want to achieve. Look at the colors already around the home. Are you planning on changing the whole house or just that one room?

If you are just changing one room then you need to make sure that the color you choose not only suits that room, but the color scheme of the whole house. For example, you do not want to opt for a vibrant purple color when the rest of the house is decorated in white. It would look simply odd and the room would not flow at all with the rest of the house. So, always take care of the color that you choose and do not be too hasty just because you like it.

If you want to create a warm looking room it does not mean that you have to use a vibrant red color. It is more than possible to use a cream color and create the warmth with the smaller pieces of furniture and decorations. You could have warm colored curtains such as a deep red. It would not contrast with the walls if it was the right color. A deep red can look different in many different places so look around to find the right color for you.

The furniture should match the color of your walls or if it doesn’t match it should compliment it. You can get ideas from magazines as to what looks better with what and that will help you when you do actually look into adding a little color to the room. You can also find ideas on the internet and maybe ever from friends and family. Though the room should be personal to you and so it needs to reflect your personality not anybody else’s.

You need to decide what you want the focus to be within the room. Usually the walls are not really the focus but if you choose a vibrant color with natural colored furniture then they will be. So, think carefully before choosing any color and ensure that it compliments the main focus in the room. For example in the bedroom you may want the bed itself to be the main focus. If that is the case it should be decorated with perhaps neutral shades and a throw over the end would go really well. Meanwhile the walls would also be a soft color perhaps a nice cream color.

Overall you need to do your research and look through plenty of magazines to see what goes and what doesn’t. Only then will you have an idea of what color to do the walls so that it makes the whole room look inviting and personal.
