4 Things to Consider Before Choosing a Color Palette for Your Living Space
Whether you’ve just moved into a new home, you’ve decided it’s time for a change in your current place, the seasons are changing, or you are about to take in a new roommate, there are endless reasons to redecorate your home.
The first piece of advice nearly every interior decorator will tell you is to start with a plan. And the biggest part of that plan should be your color palette.
Before you decide, here are four things you should consider.
1.What colors do you like? What about the people you live with?
This may seem obvious, but when multiple people live together, they often disagree on paint or wallpaper colors. One person may like more neutral tones while another prefers brighter hues. There is no right or wrong, but a compromise has to be made and should be decided upon before anything is purchased.
2. Will your color scheme work with surrounding rooms?
In a previous blog post, we talked about how to avoid clashing between rooms in an open floor plan. If you are redecorating your bedroom, it probably doesn’t make a difference what colors you use, as long as you (and your partner) like them. Same goes for the bathroom. However, if you are redecorating your living room and it opens to your kitchen and your den, your colors should work well with those other two rooms.
