Ever wonder how color combinations work? The first rule of thumb is not to be afraid to go bold. Combining brilliant colors with subtle neutrals is like adding spice to a dish – it’s instant drama and excitement.
But how do you know which colors will work best? Color affects a room’s “temperature” – it can make a space feel warm or cool, bright or relaxing. Even neutrals aren’t so neutral, as they can also be separated into warm and cool shades.
Warm colors, like reds, oranges and yellows, add energy to a space and make it feel brighter. Perfect in kitchens and family rooms, warm colors create an inviting atmosphere for your family. Cool colors, like blues, greens and purples, create a calming, refreshing mood. These tranquil colors work best in bedrooms and bathrooms and create a serene or dramatic mood.
So there you have it. What color combination are you dying to try?
