Many decorators recommend colour continuity throughout a house. However, this doesn't mean using the same colour scheme in every room - how boring would that be! It does, however, mean a smooth colour transition from one room to the next.
One connecting colour will serve to accomplish this. It could be a soft sage green shade - or robin's egg blue - or buttercup yellow - any colour actually. The key is to use your connecting colour in varying degrees of intensity from room to room. Sometimes your main colour in one room would then be better used as an accent colour in an adjoining room. It might be carpeting in one room; walls in another; an occasional chair in a third; an element in the drapery fabric in a fourth.
It's also extremely important to add one unexpected fun, splash colour into your basic colour scheme. Did you know that when we walk into any room, our eyes crave visual movement? And by adding a splash colour, something unexpected into your overall colour scheme, you instantly add visual interest into your design plan!
Think about a basic colour scheme of buttercup yellow, sage greens, and warm winter whites. Most would find this a calming colour palette, and can easily visualize carrying varying degrees of intensity of these colours from room to room. But just think about the awesome impact a splash colour could add! How about introducing a warm coral shade into this colour scheme. By cleverly using this colour in accent or accessory pieces, and then moving these coloured accents strategically around your room, you've immediately created a much more pleasing design plan, full of impact and visual interest!
And if you love to rearrange your furniture, just think of the possibilities colour continuity from room to room affords! All your furniture pieces, as well as your accessories can be easily interchangeable from room to room! SEO Philadelphia services provided by SEOM Interactive |
