Choosing The Right Color Scheme

While choosing the colors for your home decoration, it is essential that the colors used are compatible. You might find it very easy if you are required to choose only one color for your room. However, things become difficult as well as complicated when you have to design one color scheme that is applicable for the whole room.

This means that the color scheme which you are planning to design will have to take into account the walls of the room, doors, windows, furniture, curtains, accents, accessories etc. Color schemes can be monochromatic, wherein only one color is used for the home décor, complementary wherein you use two complementary colors, or triadic wherein three colors are used.

This brings you to the question, “What is the method you should adopt in choosing the colors for your room décor?” This question can be answered like this: Select the basic hue for your room and then decide on the pattern of color distribution.

•    The first step in this process is to select a style which can be casual or formal; at this stage you must also choose the theme that you would like to follow for your room. This can either be techno modern or traditional.

•    As a second step, you must decide on the ‘anchor’ or ‘basic’ fabric. This fabric will have three or more colors.

•    Now select the fabric background color as the color of the wall.

•    Select a medium-toned color for the furniture pieces and flooring. You can use the coordinating fabric or anchor for the upholstery.

•    It is possible for you to use the anchor fabric in a number of places such as curtains, upholstery etc.

•    Select the liveliest hue from the anchor fabric and choose items such as decorative pillows and picture mats that match this hue.

•    Use coordinating fabrics in smaller or larger amounts for accent fabrics on items such as chairs, cording, pillows and tablecloths.
