Here are answers to frequently asked questions about choosing the most appropriate and effective colour palette for any given interior.
Q: What's the most important role colour plays in a room?
A: It sets the mood for a room. The colour you choose is really about what you want the room to feel like.
Q: What kind of guidelines should you follow if someone wants to use bold colours?
A: You need to be aware that you will likely get tired of bold colours very quickly. If you really want to incorporate a strong, bold coluor, use it as an accent. Bold colours are often attractive because they are the colour of the moment; this can quickly date a room.
Q: Is a neutral color scheme always appropriate?
A: No. It totally depends on the house, the location, the architecture, and the personality of the homeowner. It's about trying to keep a balance. An entire neutral house can be boring.
Q: How do you use color to affect relationship and the relationship with other decorative elements?
A: Colour is key to how the decor is perceived. If it's a big room, paint it a brighter, warmer color to bring the walls in. Paint a smaller room a cooler colour to push the walls out. Colour also establishes visual weight and balance. If you put a bold primary-based piece of art in a pastel room, it's probably not going to seem right. The colours of the art should balance the
colours of the space.
Q: What are the challenges homeowners face in choosing colours and color schemes?
A: Sometimes people are scared of colour, especially dark colours. Ultimately, people should really follow their heart: If they love a colour, test it, and like it in place, they should not be afraid to choose it.
