BEFORE YOU START!

COLOR SCHEMES

1. Monochromatic 

2. Analogous

Different shades of one color are used.

Use colors that fall next to each other on the color wheel.

3. Complimentary

Every primary color has a complement that creates a vibrant contrast.

If you like to change up your decor frequently,  keep your walls a light neutral color.

Pay attention to any permanent fixture. You'll either have to embrace its color or tone it down

Neutrals don't necessarily mean "beige"

NEUTRALS

Warm neutrals are beige, ivory, taupe, nude, sand and blush.

Cool neutrals are white, blue and gray and they play well with more saturated versions of the same color.

Once you've chosen your neutral, pick 1-5 other colors that will act as your main accent colors and (optionally) one color that you will use sparingly as a saturated "pop" of color.

KEY TAKE AWAYS!

Use color you love

1.
