How to Decorate With Color : Use Your Environment

What colors surround you? Is your home already decorated in warm reds or bright blues? Do you tend to wear all black but with hints of green? When you go on vacation do you head to the mountains or is the beach your preference?

Your answers to these questions can help lead you to the colors that will work best for you. If your home is already filled with warm colors then it may be awkward if you paint your living room lime green. The colors of your home should flow as you walk from room to room. If you find yourself being pulled to a certain color not found elsewhere in your home then perhaps you could pick a darker or lighter version of that color that will flow better.

Generally, the colors you wear the most look the best with your skin tone and hair color. Decorating your home with colors you wear will not only make you look good in your home but will make you feel good about the colors that surround you. If you tend to wear a lot of black and you accessorize with green then think about using black furniture with green accents. Do you have a built-in bookshelf or entertainment center in your home? Paint the shelving black and the wall green. The hints of green coming through will add a huge impact without being overwhelming.

Looking at your favorite environments is also an excellent way to choose colors for your home. If you like the mountains then you may be drawn to warmer colors of dark browns and greens while someone who walks the beach may find that light blues and shades of white make them feel good.

Use what you find around you and you may be surprised to find you already know what colors work best for you and your home.
