When choosing a color for a room it’s very common to run into confidence issues. With so many choices many people simply resort to pastel colors or magnolia, white or cream. If you find yourself in that position a good idea is to look around at the furnishings or carpets you already have or research what you might like to buy and start from there. Whilst shapes, in the form of a round rug, for example, might not be critical, the color and design is. You will also want to look at the accessories you have in the room ranging from the fruit in a bowl to the paintings on the walls.
Start with colors that you personally like. Look at furnishings, such as area rugs and drapes and accessories, such as vases and throws, that contain these colors and browse books and magazines to see how others have used them. However, follow your instincts and remember it’s yourself (and other household members) that you need to please rather than being a slave to the latest design fashions. Choose something you can easily live with and enjoy.
