Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty
Find inspiration: For my patrons, I suggest looking at interior design websites, magazines, Pinterest, etc. to find places similar to theirs or how they want their spaces to look. Mix and match ideas to make it yours.
What do you like already? You probably enjoy that object (couch, desk, rug) because of its color. So, match, complement, or contrast your new piece with something else you love.
Use color theory: Discover or create a palette to use. This tends to be 5 colors that work together in contrast and balance. And it's easy because paint stores and online designers have countless options pre-made for you to select.
Size: Do you want a small area to feel bigger? Then try a bright color. Is a space oppressively large? Go for darker tones. Trying to "even out" a narrow room? Use darker hues on short walls and lighter hues on the long walls.
How do you want to feel? Color impacts our emotions. How is the room used? If you have a quiet, private space you'll want dark greens, blues, and other calming neutrals. But, in active entertaining spaces a better choice is reds, yellows, and other warm variations.
It can feel overwhelming because the options are literally limitless. So, it can help to create limits based on the current space, possessions, feelings, preferences, and design principles.

COME TO THE allFREEDOM SUMMER PARTY AT:
