A few hours ago, I posted the Pantone's color palette for 2012. Immediately, I received some e-mails with the obligatory question " How do I select color schemes for my home"?
For some of us it may feel like a daunting task, but it really isn't, if you follow certain rules.I would suggest that you invest in a color wheel, which you may buy in any art store. This color wheel will proof to be a valuable tool in all your decorating efforts. I can promise, that this tool will take away any of your fears and will allow you to look at your color scheme with the eye of an interior designer. So, not to worry, invest in this inexpensive tool.With the correct color scheme you are able to set a mood, make a statement or just be energized or if you have lots of stress in your life, you can use color to sooth your soul.
Warm colors ( reds, oranges, yellows) seem to be advancing, moving towards you; thus decreasing the size and space of a room. However, if you want to create a warm, comfortable and cozy design style, use warm colors, intermixed with a few cool accessories.
Cool color hues ( blue and greens )tend to recede, they move away from you, visually suggesting a larger and open design style. Consequently, if you are dealing with a small space, use cool colors, intermixed with some warm accessories.

I hope that you have gained a little insight into the world of color, and that it will be easier for you now to select the "mood" for your home.
Stay tune, next blog will be about how to choose your colors from a color wheel.
All My Best,
