Get creative!
If you're anything like us, you spend a lot of time in your living room. Arguably the most used room in the home, it serves as the "heart" or central place of congregation. It's where you relax in front of the TV after a long day, where you host parties and entertain guests - like the name states - it's where you live.
When it comes to cozying up any room, color has the most power.
3 Tips When Mixing Color:
1. Opt for Colors with Like Temperatures
Colors can be put into two groups: warm or cool. Pairing colors with like temperatures always results in harmonious color combinations. For example, pairing cool hues like blues and greens together always works well. Or pairing a mix of warm neutrals, such as a soft beige with a rich brown or a deep shade or orange, will be equally pleasing to the eye.
2. Do The Opposite: Choose Complementary Colors
Opposites attract and this certainly holds true when thinking about the color wheel. Colors opposite one another tend to be very complementary and look beautiful when paired together.
3. Go Monochromatic
Think tone on tone. It’s a very sophisticated look and is almost foolproof to pull off and make work. Colors within the same hue but slightly different tones—for example, a pale blue with a deeper blue—will always look stunning and add a simple elegance.
