Creating a beautiful room with paint!

Creating a beautiful room involves many different elements: color, creativity, placement, furniture and accessorizing. One of the most important and intimidating is the process of color. Many of my clients will fall back to neutral beiges (when done right, beiges can be very cozy), which may result in the room feeling half done. Working with a certified color specialist can help take the guess work out of the process, resulting in a beautiful room!

Here are just a few tips to consider when choosing color:

1. Keeping the walls and floor color in similar tone will make the room appear larger.

2. Lighting makes a huge impact in a room. Will you be using incandescent, LED or  

    florescent? Each light gives off its own effect.

3.Did you know that every color has a warm and cool version? If you choose the wrong 

   version, it could have a devastating effect in your room. Color can literally make or break  

   a room!!

4. Using color at least 3 times and in 3 different zones will create interest and movement 

    in a room.

5. Ceilings are a great area for adding additional color to a room. Just make sure you keep  

    the rest of the room light.

These are just some of the things to consider when painting/decorating a room. As a certified color specialist,  I have seen rooms that would have otherwise been beautiful, fail due to the fact they chose the wrong color. Don’t make that mistake!! Hiring a color specialist is pennies on the dollar, when you consider what the labor and paint costed you!!

The Art of Accessorizing

The appeal of a beautiful room has many aspects, physically, visually, and emotionally. Every room needs careful attention, from floor to ceiling. Each step builds upon the next. Careful consideration must be taken when accessorizing and creating a room. Keep in mind the style and "feel" you are trying to create. What story are you trying to convey?

Here are just some things to consider:

1.  Create interest by using unexpected art for accessorizing.

2. Shop at many different stores. This will help create a room that does not appear to be from a "Rooms to Go" catalog.

3. When decorating, odd numbers work best.

4. Placing a mirror over a mantel will only reflect the floor, so don't do it!

5. Use old windows, textiles, etc to create unique displays.

6. Create your own art or accessories.

7. Hire a professional. They're not as expensive as you think and you will have a one-of-a kind room.

Whatever you do, have fun doing it. The key is to use art and accessories that feel personal and reflect your taste!
