How to choose the right color scheme for your home



You can call a house your home when you’re able to add your personal touch to it. You want to look for furniture that you need and choose your interior and exterior design to match your vibes. Choosing the perfect color scheme for your home is also a vital part when it comes to decorating your home.


Color can add a lot of life to your home; it could easily change the mood of a plain room. There’s no wrong way of choosing it, you don’t need to follow any rules or theories of design. However, it is necessary to choose a color that could blend to your personal style.


Choosing a color is not limited based on the color wheel. Yes! It could be a great help to be familiar with different colors but it would be easier for you to choose between warm, cool, or neutral colors.


Warm colors include red, pink, yellow, orange and lime green. These colors are best for wide spaces like living room and dining room. While cool colors include blue, green, and purple which are best for smaller spaces like bedroom and bathrooms. On the other hand, neutral colors like black, white, brown, beige and grey can add a dramatic accent to your home.


Now that you know the differences between warm, cool, and neutral colors, you want to start considering the following list to narrow down your choices of color.


1. Mix and Match

Choose your color palette. You can try painting on a paper or a small part of your wall with colors that you feel blending together. You can start with contrasts, something dark paired with something light. A brighter color could add a little more energy to your home.


2. Lighting

Light reflects and deflects color; it could make it brighter or darker on the other side of the room. You need to consider the light that reflects from your windows and bulb. The natural light could differ during the day and night. You can adjust your artificial lights to balance the scheme of your home at night.


3. Spaces

For small spaces room, you want to make it look bigger. While some, usually paint it white, it would be an eye-catchy room if you give it more color. Blue can create a pop yet calm vibes to your bedroom. For large spaces you can always add a colorful piece such as large rug or an artwork which will give more life to a neutral wall. You can also start choosing the color from floor to ceiling. You want to have a darker floor so it won’t make the wall look like floating.


4. Go Timeless

You’ll never go wrong with black and white. This blend can create stunning and dramatic accent. You can also use a touch of black in every room. It adds focal point of color that adds sophisticated look to a room. You can have black accessories, light furniture that will give an outline to a specific of your home. On the other hand, white gives calm, fresh, clean and elegant look to any room. For contemporary interiors, black and white is often combined with sleek metals.


5. Rock a Monochromatic Look

If you’re afraid to experiment with colors, select one color that you’ll never get tired looking at. With that one color you can create different hues, varying the saturation and tone of the base color to get a lighter and darker hue.


6. Follow the Rule of Three

Limit your scheme to just three colors. A people say, three is stronger and more memorable than one. You can pick a primary color and pick two other complementary colors. Just like Yellow, green and blue which gives more life to a bedroom. But of course you can always break the rules.


7. 60-30-10 Rule

A classic decorating rule can help you create a color scheme for a space. For bigger rooms such as living rooms, it would be harder for you to blend all these colors but with this rule you can easily rock it. Just like the rule of three, choose three colors that you want to incorporate in your home. 60% of your room should be the dominant color, 30% of it should be the secondary color while the last 10% will be the accent.


When you enter a room, you want to easily identify the overall color of the room. 60% of your room should have a dominating color. 30% of your room should be a color that would support the main color but different enough to give a dramatic accent. You could pick your 10% and applied to your decorations that could give more character or keep it more neutral. For some, green plants are the safest.


8. Check your furniture

Decorating from scratch is pretty hard, but choosing your furniture first could be a little help. You can buy a sofa that you love and decorate around it. If you are already decided with the color that you want for your walls, you’d prefer your furniture to blend with the room. Although, neutral colors are common you can always explore with something more creative.


9. Find an inspiration

Pick an image or object that you love, and you can start creating your color scheme based on that. It could be a piece of artwork or you can search for a picture online which could be your inspiration. You can also picture your dream house and try to recreate a similarly balanced color sheme.


10. Follow your personal style
