Spring Painting

Finally, spring is here and you’re feeling motivated to redecorate that room you’ve been neglecting. First order of business- choosing paint colors. O.K., now you’re remembering why you’ve put off doing something with this room. Applying paint to walls requires a huge commitment to that color choice, so many of us stay in the beige zone just to be safe. If you want to add some color to your life, here are some ways to do it. Choose something from the space that will be a “jump off” point of inspiration to pull color choices, such as a dominant piece of artwork or large area rug. Using the color wheel approach will help determine if you want a complementary color scheme, or a more soothing analogous feel. Now, apply the 60/30/10 rule- 60% is the dominant color of the room, 30% is the secondary choice (maybe an accent wall, or introduced through furniture pieces or draperies) and 10% is the accent color, which provides a pop of visual interest and can be in the form of select accent pieces.
