Elements of Interior Design - Color

Color can be the most unifying element in your rooms and home and is an integral part of your decorating scheme. You might get a cue from nature, a season, a destination, a favorite fabric, rug or artwork, or just your love of a certain color itself. You can use a neutral palette on walls and have your color come from furnishings, accessories and accents, or the wall color can be the color backdrop that unifies the space. Your use of color expresses your personality and gives your rooms character. It can stimulate you or soothe your soul--but it should always make you feel comfortable. If you wouldn't wear it, you probably won't want to live with it. And don't buy into color trends!
