Quick tip #1

If you have furniture's of different style or seem unrelated , the best possible way to unite is by using colors. For example

1) In a living room you can use throw pillows that has the same hue as one of the upholstered furniture over the others furniture's.
2) You can use the same material as of the curtains and create a mix of similar hue but different value and shade for the throw pillows and spread it over the furniture's.

This picture gives a clear picture of how the furniture's can be brought closer and united. Here however they are using the same pattern (Circular) of the painting with different value and shade but of the same set warm colors.

Experiencing colors

I would like to illustrate the importance of color with a simple photography below and see how it brings life to a picture.



Now adding colors to the picture - A picture is worth a thousand words.


similarly, We have to have bring life to the room we are decorating for our clients.

#1 . Colors are the Single most important factor in creating the mood of a room.
#2. Its knowledgeable use of color can make a room come alive and make it sing.
#3. Not just our eyes , but our mind and emotions respond to different colors in different ways.

Even in our day to day life we use colors for various responses i.e "In the pink" ,"feeling blue" , "a rosy outlook" Etc.

Now here are some colors and the impressions they give :-

Red - strongest, most stimulating color.


Blue - serene , cool, remote.


Violet - impressive , stately.


Green - restful , calm.


Orange - cheerful , warm.


Yellow - sunny , bright.

Neutral - Like the black , white ,gray and toned down brown and beige are sometimes considered no colors. They may sound dull but can be made exciting and sophisticated if handled skilfully.And the best example i have come across so far,



Here we are just discussing pure colors - the bright colors we see in children's paint jars. But these colors can be modified to make it more attractive to more people.
These colors can be made lighter, darker or duller to bring different impact on people. For example , a person who hates pure red might like rich wine red color.
