Having an Eye For Colour.

[reblogged from photobucket]

  Once you have decided that it’s time to redecorate, you can often be just itching to get started.  But hold on a minute; how much thought have you actually given to your new colour scheme?  You may have earmarked a gorgeous shade of paint, but will it go with the rest of the room?  If not, then it may end up costing you a small fortune to replace your carpet, furniture, ornaments and curtains!

   Now, I’m going to make a suggestion and you are probably not going to like it…  Why not just use neutral colours for your walls?  This may sound pretty boring, but it certainly doesn’t need to be!  White, beige or magnolia walls with white paintwork make a wonderful base for a room.  Think of them as an empty canvas; once they are finished you can add your own personal twist.

   Virtually any colour in carpets, roller blinds, rugs, furniture and fittings will go with these neutral shades.  All you have to do is to use your imagination!  Not only that, but it will all have a very spacious effect.  And if your room is not very large to begin with, then this can make it feel a whole lot less claustrophobic!
