Is a neutral color scheme always appropriate?
No. It totally depends on the house, the location, the architecture, and the personality of the homeowner. It’s about trying to keep a balance. An entire neutral house can be boring. Q: How do you use color to affect relationship and the relationship with other decorative elements? A: Color is key to how the decor is perceived. If it’s a big room, paint it a brighter, warmer color to bring the walls in. Paint a smaller room a cooler color to push the walls out. Color also establishes visual weight and balance. If you put a bold primary-based piece of art in a pastel room, it’s probably not going to seem right. The colors of the art should balance the colors of the space. Q: What are the challenges homeowners face in choosing colors and color schemes? A: Sometimes people are scared of color, especially dark colors. Ultimately, people should really follow their heart: If they love a color, test it, and like it in place, they should not be afraid to choose it.
