Making Your Kid's Rooms Fun

When I bought my first place, I thought that it would be nice to create high-end, neutral kid's rooms. I figured that I could blend the decor with the design of the rest of the house, which might make more sense. Unfortunately, when it was all said and done, my kid's rooms were boring. Instead of bright colors and interesting themes, each room looked like an extension of my beige living room. However, after finding the right accessories, I was able to transform each space to make it much more fun. Check out this blog for tips on how to make your kid's rooms incredible.

3 Tips To Help You Create A Color Palette For Your Room

Remodeling a room in your home can be a great way to breathe new life into the space. Selecting a color palette for your newly designed room can be exciting, but it can also be challenging. With so many color options available, selecting the perfect color palette is tricky.

Here are three tips you can use to ensure that the colors you select create a cohesive look in your new room.

1. Select one or two dominant colors.

The first thing you must do when creating a color palette for your new room is decide on a dominant color (or colors). Since you will want your space to look sophisticated rather than gaudy, limiting yourself to one or two dominant colors is best.

Consult a color wheel to find colors that are complementary. Colors located across from one another on the color wheel can be combined in the same room without compromising the polished look you desire. You can also group two colors that are next to one another on the color wheel to create the base for your color palette.

2. Determine which neutral colors you will incorporate into your room.

Adding in neutral colors helps to ground the design of your room. Colors like grey, brown, black, or white can be combined with virtually any dominant colors you have selected.

These neutral colors should be used to guide the furnishings you purchase to decorate your room. Having neutral furnishings makes it easier to update your color palette without investing in all new furniture in the future.

3. Use tones rather than pure colors when decorating.

Many homeowners don't take the time to learn the difference between pure colors and tones. Whenever both white and black are added to a pure color, a tone is created. Tones tend to be more pleasing to the eye, making them the perfect choice for interior design.

Since tones are not quite as vibrant as their pure color relatives, they can be combined with more color options to create an aesthetically pleasing look in your remodeled room. When selecting paint colors, opting to invest in a tone instead of a pure color will help you better coordinate your color palette.

Redesigning a room in your home can be exciting. By taking the time to learn some simple tips that will help you select a color palette, you will have the ability to transform your living space into a room that you can be proud of.
