It's that time of year, when you have the urge to open all the windows, enjoy the warmer weather, spruce up the place, and invite your friends and family over for some summer fun.
But wait - what to do about those oh so sad white walls that have been collecting dust all winter long.
Incorporating a healthy dose of color into your home is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to freshen things up and bring your home back to life.
As a professional color consultant and owner of Spiral Designs Color Consulting -
www.spiraldesignsinc.com, I find that color is one of the best ways to bring a home back to life and to create a space that is inviting and truly reflects your lifestyle.
Color can be incorporated into all aspects of your home through furnishings, fabrics, artwork, accessories and the most obvious - the walls of your home.
This summer, consider incorporating colors that reflect the season such as yellows, blues and greens. Or take a chance and go bold with a fiery red or terra cotta. Any color can work in almost any room if the right shade is selected. If you are afraid to go bold then consider starting on a smaller scale with a small room in your home such as a bathroom or guest bedroom, or an accent wall in a main room such as the living or dining room. As you begin to articulate your color tastes and gain confidence, you can venture into larger scale areas of your home.
Summer is a time to relax, entertain and to let the outside in, so why not let your home reflect this celebration through the use of color. I work with all my clients to assist them in creating beautiful spaces that provide them with a sense of style, space and personality that is uniquely theirs. I take the fear out of choosing colors so you can enjoy the process and the results!
