The Perfect Palette Color code your way to serenity  Image courtesy HGTV One of the first steps to piecing together your home is to figure out your color scheme. What colors do you like? What colors mix with what you already own? What colors make you run away in horror? In her book �Harmonious Home: Smart planning for a home that really works� (Ryland, Peters & Small, 2008), Judith Wilson provides checklist of questions aimed to help you figure out your color personality before discover it on your own, the hard way. 1) Which colors do you like best? Do you prefer neutrals, pastels, shades of white, deep colors or bright colors? 2) Are you a one-color person, or would you rather have a good mix of shades? 3) Is the space open-plan? Can color be used to unify spaces, or alternatively to delineate active or peaceful zones? 4) Look at your planned hard surfaces: Do they tone well or fight with potential colors? 5) How important is pattern? One strong design can be the core to a working palette throughout a home |
