Adding Color To Your Rooms, How Do You Choose?

Part 3 Tips on choosing the pain color for your rooms.

Choose a combination of colors. Two, three or four colors. Choose one of the colors to be the main color. Use the other colors as accents. Some colors are more bold than others. Red is one that can be overpowering if to much of it is used. Green, blue, and violet are colors that can calm you.

A good way to find what works well together is to look at magazines that talk about home decor find one that you like the colors of. See how they have used the colors and do that in your home.
This is a good place to go to get ideas, you can post your room and see what others have to say that might help you. If you see other rooms that you like that you can use for inspiration. Go to:
Rate My Space
Color Splash

If you have fabric that you like and it has more than one color. Choose some colors from that fabric, that means that they will all work together. They already do in the fabric. If it is the curtains and furniture take the color from them. The colors of the room need to go with the colors that you already have or it will not work.

Now that you have some ideas after answering these questions and others that you might come up with. If you want a more relaxing room it is best to choose from the cool side of the color wheel. These colors would be yellow green, green, blue green,blue,blue violet,violet. If you want a more upbeat room choose colors from the warm side of the color wheel.

If You Are On A Budget, Adding Color To The Room Can Dress Up Any Room!

Adding a painting to a wall makes a statement. You can find cheap artwork for your wall that you enjoy and it will say something about you. Some people like to add a painting to a wall to create a focal point in a room and it does it well. It will surprise you the difference a picture or a painting will make in a room.
(click to see videos)
Creating your own art is a good way to add some of your personality into the room.

Adding colorful rugs to a drab room will make an amazing difference with the look and feel. A rug can brighten up and make the room look brand new.

Depending on the style of your furniture, you might consider an area rug as your center point in the room. You will be surprised with the difference you can make by laying out an area rug.

Adding color with your accessories is another good way to have color in the room. Pillows, vases, decorative items are a few ways to add color around the room not just on the walls. These things can tie all the room together with different colors.

We would love to read your comments about how you have used color in your rooms

If You Are On A Budget, Adding Color To The Room Can Dress Up Any Room!

Part 4 (click to see the videos)

You can spruce up any room at a low cost. There are many things that you can do without having to spend a lot of money. Many of the items you can purchase to liven up a room include paint, paintings, rugs and if you are good at taking photos put them into a frame for a personal tough.

White walls can be very boring in a new home or apartment (ask if you can change the wall color in the apartment, some places do not let you paint the walls.) You might not have a lot of money to spend for decorating or design but you need to do something.

Painting the walls can make a really big difference in a room. Some people favor sponge painting because it looks as if the paint changes the texture in the walls.

However, finding the right paint can create a mood in the room you are looking for that is pleasurable and calming. It can also be bright and upbeat. In a later post we will go into choosing the colors. You can use one color or more that one color.

Please leave your comments, we love to read them. Others can learn from what you say as well.

If You Are On A Budget You Can Still Add Style To Your Home!

Part 3

This is something that you can do with tile that you find that are salvaged, from a close out sale, remnants at a local store, if you have leftovers from other projects.These kinds of things can save you money. This rainbow of tile can be used in the kitchen on a back splash, bathroom. It can be used on the floor, to decorate a wall. you can use any size or color, they can go in any order that you want them in.




(photos from DIY magazine)




If you have something that you are not using any more for the purpose that you got it for. Don't get rid of it, turn it into something that you can use in your home (if it is good condition) like this laundry station. It would brighten any laundry room to have this very useful piece of furniture in it.



















The finished product-look at how beautiful it turned out to be.
What ever you can think of to use in a different manner can be done like this was.












These are some places that you can find things to help you in the style of your home. Places like Lumber liquidator is a great place for flooring for less money. Factory Direct you skip the middle man, so that you get it for a lower cost. Look for close out sales on product that are being discontinued. If you have smaller areas try remnants at most stores ( ask about it, if you can not find it on your own.) Salvage is an other way to find things that you can use. These are things that have been taken out of buildings or homes before they are torn down.

With some of these things you really need to be able to use your imagination and think outside the box.

If you have a small sink area in a bathroom try remnants if you want granite counter tops. If you have an island in the kitchen put granite on it and it will help the rest of the kitchen look high end without the big price tag. Make sure that the rest of the counter tops are not extra cheap when using granite on the island.

Small changes can make a big difference.




If you change the counter tops and paint the cabinets, paint the rest of the room. Then the room looks like it has been redone. At a fraction of the cost. This saves a lot of stuff going to the land fills.


Your home can look wonderful and not cost you an arm and a leg in doing it. Experiment a little see how it turns out. If it turns out good keep working at it a little at a time.

Magazines like Do It Yourself can help you come up with ideas to help you get started. Find photos from other magazines that you like the style of and use the style and go from there.

We would love to hear your success stories. Leave a comments please.
