Color Schemes: When you are choosing a color scheme, consider the purpose of each room and how much it is used. For example, do you have a busy living room with a lot of activity in a small space? If so, lots of strong colors may add to the confusion. Instead, plan color schemes that provide a fairly simple, neutral background. Perhaps you have a clinical-looking Bathroom that could benefit from a lively color treatment, or a room that needs to serve more than one function at different times of the day.
Egin by listing the main colors, tones, patterns, and ires you are considering for each room. Draw a rough of the rooms involved and mark the existing features do not intend to change. Make several copies, and color ifferent decorative schemes and color combinations, ch samples of the wallcoverings and fabrics for both the and the existing ones.
ALTHOUGH THE PERCEPTION of color and taste is a personal and subjective matter, there are basic guidelines that can help you plan the color schemes of your garden.
The theory behind color combinations, both harmonies and contrasts, can be most readily understood by visualizing a chart known as the color wheel. This is based on the colors of the spectrum and consists of the primary colors red, blue and yellow, separated by the secondary, blended colors violet, green and orange. Colors adjacent to each other on the wheel, such as yellow and orange or blue and green, are generally considered to go well together—in other words they harmonize. |
