Color is so very transformational. It has the ability to drastically change not only the look of a space but more importantly, color transforms how we feel in a space. When we allow ourselves to be creative and incorporate color into different aspects of our lives, it undoubtedly has a resounding positive impact on us. Color creates a mood, it creates a feeling, it creates visual interest, all of which are crucial when decorating a space. Take a moment and look around, do you see repeating colors that are being used throughout your home? You may not have even consciously realized it until you looked. Think about the colors you’re seeing, what makes you feel drawn to them? How do those colors make you feel? Home is our sanctuary, that’s why it’s the perfect place to create spaces that make us feel relaxed, fuel our creativity and simply put, make us feel happy. There isn’t a one size fits all category when it comes to color, there’s a vast array of options, pretty much disguise the limit so to speak. With so many different hues and tones to choose from, creating a unique and personalized look and feel to a space is without a doubt absolutely attainable. Whether you choose a relaxed and subdued look with colors that compliment each other or a contrasting look with bright and bold colors, the effect that designing with color has on each of us is pretty remarkable. Color allows us the outlet to create spaces that are meaningful and unique to each of us. Forget the so called “rules,” toss them to the side, trust your instincts, go with what makes you feel happy. Remember a house only becomes a home when we make it feel that way. It starts with us, and our ability to articulate not through words but through the power of color!
