Using the Color Wheel for Color Decor Ideas
Editable by Any Member
/ edit note


What you can take away from the color wheel is how to develop color schemes for your home around complementary colors. Check out these examples:

PURPLE AND YELLOW
  
These colors look great together because of their location on the wheel, but notice also the other colors these designs pull in: orange, pink and green.

RED AND GREEN
  
Red and green don't have to look like it's Christmas if you use the right hues. On the left, the light green looks great with the orange/red colors, while on the right, the almost sea foam green favors a deeper red.

BLUE AND ORANGE
  
You may notice that the general choice here is to use the deeper blue color for the sofa and to accent it with orange. That doesn't always have to be the case -- using blue accents to complement orange furniture will create a bolder, contemporary look.

Written by olivia on
You use color in all of the other rooms of your house - why wouldn't you use it in the kitchen? Check out these photos for kitchen color inspiration. It might be too boring for some people, but white is simple and contemporary, and it makes the space seem larger than it really is.

I love exposed brick walls in general, and in this case, the ... Read Full Story

Color Decor Ideas for the Living Room

Written by olivia on
Different living spaces call for different colors and design. That being said, don't be afraid to choose something you love and have fun with it! With the right guidelines, you can easily make your living room reflect your needs and personality. In a small space like an apartment, a pale color opens everything up. Bright green is used often these days, so it's very contemporary. Also, it pairs well with neutrals and deep browns. Turquoise looks great with bold jewel tones and a modern design, but this particular shade isn't  ideal for a traditional one. If you're using bright, bold accessories like these orange ...

Color Decor Ideas: Bathroom

Written by olivia on
Check out the picture below to find the perfect color scheme for your bathroom. This multicolored design uses light walls and draws the attention to the shower curtain. The green, turquoise, orange and dark brown are fun and lively enough for a kid's bathroom. The warm, neutral wall color makes a perfect bathroom.

Black and white is a perfect base for colorful accents like wall ... Read Full Story

Bedroom Color Decor Ideas

Written by olivia on
Picking out a color for your bedroom is easy, but knowing what other colors complement the shade isn't always so simple. Check out these pictures for ideas on modern bedroom color schemes that work. Chocolate brown, blue and white or tan is a fool-proof scheme that looks modern and very sophisticated. When using light colors like tan, white and pale blue, throw some reddish-pink accents in. It looks modern and adds so much interest to the space. A honey yellow (not neon) looks fantastic with earthy green tones and natural wood. Wall maps are a great way to tie this scheme together.

How to Design a Bedroom Using Purple and Green
  This royal purple blanket complements the greenish tones in the neutral pillows well, giving an overall natural, earthy feel. The bright, bold purple of the bedding and drapes steals the scene in this room, but the muted green pillows and chair add perfect accents. It's not easy to pull off purple walls, but by keeping the carpet, chair, bed, and window treatments light and neutral, this bedroom succeeds. The green in the quilt adds another dimension to the color scheme. I love the... Read Full Story

Paint Colors: Small Bedrooms
The rumor is that dark colors make a small space seem even smaller. That's true, to an extent -- but that doesn't mean you have to be stuck with basic white walls. Check out these pictures for inspiration. This is an extremely bold look, but notice how the colors are used strategically.
