The most important aspect of changing your rooms, again, is color. Today, I suggest you look in every room of your house and see if you see a pattern. For instance: many items are the same color., design, and texture. Pottery, porcelain or glass, all have a like composition. If you display a lot of brass, silver, pewter or any metals, again a likeness. Usually a person has a reason they have this particular collection, (1) they bought it because they liked it, (2) it was a gift that must be on display, (3) a friend or family member made it for them, and (4) it was handed down in the family. There really are no other reasons to have an item. Now, lets's look at the predominant colors. If you have metals such as bronze or brass, these are considered warm colors. Silver or chrome are considered cool colors. We must look at the previous article on the color wheel, and look at our warm and cool colors, do they match your scheme? Dark wood is warm, while light wood and white are considered cool. Darks and lights are considered neutrals.
Now you should have a conception of your favorite home colors and what you like. Warm vs. cool and your predominant color. We can warm up cool, and cool down warm. Here is a painting, that shows cool, silver with warm colors.
Original watercolor by: Nancy Sadowski
Here yellow and orange in the pears was added for warmth to the silver. You can choose any warm color to a cool color and make it warmer.
