A Little bit more - by Nancy Sadowski

In todays design, much if it, depends on you. 

The warm colors are not used in large degrees, so you will be safe combining warm with whatever scheme you've chosen.  Use warm with a complementary scheme, the choices are numerous.  Warm colors tend to make a room appear smaller if used in a large degree.  However, using warm colors in a soft  hue, you can add brightness to a room.

Cool colors on the other hand, give a feeling of spaciousness to a room.  The lighter the color, the larger the area looks.  In a very bright room (lots of natural light), use bright cool colors.  While white is considered a color, it looses all of it's power in the absence of other colors.

In the spectrum of color, we really have no ugly colors, we just have ugly color combinations.

Tips:  Or bits:

If your room has high ceilings and you want them to look lower, paint the ceiling a darker color than you paint your walls.

For more interest, use paint in unusual places, such as: paint the inside of bookcases a different color, paint a piece of furniture, paint picture frames all the same color ( or buy ones all the same  color ), or paint woodwork a unique color.

Get your anchor color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
