MYTH 6, 7 , 8 , 9 AND 10 -CORRECTION

Myth 6: Monochromatic colors can’t feel warm and welcoming

Black and white when used together can create a high contrast interior that can often be jarring and uncomfortable. If trying to use monochromatic colors ensure you use them with subtle patterns and without creating a color blocked room of dark walls with dark furniture and only a few hints of white. Consider bringing in subtle neutrals such as tan and gray in small proportions to balance the monochromatic scheme. This will help keep your room complimenting and relaxing.
 

Myth 7: Before you choose colors you have to follow design rules

Trends and designers have conflicting views on following design “rules” when choosing colors in your home. Decide for yourself as to whether the colors you choose make the room feel welcoming and enjoyable to stay in or if it makes guests run the other way! Let your gut and emotions steer your design cues. If you don’t feel you can decide, then consider bringing in a design professional to help find colors that work together and speak to your home lifestyle.

Myth 8: Neutral color palettes are for the unadventurous 

Homeowners often get the misconception that if they can’t choose the right color scheme than settling for neutral colors is unadventurous and lifeless. On the contrary! Neutrals don’t have to just stem from the beige and tan color family! Start with warm gold, rich camel browns, buttery cream colors and greige are a few neutrals that are anything but boring! Use them in conjunction with black, heather gray, and chocolate brown to put a new twist on boring neutral colors.
  

Myth 9: Choosing colors by daylight is more important than evening 

Have you ever noticed many of us go to the home improvement store to buy paint in the daytime? We test out the colors in the day, and we have design consultations only by day? Depending on the layout of your room, daylight and artificial lighting can play a big role in how colors feel to you at different times of the day. Consider painting small paint samples on a wall and observe how the color looks at different times of day before you commit to an entire room.
 

Myth 10: Children’s bedrooms should only be primary kids’ color schemes

Kids’ bedrooms are that one space in the house that the sky is the limit when choosing colors. Primary colors of red, yellow and blue are used in many children’s rooms but we forget that there are hundreds of other colors to choose from! Consider using a color palette of complimenting saturations of their favorite colors throughout the bedding, wall treatments and decor to liven up the usual youth room.
