While we may be in the dead of winter, spring and summer will be here before we know it. Well, we at least hope that’s the case. Taking your Christmas decorations down may have made you realize how bare and empty your home is now. Now is a great time to start on those home projects you want to tackle before those warm seasons hit. If you are wanting to do any painting at your Lakefront home at the Lake of the Ozarks, it’s important to have a great color scheme picked out. Mission Bay knows that choosing the right color scheme for your design style and your home can be an overwhelming process. We have some tips for you in this week’s blog.
Finding The Perfect Color Scheme
First off, colors are personal and choosing the perfect color scheme means you have to first establish your personal style and taste. Once that is established, you then have to decide what kind of tone you want to set in your house. We know, it already sounds stressful. When you lay it out, it becomes easier and not as overwhelming.
Tip: Most people think it’s best to start with your paint colors first. But it helps if you pick out your furniture, and décor items and then move onto paint colors. Finding the furniture you need/want will be a harder task. Finding a paint color to match your furniture will be a lot easier than trying to find furniture to match your paint color.
Start With The Room You Use The Most
This room is usually the living room or kitchen, or possibly both if you have an open floor plan. By starting where you spend most of your time and working your way out, can prove to be helpful. Think of it as having a to-do list and tackling the hardest, most challenging task first. Keep in mind, what you choose for your main living spaces will set the tone for the rest of your house.
Tip: when choosing paint or accent colors for your kitchen, keep in mind what is already there. Things like countertop, cabinet, and appliance colors are all important factors.
Colors vs. Neutrals
If you are wanting to pick a bold paint color that pops, it may be best to stick to furniture that is more neutral, both in color and design. If you’re wanting more of a neutral paint color, you may want to add some colorful accessories or décor pieces to add some depth to the room. When it comes to paint colors and decorating, having some contrast is great.
Find Inspiration From Your Closet and Everyday Life
When it comes down to finding colors you love, your closet may be one of the best places to look. You may have a closet that is mainly whites and blacks, or your closet may be full of pops of color. This should be great inspiration for you! Whatever colors you find yourself wearing all the time, are colors that will more than likely inspire you when it comes to your home.
