Deciding that you want to redecorate your home or decorate a new home from
scratch is one thing—actually figuring out how to do it is another. This is especially true
when it comes to choosing a color scheme.
The benefit to familiarizing yourself with color schemes instead of just what colors work
together is that once you start to learn about the intent behind color arrangements you
also start to learn how to identify colors that work well together on your own. The more
you understand about how colors relate to each other, the better you’ll be at tackling
that aforementioned (and oh-so-overwhelming) wall of paint swatches.
For most of the color schemes above, you’ll want to have a color wheel handy as you
decide on your palette. Using these principles—and the wheel itself—will take the
guesswork out of how you use color in your space, and should result in a stunning,
harmonious home that you love to be in.
