[C831]Colour Schemes For Bedrooms
by Sreelekha N, Sre
Well, choosing a proper colour and wearing it over at the accurate place is not every persons cup of tea. Thus, here we have come up with some helpful tips which can be useful for everyone to choose the right colour and make the house look more appealing.....
TIPS:
1) Firstly, you should have the theme in mind such as the Indian traditional, English countryside, Techo, modern, American and so on...going along with the formal/casual style.
2) Having in mind the style and theme, you should decide on a root or anchor fabric that has three or more colours.
3) Use the background colours from the fabric as a wall colour.
4) It would be preferable to use a mid-toned colour from the fabric for flooring and larger furniture feices, which could a patterned or a solid design. Upholstery can be done by using a coordinating fabric or also in your own anchor fabric. Fix the anchor fabric in at least these places in the room. ( Pillows, curtains, upholstery..)
5) The decorative pillows, welting, picture mats and the accessories can be graced by using the brightest colours from the colours.
6) Coordinating fabrics can also be used in the other scales like the chairs, cording, tablecloth and so on..
7) If you want to use the American Flag as the design then you can use it in this way.....White (background colour ) for walls, a mid toned navy blue colour (on the floor), blue and white brisking on the sofa and the brightest red for accessories and accents. This can also be continued by the blue and white ticking strips as the coordinating prints ,a navy star print fabric and a red and white mini check used on chairs,pillows and the curtains. Return the colours evenly throughout the room, adding dressy details like cording is one way to distribute colour and add interest. Divide the colour by using 60% of the lightest shade in the background of the room,30% in the mid tone colour,and 10% in the brightest, accent colours. Get the look right at the first instance Choosing the right paint for your house can be a challenging task for decorating your house. Afterall its the chosen colour which is going to make your house look more toned. Usually people feel that choosing a colour is not a very difficult task as there are various colours in the market. But in real if you go in the market to look out for the colours you will be left confused and blank by the end of the day. Thus, we will be guiding you some more for making this task easier for you. Have patience: While planning a room always be patient as painting is the most versatile element for your room decor, the easiest to change and also the least expensive. Collect paint chips from allover, try getting ideas from wherever possible. But, make the decision only when the rugs, wallpapers and the fabrics have been finalized. Take your samples along: Whenever you go out for shopping always make it a point that you carry the trim samples of the tiles, fabric, carpet tile, wallpaper as you wil need to refer them frequently. You never know of where you can find something really wonderful and exotic, so be sure that you carry everything along. Read the colours: Look at all the colours carefully, even if you are not using the darker tone, because you will find clues about the underlying tones of different shades of the colour on a full sample strip of coordinated colours. You can actually use a brilliant shade for yourself. Basic colour selection: Try using a deeper or brighter tones of the print for accents throughout the room, if you have selected a print fabric and might wish to select the coordinating wall paint from the background of the print. Trimming it: If your strong enough then go for the really striking look by trying the lighter coloured walls and dark tones or bright colours for all your trimmings, or else you can consider the palest shade of colours for your moldings, doors and windows to coordinate with the walls. Choose the right finish: Matt finishes hide imperfections, glossy finishes reflect more light, but they tend to blow up imperfections on the walls, Thus at the end of all decide which paint would be the best for your project. Thus by considering these things you can choose a right colour for your house that catches everyone's eye & captivates your heart for making your home sweet home a wonderful abode to stay in.


Paint manufacturers introduced miniature paint sample pots some years ago as well as the opportunity to mix paint colours to your requirements as a way to help reduce ‘disasters' for the average DIY person.

The same principles can also be applied when choosing fabrics for window treatments are soft furnishings. Many high street and online retailers will supply swatches of fabrics to help you get exactly what you want.

Another great advantage of asking for swatches is that you will also be able to see and feel the quality of the fabric being offered. This can potentially save you time and more importantly money!

Colour charts are also available for paints and are a good starting point to finding the colour you require, after making a decision the next step is to try the sample pots and actually paint the colour onto your wall. Allow it to dry and revisit to look at the colour at different times during the day and evening. The colour will no doubt alter as light enters the room at different strengths, watch out for shadow casting and see whether you still like the colour!

Again similar principles should be applied with fabric samples for windows. You should give serious consideration to having any curtain lined as this will not only help them to hang properly the lining will also reduce fading and reduce the amount of light coming through them. Sheer fabrics such as voile and faux silk can also be lined to achieve a delicate look which is less transparent.

Colour can transform your home into light and airy places or deeply sensuous and opulent grandeur! Deep rich colours are ideal for larger sized rooms, however should be used sparingly to help prevent the room being turned into a dull and dingy ‘hole'.

Paler tones are great for giving the illusion of more space and are therefore ideal for small rooms.

Many people are unaware that colour can also influence your moods and many believe that inappropriate colours can make you feel ill! Of course, those who follow Feng Shui will be all to aware of the importance of colour to create peace, harmony and positive energies.

The latest colour trends included tones of yellow and lavender. Both of these colours can be used in combination with a wide palette of contrasting colours as well as white. Try coordinating lime green with lavender for a chic and stylish look which offers a crisp, clean look to a room or zesty yellow with lime green for a refreshing light and airy feel in kitchens and bathrooms.

Ooze opulence and sophistication with deep shades of purple coordinated with silver or gold. Team with soft furnishing with faux crystals chandelier and beaded bedside table lamps in either lilac, clear or copper for a regal and majestic look in master bedrooms.
