Color on Us

We loved all the GREAT questions, thank you! Here are a few of our favorites....



1. How do you make a small space, with limited natural light, look larger?

Mirrors are always a great way to enhance light and make any space look larger. Lighting, lighting and more lighting....make sure the space has enough light. If you are working with a high ceiling, "bring the light down to you," with some of the beautiful pendant lighting available. Depending on the space, and ceiling height, recessed cans are an easy way to add light. Never underestimate the power of a lamp.



2. When and where is it okay to use a bold color?

Don't be scared of color! Bold colors make a space look larger (one of the biggest misconceptions I know). The only place I wouldn't use a bolder color would be a bedroom. I believe a bedroom should be ones sanctuary.



3. How do I choose the perfect color?

This is a questions we get a lot. And remember every one's perfect color is different. You need to consider how you use the space, here is a list of questions that may help.



1. Look in your closet, what color do you see most?

2. What color makes you happiest?

3. What color calms you?

4. What color was your favorite bedroom growing up?

5. What color do you never wear?

6. What color was your favorite prom dress?

7. What is your favorite gemstone?

8. Do you love nature? What stands out to you?

9. What is your favorite flower?

10. What color is your china?

11. What color would you like to be fearless enough to use?



Review these, and I bet you will realize a common thread in the answers. You want your home to be a reflection of who you are. Don't be afraid to introduce color on the walls - in your home.



We love hearing from you!
