THE POWER OF COLOR

Color can dramatically alter any space within a home. The possibilities made available to us by modern paints are almost limitless, and traditional and modern homes alike can be transformed through the clever use of color. Color not only affects mood it can also play with perspective and the scale of a room. Make a small space seem larger by using soft pale grays, ivory and whites can instantly refresh a tired room, giving a clean look and creating a bright, spacious atmosphere. To make that large space a little cozier – bring in rich colors, such as deep burgundy or emerald green will have an intense effect, creating a more intimate feeling. Paint the trim or ceiling for a luminous effect.

If you are painting two or more spaces that open from one to another use the same color or slightly lighter or darker shade of the same color. Otherwise, the overall area may look disconnected.
