Previously I suggested that you paint your walls in your favorite color (see March 5 post). But if your favorite color happens to be somewhat intense, say … orange, purple, hot pink … then it’s probably not the ideal color for your walls. So where do you look for inspiration? How about an area rug or a piece of artwork already in the room?
If the rug or artwork has several colors, then choose the color that appeals to you most strongly and use this as your paint color. Using the same color on the walls gives the room a cohesive appearance. To decorate further, choose accessories in another color taken from the rug/artwork. In the bedroom, the colors in your comforter can be your inspiration colors.
