Create a Master Color Palette
I like to help my clients create a master color palette for their home. This creates a pleasing flow as you move from one space to another within your home. By repeating one or more colors, such as warm tan walls and creamy white trim, you create a unified cohesive feeling. Accent colors can vary from room to room, and wall colors can deepen or lighten up in several rooms. Of course you can change the wall colors entirely too, but remember to keep your trim consistent as a unifying element.
You can draw color inspiration from a favorite area rug or fabric, or perhaps a painting you love. Remember to consider the natural and artificial light too, as these will change the appearance of any hue.
Remember to keep records of the colors you use to make touch ups easy!
