Color Mistakes to Avoid

Planning on sprucing up a room in your house? Here are a few color mistakes to avoid when redoing that special room!

 Don't Forget the 60-30-10
Follow the color principal of 60-30-10 to create an aesthetically pleasing color scheme. Divide your color choices into percentages: 60 percent is a dominant color, 30 percent is a secondary color and 10 percent is the accent color. 

Don't Ignore Your Lighting 

 Always consider how lighting will affect your color choices. Before finalizing your selections, see how each color will look in the room during different times of the day. 

Don't Think Neutral Means Beige

While beige is a neutral, shades of your favorite colors can also act as neutrals in your room. A neutral just needs to be a balance of warm and cool tones, like the shade of red used in this living room.

Don't be Too Gender Specific

Pink isn't just for girls and blue for boys any more. Bring shades that are usually marked for gender specific rooms into the living areas of your home.
