Ready to add some color to your home but you don’t know how? Here’s a few tips on color theory to ensure the colors you choose reflect your style and convey just the right mood in your space.

• Choose Colors of Equal Intensity
  You can mix reds, oranges and yellow’s together easily when the colors are of equal intensity (that means how vibrant they are.) Try poppy, tangerine and marigold! If you want some color but are afraid it will overwhelm or dominate your room, try a more muted shade.
• Consult the Color Wheel
  Not sure if the colors go together? Look at a color wheel. Shades that are analogous (side by side on the color wheel), are pretty much foolproof together. Ie) Navy, teal and lime green. Want the look to really stand out, complimentary colors (those that are opposite each other on the color wheel) make each color more vibrant. Ie.) Yellow and purple.
• Primary Colors Pop
  Remember in grade school when you learned that red, yellow and blue are primary colors? Use them together for a striking look, just make sure not to use them all equally. Choose the 2 you like the best and use them the most. Allow the 3rd color to be just in accents.
• Colors have Weight
  Colors carry visual weight. Try using 2 parts of 1 color in combination with 1 part of another instead of using half of each for a dynamic look. Ie.) true blue and yellow mustard
