Adding Color To Your Home, Window Treatments Peoria, Glendale AZ

Color can set the mood of a room, evoking happiness or peacefulness. Color should reflect the people who live inside a home and the purpose of each room. Creating the atmosphere you prefer requires the right color selection and using the colors wisely in your home. Offering interior design services to the Phoenix area, the design professionals at Altra Home Decor can help you make your favorite colors work beautifully in any room.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

Bright and Bold. Bright colors and bold patterns are very popular right now. If you want to use a bright and bold color or pattern, use it for one main surface area, as a primary focal point in your room. For example, use a bold wallpaper pattern on one wall or a brightly colored kitchen backsplash. You can emphasize this main color with complementary colors on your window treatments and furniture.
Pseudo-neutrals. If you’re not quite ready for bold and bright, but you don’t want to go neutral either, consider “pseudo-neutrals” such as blue-gray or earthy olive tones. Gray is also a great way to add brightness to a room without going too bold. From silvery tints to deep smoky shades, gray colors and patterns can create a beautiful decor.
Timeless Elegance with Neutrals. The classic serenity of neutral color palettes offer timeless elegance. The spectrum of warm neutrals ranges from linen and ivory tones to the richest sable and chocolate shades.
Natural Textures and Elements. Natural woven wood patterns for window treatments add both color and texture to your windows. Other natural elements can also bring the calmness of nature to your rooms, such as textures replicating shells, sand, plants, and crystal.
Let Fabric be your Guide. Custom made drapery, pillows, and window toppers can lead you to a primary color scheme or be focal points in and of themselves. Striped drapes, checkerboard valances, or bright art panels can direct the eye to your room’s favorite features.
Add Stand out Pieces. For great visual interest, build a subtle color scheme around a standout piece of furniture or art. To keep costs down, shop thrift stores for unique pieces of art. You can also customize upholstery to change a drab piece of furniture into a focal point of a room.
Intense Color Schemes. Another aspect of color in interior design is saturation, or intensity. An intense color scheme can make a lasting impression. Choose highly saturated color carefully and be sure to keep it balanced.
