Color Schemes

For those who've been reluctant to embrace pink, it's time to think again.

Whether it’s for an important event or just to feel ood about yourself, wearing pink—or using it in your home—will reveal your softer side. In fact, if you’re interested in creating a space that encourages openness and conversation, then pink is definitely for you. It doesn’t just enhance natural color and make you look vibrant in the bathroom mirror (although pink powder rooms are proof of that), well-placed pink also can enhance spirituality and decision-making.

Creating the right colour scheme for your room is no easy task. Let our expert guides help you make the right decision.

So you moved into your new, bigger bachelor pad. Congrats. Or maybe you're tired of plain ol' white on your walls and want to make your living space more exciting. Good on you.

choose your colors
Ironically, the hardest part of painting is deciding what to paint your walls with. We all have favorite colors; we just don't know how they'll look on a wall. To start, you have to decide what mood you're aiming for. You may want a room to be cool (blues), warm (yellows and oranges), dramatic (reds), or calming (greens).
