Spring is finally here and all you want to do is get a fresh start on the house. You’ve finished spring cleaning and realize you need a change of pace. I have been feeling the same way. But how do you pick colors for your interiors? Usually I hit up the local paint store and stare at swatches until I can’t tell one from the other. This year I’m getting inspired. My hubby and I agreed on muted tones, specifically a cream color, this way the walls wouldn’t feel like they needed a change so quickly every year. But how do you know which cream to go with? Are we talking about the same cream? The cream I have in mind has a tint of brown in it like a cup of coffee. Maybe the color he has in mind is a cream with a tint of orange in it like a soft sorbet. Or maybe it’s a cream color with a tint of yellow ochre in it much like a rich butter-cream frosting.
So, I’ve come up with a solution! Most likely you already own something with that color. Which is even better because then you are automatically matching room decor items to your wall palette. I walked around the apartment and took photos of items that included colors I liked for ideas on a new palette. But, maybe you don’t own anything colorful…well, get out of the house and window shop, you can even take pictures with your phone. If you really like a color buy a small item with that color on it! Here’s what I found today.
