Have you ever thought about getting your room color inspiration from your closet? Think about it. You already have the perfect pairing of color and combinations. If you wear it, chances are you may love how it looks in your room. Look at the prints and fabrics you are drawn to while clothes shopping and try visualizing some of those same colors for your paint, fabrics, pillows and rug choices. Other areas to get inspired by could be the colors of the seasons, for example, with all of the spring things in bloom right now, What are you drawn to? Are you drawn to a specific group of colors? Does the yellow of daffodils make you smile? Choose it for a paint or accent color in a room. How about a picture or a piece of art you can't resist. Look at all of the colors in those things and find a few to use in your room. I do this often when asked to choose paint for clients. I wander their room grabbing pictures or pillows and sometimes even an area rug and then pull out the paint samples or fabrics to begin the selections. This is very effective in finding the right combination of colors for that perspective client because they already like the piece we are using as the inspiration.
You can be inspired to find just the right colors for your home in so many different ways. These are a few that have been tried and true for me and my hope is these ideas will inspire you help get you started surrounding yourself with the color and the things you love.
