ABC’s of Fine Design

If you walk into a celebrity home usually they have high end luxury interior design. This type of design involves expense and risk. Sometimes these risk work sometimes they do not. One thing you see in many celebrity homes is color. They are not afraid of it, so why does it seem that everyone else is.

Well, color can take a lot of time to get use to. If you are use to living in a house that is always brown or white and boring, you tend to get use to it. If you slowly start to bring color into your home you will be able to see a major difference in how you look at color. If you look at the colors of interior rooms in celebrity home you may notice that not all the walls are the same color in each room or even the in the same room. I am big on accent walls as they can add that extra pop of color without going too crazy. Again this is something you want to work at, if you want and accent wall my advice to you is to find a color you like or one that brings out a hidden non-neutral color in the room and use that one one wall. Then go from there, start with baby steps and you will soon discover that you like color. If not paint is always the cheapest thing to change in a home.

When painting many people forget that they should use a primer before they start painting. Of course some people know that you should but don’t know why, so they skip it. There are a few reasons you want to use primer. The first one is because if you already have a painted wall you don’t have to scrap off anything, you can prime it and paint over it. If you don’t use primer the paint color you have tried to hide may just start to show through the new color.

The next reason you should use primer is because drywall will absorb most of your paint. This will make it so you have to use more coats and more paint. Primer will prevent this by creating a barrier between the drywall and the paint so that you won’t have to do as many coats and you will use less paint.

Sometimes you walk into a room and you think this is great. I love how I feel looking at this room, I love the color. Color can really make or break a room and your mood. If you don’t like the color in a room you tend to think that it’s dull, boring or sometimes you may even get mad and not even realize that color was to blame!

When you paint you really want to test out the color on one wall before you decide to do the whole room. The last thing you want is to waste good money on paint that you hate and have to redo. Instead you can spend it on those self defense products you have been looking at getting.

I have a great tip for you. If you are having problems finding color combinations you like check out food magazines or make a plate of food up for yourself. If you figure out what food combinations look good to you. You can use those colors to decorate your room with. Now keep in mind you do need to use caution when doing this. Sometimes things look good because you like that type of food, not because the colors are a good match.
