Color might be one of the most simple aspects of aesthetics, however it is one of the most important. As a result, it is the meat and drink of interior designers, as well as anyone who cares about the look of the inside of their home. Color can drastically alter the personality of a room, and it determine how a room feels, whether it excites or relaxes, intrigues or bores. Sadly, there’s no right or wrong way to color a room, or at least all rooms are so different that what works in one may not work in an another.
Color matching is definitely an important skill. This is where one color is matched with another. Some colors work really well together, such as black and white, red and cream. Again, the size, shape and atmosphere of your home may give you a clue as to what colors are likely to work the best, as well as your aims in terms of achieving a specific flavor of interior design.
Color can be introduced in myriad ways. On the one hand, it can be painted into a room. This is just the tip of the ice-berg, and everything from wall paper to curtains can affect the color-way of an interior. Made to measure curtains especially can be a fabulous way to inject a splash of color into a room, either as a way to color match or simply as a contrast with the pervading decor.
