Look on the
Bright Side
Decorating with Bold Colors
Oversized Art / Wallpaper / Accent Pieces
To use color boldly can be a challenge. Many people end up picking the
wrong color for the wall (probably because of the small paint chips we
use to pick our colors), and then we wonder why we aren't happy with
the result. One option to avoid this conundrum may be to cover the wall
with bold oversized art. Sure it is jumping in with both feet—but why not?
If attempting a bold color, pattern or art piece for you wall consider a
few pointers.
First, color theory is really a science—there are many different looks or
tones a color can create. For example, some colors are very soft; think
pastels, colors that are mixed with tons of white paint to get a lighter,
softer color. Some colors are dark, rich jewel tones and others are bright,
juvenile primary colors. If choosing an art piece for an entry way think of
the items that will compliment it —contrasting lamps, table top displays
or monochromatic flower arrangements.
