House painting and wallpaper
Color trends in home decorating especially house and wallpaper colors and in blinds and moldings are becoming bolder all the time. Contrast in window fashions is the common trend. This is where you need to concentrate and pick your colors for your walls or wallpaper first and then the blinds and window coverings.
Mixing black with white is a very bold and exciting choice. For the home, we see the black and white in tile, floors and in the foyer or the bathroom. Now you see that color combination in fabrics, wallpaper, and in accessories. Black and white are hot as well as bold black and white graphics. Having a white blind with a contrasted black shade or moldings can be very striking. When you mix touches of black in a colorful room, that black color is what your eyes will glance at. It becomes the transition color.
Red is another bold color when decorating a room. It ranges from a fuchsia to raspberry, from pink to lacquer-red or rose to cherry-red. It's perceived as a warm color. Many fine dining rooms are painted red because it creates warmth and a good feeling effect. Lighten the red to the deep pink and you might also love soft yellow, mixed with that pink and green.
Orange is also a popular color and can be a soft peach, ripe mango, tangerine, salmon or coral. You will find these colors in many prints from traditional to contemporary to tropical. Because orange is such a saturated color, many of you will be more comfortable using it in small doses because our eyes tire of that color first. We tend to balance this color with wood furniture and neutral earth tone colors. Color like terra cotta, sage green and creams are also nice and go well with the orange colors.
