Live loudly, in color.

Create balance with a neutral palette as your foundation and then add in elements of style, tones and textures. The simplest method of determining a color scheme is to use a color wheel. Monochromatic palettes are the shades and tints of a single base hue. Everything will be the same color, but you will have dimension due to the variation of tones you use. Go bolder by using complimentary and analogous colors in your décor. Go with whatever makes the space you’re in, make you feel good about being in it.
