There is one of the most exciting ways to transform a room : change the color. When people start to picking a color scheme it can be a daunting experience. They feel worry that they may pick the wrong color and need to start the decorating project all over again.

The starting point for many people for a color scheme is likely to come from something you already own such as a sofa and rug or perhaps a favorite painting.

Color is everywhere and we only need to look to nature as a source of inspiration. The visually appealing organic hues of nature are currently a very popular color trend. Think of the brilliant color hues of a sunset or sunrise, the colors of grass, the rainbow, flowers, sea, cloud and deserts. These colors all provide a color palette ready for use in your own decorating schemes. Different colors take a different impact depend on the characteristics of your space. Views outside the home often have an influence on the way a room appears. As an example, if you live by the sea decorating with sandy pale tones or pale blues and greens creates an expansive feeling of merging with the colors outside the room.
