1

Choose one color then incorporate different tones, shades and tints of the same color to add depth to the design. This color scheme will also make a room appear larger.



2

Inject lively personality into a kitchen with brilliant pops of color. A colorful chandelier, window treatments and well-placed accessories add pockets of pizazz to a limited palette.

 

3

Think texture. Add layers of rugs, window treatments and other textiles—an orchestra of texture keeps the space from feeling flat.
