The most important thing to bear in mind is to use the SAME two to three accent colors
throughout each of your main living spaces!
Another option is to use variations of one accent color as you move from room to room. For
example, use various hues of blue as your accent color (e.g., blue gray, navy blue, sky blue,
etc.)
Also, think about the areas (rooms) that you love the most in your home or apartment.
Consider why you love them, and then think through each of the following: The overall
“feeling” of the space, its layout, color scheme, furniture Style and the overall decor.
The next step should be to focus on multiplying those elements in other areas of your home.
Always practice repetition! Within a room, intentionally repeat an element at least three
times. For example, if you have blue throw pillows on the sofa, find an accessory with the
same or similar blue color and place it anywhere else in the room. Use this approach in a
minimum of three different places withing each room. If it’s a color that you really love, then
you may repeat it even more often.
Remember, once is random, twice is a coincidence, and three times make it a pattern. You
can use this trick to reinforce an accent color, pattern, texture, or shape throughout a room.
This should provide a solid to remember in design you undertake!
