The
colour wheel allows you to see how all the colours in the spectrum
work together, complementary colours are found opposite one another
while harmonious colours sit side by side |
| Choosing
colours - which colours naturally appeal to you? - which colours make you feel relaxed? - how much natural light does the room get? - do you want to make the space feel enclosing or open? |

Colour
Families There are various ways of grouping colours, some based on colour theory, others on aesthetics. It's useful to look at the groups and identify the ones to which you are drawn. You might decide to decorate all the rooms in your home with colours from the same family, to give a coherent look, or you may pick and choose from several according to the way in which the room will be used. For example, you might opt for cool, restful pastels in your bedroom or primaries for a child's playroom. |
