When you just move into a new home it’s a great idea to have a total color plan for your home. You can then paint and decorate room by room but at least you have your color palette determined instead of decorating blindly. This is how I design my virtual color consultations. Everything is clearly labeled.
• Do you have an HOA?
• Do you live in the North? South?
• Do you have a lot of shade on your house?
• Can you paint your brick?
• Will you be selling your home soon?
You better believe it!!! There were times when I walked into someones “gray” home and just felt like … well let’s just say it wasn’t a good feeling. I still don’t understand how people can have gray as the dominant color in their home.
Some people think that gray is still the must have color trend and that it will go with everything so they paint their entire home gray. Well, you just created a depression cavern for your home.
When we first think of coastal colors the lighter hues comes to mind. How about adding some darker colors in the palette for a change? I think it’s time to get bolder with the coastals. What do you think?
So what is Decorating by Donna all about? It’s certainly changed over the years that for sure!
It went from running around High Point Furniture Market trying to find the latest and greatest color trend to really settling down and finding out what people really want or I should say, need for their home as far as color is concerned.
The colors I have here are from Benjamin Moore Color Stories. I’ve always loved the colors in this collection for several reasons.
For one, the names are really spot on – I mean who doesn’t love Butter Cookie? So what does these colors have to do with calming? Let’s find out.
I love designing color for homes that have these beautiful archways. However, when you also have an open floor plan, the one question I always get is, “what color should I paint the archways?”
So you want to hear something cool? As you may know I have two websites, this one and www.AngelHug234.com.
Ever wonder how I combine these two careers? After all, one is designing color for homes and the other is delivering messages from our past loved ones (bet you didn’t know that about me.) How the heck does that work right? I’ll tell you.
I’m going to start tweaking my Color Services. I’ll be posting palettes such as this one and selling them as is.
Over the years I have compiled a list of the colors that have sold the most and will be designing simple color palettes such as this one and selling them for one price of just $50.
