[quote=Anonymous]Get a color palette and stick to it. All of the shades in your main areas should compliment each other, in that you can pick a piece or accessory from any room, move it to another room and it won't look out of place. For example, I use autumn colors: wine, golds, greens and oranges for accents and neutrals. tans, oatmeal and dull green, for bases and permanent pieces. All my wood is dark. My furniture style is similar from room to room (classic with varying degrees of formality and casualness) Everything goes together and every time we move (military) I can move pieces from one room to the next without problem. A good friend of mine has the same main colors, but hers greens, golds and wine are deeper and more intense. Her house looks spectacular. Another friend does wintery shades: icy blue, dark browns, creams and whites with espresso wood. Everything flows and looks simply beautiful. Edit your photographs. Frame them well and don't go overboard with too many or too different style of frames. Keep your big expensive pieces neutral and save your burst of colors for accent pieces and textiles. If your colors flow and don't clash, it goes a long way to making your house put together.[/quote]
