Have you been looking for a colour scheme you won't see in every other house you visit?

Here's a post just for you.
Striving for individuality in your home is an up hill battle as I know from choosing colour scemes for my own home. Six years ago I repainted the first floor of my house at a time when heavy earth colours were popular .
The thought of using dark colours on my walls depressed me because they absorb too much outside light, and I need light to be happy. So I choose a colour scheme that was light and neutral based on creams and grays. I threw current trends to the four winds and created rooms I was happy in. Six years have passed and now my house is trendy!
While I'm very aware of design trends, there's an aspect of my personality that likes to fight them a little. Rather than giving advice to follow the latest colour trends, I feel the most important aspect of my role as an interior decorator is to help clients develop a colour scheme that makes them happy and comfortable. That means keeping an open mind about all colour.
I'm a firm believer that you can use any colour you want in a room if it works with your furniture and the light. It's a matter of finding the value of the colour that works and then expanding the scheme with accents.
You can develop your own style by starting with a colour you love and building on it. If you love yellow and think it is too much on walls, use it as an accent.
If you love pink, use it!
If pristine is more to your taste , go there.
Remember...
"Be faithful to your own taste because nothing you really like is ever out of style." ~Billy Baldwin
