How To Choose Your Indoor/Outdoor Colour Scheme
Filed under Gardening Services
The perfect indoor/outdoor room requires the right color scheme. But how do pick the paint to bring your indoor/outdoor vision to life?
Consider these top 6 tips to create a seamless space:
1 Create color cohesion
One common mistake is to treat the indoor and outdoor spaces as two distinct areas. But the trick to creating the illusion of a seamless space is to unite the two; and paint is an easy way to do it.
A consistent colour palette also portrays a polished property, which goes a long way when you want to sell it. Colour can embed in buyers? memories and entice them back for a second viewing.
2 Start with neutrals
Since you'll take the color scheme from indoors to out, a neutral palette works best. A subtle hue creates cohesion and a blank canvas upon which to build. Prospective buyers will also be able to work with a neutral palette far easier than a multi-colored mishmash.
3. Adopt an accent or two
Next, select two accent colors that complement the overarching neutral hue. For instance, you could pair purple and blue with a mushroom neutral, adding accent hints throughout the abode.
4 Accessorize in accents
Build on the color scheme by introducing accessories in the accent colors. For instance, you could add blue and purple throws, rugs, frames and cushions to couches and dining settings in your indoor and outdoor living spaces.
5 Add an element of surprise
Make a space pop by adding a bright and bold feature. It could be a colorful kitchen splashback, colorful mirror in the master bedroom, or majestic mosaic tiles out on the deck or swimming pool. Just be careful not to go too wild with color!
6 Stick to a budget
A top tip from the experts is to steer clear of expensive furniture pieces in accent colors. Instead, choose neutrals for larger pieces and introduce your accent colors through small, inexpensive items. They?re easier to replace if you grow bored with the color scheme, and neutral pieces will work with almost any color palette.
