Connect the Rooms of Las Vegas Homes with Color
If the colors of Las Vegas homes
do not blend well together, then you might have a
missing link that will unify your living space and make even the smallest room
look harmonious.
When doing redecorations, your goal is to create
a flow from room to room that unifies the whole. These tips for working with
color should help you get the job done.
Apply a color
thread - Provide each room its own personality while making certain a
cohesive feeling by using a single hue as a theme that runs all the way
through. You can use this unifying color in the woodwork of each room like the
baseboards, door and window frames and ceiling molding or as a recurring color
in the furniture and accessories in each room. You may want to limit your
palette by using the same two or three colors in different shades and
intensities all over Las Vegas homes.
Crosslink with
color - In neighboring areas,
such as the kitchen and family room, you can unite the appearance even when
painting them different colors by using the same trim color throughout and/or
by bringing touches of each area’s color into the other. You can further
connect them by using flooring or area rugs that include both colors in each
room.
Unify with
white trim - Painting all of the trim
the same shade of white is a sure way to create a sense of flow. Note that
there are many shades of white. A sour cream white is one hue that contrasts
crisply with bold colors while matching with softer ones.
Use a limited
palette - Open floor plans maximize
the feeling of space without escalating square footage, but you can give each
space its own personality by choosing delicate colors that work well together.
Limit your use of color to two or three and use them in different amounts in
each room.
Experiment with
light - Light changes the look of
any color. The same can of paint applied to two rooms of Las Vegas homes
will look differently depending on how much natural
light comes into each room. To achieve a feeling of connection, choose two
closely related shades of the same color and apply the lighter one to the
sunnier space. This works well for L-shaped rooms, where one area is brighter
than the other.
