Design Tips:
We suggest that you bring magazine pictures, sample fabrics, pillows or anything else that inspires your decorating style in your home. Get inspired, and have fun!
We also suggest that you consider elements of your lifestyle that are important to you. Do you entertain with friends? Or, do you have two dogs and a cat? These are important lifestyle considerations when you are personalizing your home.
Another important design tip is for you to be clear on your wants vs. needs. This way you can prioritize your choices, and where you spend your money.
When you are personalizing your new home at Choice Studio, chances are you’ll be eager to add a little color to your life. Designers often suggest choosing a monochromatic color palette and setting a mood for each room or area of your home.
The Magic of Monochromatic Palettes
Using different shades of one color provides a coordinated starting point for the entire design process. Monochromatic palettes offer a range of choices. From almost white to more intense, deep shades, these color schemes bring harmony to an entire space.
A monochromatic, neutral palette serves as a versatile backdrop for almost any décor. Choose subdued shades in warm brown or gray tones to add drama. Utilize accessory pieces, like pillows and area rugs, to add accent color to a room.
You can also bring new life to furnishings and accessories by opting for a monochromatic palette in warm, neutral shades or rich coppers, fresh greens or soothing blues. These selections provide a solid foundation, as well as an opportunity for more whimsical accents.
Monochromatic palettes with soft, neutral blue-greens or spa-inspired blues of water and sky are fresh and clean choices. Buttery yellows and warm creams offer a sense of cheerfulness and optimism.
Whatever palette you choose, adding a splash of color helps truly make your new home…feel like home.
Working with Color
One of the most common decisions that a Choice Studio Specialist will help you make is which color palette to use in your new HearthStone Home. Color affects your mood, productivity, and health. We suggest a neutral palette for your home. Unimposing colors offer a timeless backdrop for any patterns and accent colors you want to incorporate in your home. The choice is yours!
Looking to set a special mood with decor? It can be helpful to understand the impact of color and its application. Consider these descriptions and
imagine what you can create.
Red: Traditionally used as an accent color, today more homeowners are applying red on walls. Large amounts of saturated color create a complex space.
Orange: Reserved typically for accents, pastel oranges are cheerful and lively. When the hue is close to peach, it enhances skin tones and is a good color for bathrooms.
Brown: The light values of brown make it good for work or living spaces. Red-browns cause interiors to feel comfortable and informal.
Green: An excellent color for interiors, especially if activities done in the room involve concentration or meditation, as green is known for its relaxing qualities.
Blue: Blue is the most popular and universal color in the palette. It is a unisex color across many cultures. Blue can be soothing or icy depending on the shade selected.
Gray: The color inspires creative people to become more inventive. Gray is a neutral shade and can be either warm or cool. The personality of gray is strictly dependent upon the other colors used in combination with it, as well as the finishes and lighting within a space.
White: Indicating delicacy, refinement and sophistication, cool blue white can produce a harsh space while tinted whites (warm cool) can create a fresh, inviting space. The use of texture and light is critical when creating an all white space. All-white work environments encourage great precision.
Black: Associated with dignity and sophistication, black works as an accent color in residential interiors.
