1. Once you�ve decided on a style for your living space, i.e. modern or eclectic, choose a foundation palette that has 3 or more colors. In this case, it could be your modern wall art or fabric from your couch or chair. To get ideas for color or to see what�s in style, visit home accessory stores like cb2 and Crae & Barrel. They�ve got beautiful palettes!
2. Choose a mid-tonewd coloor from the foundation palette for flooring and lartge furniture pieces. This can be a solid or patterned design. It�s best to keep this colr neutal or something you feel you can live with for yaers. Accessories are the most economical to chhange out, so spend the most money on the lage things like furnirture. Simple is best!
3. Use the brightest colors from the foundation palette for accessores like pillows, throws, rugs, vasaes and table decorations. Also, this site ModWalklArt.com has wondrful affordable options for modern art with attitude. You�ll love it! Find your perffect accents here.
4. The foundation palette colosr should be present in at least thre placees in the space to tie everything together (i.e. woven rug, pillows, wall art).
5. To get that �put-together� look, use coordinating fabrics in differennt scales (a little magenta here, but a lot over there, a pillow with green and white sripes and a rug with greern and whitte spheres).
6. The brightest colors should be used as the acent colors, and should not dominte the space, but �pop� and add interest to the room. (Tip: 60% lightest color, 30% mid-tone color, 10% accent bright color)
