White Color Safety

Many believe white is the safest choice, yet it can appear stark and cold. Instead, explore warmer off-whites for a comforting and inviting atmosphere in your designs with colors


Color theory can seem overwhelming. Understanding basic principles simplifies color selection. With practice and confidence, navigating color combinations becomes an enjoyable and rewarding part of the design process.


Bold Risks

The misconception that bold colors equal risks can stifle creativity. Thoughtfully applied, bold hues can energize a space and reflect personality without overwhelming the environment.

Right Answers

The belief that there are only "right" colors can limit expression. Embrace the uniqueness of each space, allowing personal preference and context to guide your color selections.

Comfort Zones

Sticking to familiar colors feels secure, yet it can lead to uninspired spaces. Experimenting with unexpected palettes invites creativity and transformation, revealing new dimensions in design.

Separate Choices

Color and material choices should not be viewed in isolation. Harmonizing textures with colors enhances the overall aesthetic, creating a cohesive design that feels intentional and unified.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid

Wrong Light

Selecting colors under artificial light can misrepresent their true hue. Always test paint samples in the daylight to ensure accurate color representation and avoid future disappointments.

Forgetting Color Changes

Colors can drastically alter from day to night due to changing light. Always observe how colors shift throughout the day to ensure your choices remain appealing at all times.

Ignoring Undertones

Neglecting color undertones can lead to mismatched palettes. Pay attention to warm and cool undertones in both colors and materials for harmonious combinations that elevate your designs.

Matching Everything

Overly matching colors and materials can create a lifeless space. Instead, embrace subtle contrasts and variations to build depth and character in your interior design.
