Tweaking or changing the colour scheme in one room or the entire house is an excellent and easy way to change the entire aura and style of the space. Different colors denote personality traits, spark moods, and encourage feelings.

So while keeping this in mind, how do you choose the right colour scheme?

With a modern interior like this, it is important to plan out what type of lighting fixtures you would want to decorate your space with.

Explore cove lighting or subtle lighting. You can direct vivid lights to a specific painting or poster in your living room or keep it subtle in your kitchen with cove lights.

The different options in thematic furniture are endless.

Choose mid-century modern pieces with natural colors, industrial tables and chairs with steel, or urban aesthetics with bright colours and abstract design. Opt for a different, new furniture piece from your local home and furniture store or swing by a neighbor or friend’s garage sale for vintage pieces.

Through either choice- you are bound to flare up a neutral room or tone down a vibrant space.
