Perhaps some of you grow tired of all those fancy colored house/ home appliances. If that’s the case, why don’t you try the monochrome styling? Of course, this should not be translated directly as using solely one color in your house. NO, as it would be dull, plain, and not interesting. Monochrome is better translated as having one color as the main theme and then accentuated with couple of other colors.

Although you are free to start with any color, it is recommended that you use bright colors rather than dark ones. The reason is the overall mood generated by these colors and those bright colors then to ‘lighten’ up the house, perfect for smaller house. Basic colors such as broken white, peach, or light brown could be a safe start.

As it is said earlier, once you set up the main color theme, continue to accentuate with couple of other colors. These colors could be provided from the wall decoration, tiles, furniture, wall paper, pillow cover, or paintings. Another element that you can play with is the lighting, whether it is from the electrical lights or from the blind/ window cover.

You should not be afraid in mixing colors from other elements in your house. However, do keep the colors to be in line with the main color theme. Again, having a bright color will make it easier for you to mix n match with other colors. Yet, do not get too many colors in. You will not want people to mistakenly think that you have a paint mixing facility inside your house, right? Consult your spouse, interior designer, or architect for this.

Other resources that you can also treasure are of course the internet. Also you can have simple software like Google’s sketch up to quick draw some color options that you have in mind. Thus, you will be able to make a final judgment on the looks, before you bring it into the reality. The rule here is to start with what you like first and go from there. Ask your spouse of best friends to come up with their ideas too, who knows you might hear something that you can use. Happy trying!
