Decorating Tip #4 - Let Nature Be Your Guide

Look outside at the view around you. Kind of dark to light, dark colors on the ground: brown, black, some deep red, dark green, then medium colors: trees, mountains, buildings, then light colors: blue sky, white/grey clouds, and yellows at sunset. Nature is showing the way. What she is saying is balance the weight. Dark colors give a room weight, light colors seem to it float away. Balance from top to bottom and side to side. Try this: weighty or dark colors to ground the room, medium colors in some of the furniture, lamps, accent pieces, and lighter colors to finish to the ceiling.

Our kitchens and dining rooms section has some pretty good examples of this. Check out Ana’s “chicken” fabric for her kitchen/dining area. Here is a sample:
