Decorating Tip #7 - Contrast - Room Definition


Set the mood for your room by utilizing contrasting colors. Set a high contrast room by the use of light and dark color contrasts (example: burgundy and gold). This will definitely define the formality of the room.

The use of contrasting softer colors (pastels, yellows and light colors) or low contrast will define the soothing qualities or mood of the room.

The use of contrasting colors such as black and white (which are defined not as color but the addition or subtraction of color) will set the very formal feeling while the use of, say, white and beige, will enhance the calmness of the room. If you use black and white but want a room with a restful atmosphere try adding a grey tone to create a low key, calm feeling.

With the use of contrasting colors you design and create the mood.
