Accent Colors

Adding accent colors to a room sounds easy – toss in a few pillows, add a vase, hang some art, and call it a day.

Except the colors you love don’t always love your room back. The right accent colors need to work with your fixed, bossy finishes, furnishings, paint colors, wood tones, and other finishes, without looking random, overdone, or like you tried a little too hard.

And then there’s the other big question…where the heck do you PUT these accent colors?

Using REAL HOME examples, you’ll learn how to choose accent colors that actually make sense for YOUR home – and how to use them so your rooms feel more colorful, coordinated, and pulled-together.

In this guide you’ll learn how to…

• Choose accent colors that go with your room
• Find your inspiration piece and work with it
• Figure out which types of colors and color families best suit you and your home
• Know where to use accent colors
• Create repetition and connection so your accent palette feels intentional, rather than accidental.
• Avoid choosing colors that don’t suit your home and its finishes

This isn’t about following the ‘Color of the Year’ or the latest trends (unless you really want to). It’s about finding accent colors that work with YOUR home, YOUR style, and YOUR comfort level.

Because the best accent color isn’t one you love on a paint chip, it’s one that makes everything around it look better.
