Color is one of the most important considerations to make, and a balanced approach to color usage is the key to making a living or working space comfortable. Black has its place, for instance, but overuse may create a negative or uninviting space. Men often favor some shades of blue when choosing a color scheme for a bedroom, office, or den. But, while blue can invoke feelings of trust, calm, and peace, determining the shade of blue is critical to avoid an unpleasant color scheme.
The following infographic helps to make even novice decorators feel more confident in their ability to effectively and artfully transform a space.
