Tying Your Room Together With Colors and Accents

By Jean Parker

Once you are finished redecorating a room in your home, you will often find that you need the one item that can bring all your colors and theme together. This finishing touch should act as the focal point of the room and can something as simple as a painting with all the right colors or an area rug that blends in with the theme.

Getting the right look to a room can start with the decor or it can start with the paint or the architectural details. A perfect built in bookshelf or mantle around the fire place can be the thing to build around. The accessories can accent the way the room is built, not just what you put in it. The wood work and brick and tile work in a room is the perfect thing to get started with for picking out a theme or focus.

If your room has beautiful wood work this is something that should be showcased, since it is time consuming and expensive. Instead of covering up the architectural details in your home use them to make the home, and the room, stand out. Something as simple as crown molding or a chair rail can turn your room into something amazing and beautiful. When working with trim it is important to no go over board. If this is done properly you will have a stylish looking room that is decorative and that can make a world of difference.

Getting your colors and textures to fit together in a room can often be a challenge. Deciding on the right colors can be a time consuming task, but once you have completed it matching the furniture and accents to your colors can be simple with some help from an expert. Magazines, online resources and even visiting showcase rooms can be great assistance with this process.

Never be afraid to experiment and put things together that you may have never thought about. The worst thing that can happen with experimenting is that you are unhappy with the way it looks and you need to move things around. You can never be sure what you really like or what will really look good without giving it a chance first.
