Your space, your clothes, your home should reflect you. The colors you choose are a big part of the reflection!

That scares a lot of people! My suggestion is don’t be afraid! You only live once and this is not the dress rehearsal.
Start with an inspiration, what inspires you? Where do you like to travel? What makes you feel happy, comforted, safe? Is there a fabric you love? A family heirloom you cherish?

Get a fun tray, start collecting items you love and put on it soon you will have your very own inspiration board, play around with the swatches, the things the ideas the place represented, this is real life pinning!
Don’t be too serious, have fun! There are a lot of rules about, but who’s watching.
Now that you have what you love, OWN IT!
I love to paint large paint samples on poster board, how can anyone choose a color from a tiny chip??
You can live with it for a few days, see it at different times of the day, see how it makes you feel, how does it look with you stuff??

Serena and Lily are great for paint color suggestions!
House Beautiful has a nice collection of energetic and soothing colors
West Elm + Pottery Barn every issue of their catalog has a great selection of new colors from a variety of paint makers
Sherwin-Williams shares seasonal palettes from sherwin-williams with colors you can count on usually with a coupon, too!
Better Homes and Gardens always a page about color in every issue, great to tear out and save for that next design job to inspire!
