Casual Home Decorating Ideas for Wall Color

You've heard it a million times and it's true. One of the easiest and least expensive ways to give a room a new look and feel is with paint.

HOME DECOR COLORS
 Not only is paint color chosen according to personal taste, it is imperative that wall color
harmonizes with the overall theme of the room and adjoining rooms. Wall color is the canvas and the canvas color must compliment the colors that are added to that canvas. Choose a fine art print, a wall tapestry or an upholstery fabric swatch as your inspiration guide and use the colors appearing in your guide when selecting wall color, furniture, floor covering and decorative accessories. For a well-designed room, the wood, fabrics and floor covering must compliment the wall color. In the foyer pictured above, a dramatic entrance to the home is the overall design objective. Read about the steps taken in this foyer update.

WALL COLORS DRAWN FROM NATURE

Casual decors include rich textures and fabrics. Leather, chenille, sisal, raffia, cotton, linen and burlap appeal to natural and casual decorating styles. Organic materials and neutral wall colors drawn from nature bring depth and luxury to the casual color palette.

You don't have to paint the walls blue if you want a blue room. Red walls are not a requisite for a red room. A soft warm gold, tranquil olive green or a soothing peach wall color works well in both the blue room and red room scenario. Golden mustards, rich browns, and deep, tawny reds are warm earthy colors found throughout nature. Golden beige tones, warm browns and the soft oranges of the setting sun pair well with cobalt blue or dark brick red.

Terra cotta colored walls pair well with a variety of colors to form a striking color theme.
Wrought iron is not just for walls. Dress up your dining room with a new iron light fixture.

A strategically placed mirror reflects secondary lighting, a favorite window view and treasured art objects. Decorative accessories are showcased when placed in front of, or reflected by, a mirror.

Casual Home Decorating with Mirrors
Mirrors are one of the designer's most useful tools. Mirrors increase light in a room with few windows and multiply the light from existing windows.

In the dining room, mirrors reflect candlelight and exaggerate chandelier luminescence. When placed atop a serving buffet, a mirror adds sparkle to all objects placed on top of it. A long mirror incorporated into a dining table centerpiece showcases crystal table appointments. Mirrors make a dining experience unique and special.

Reflective qualities are most often the homeowner's major concern when it comes to mirrors, but designers use mirrors by placing them in strategic locations throughout a room's design. Designers think beyond hanging a mirror in the bath or in the entry foyer. Mirrors can be used in surprising places in rooms throughout the home.

Consider placing a tall floor mirror at the end of a long hallway and in the confines of smaller rooms. A large mirror makes a room or hallway look and feel larger.

To highlight sculpture or a treasured urn, strategically place mirrors to reflect the image so that guests see the object when it is not in direct view. A mirror placed behind a floral arrangement or behind collectibles on a display shelf will showcase the objects and give them greater importance in the room's design.
