THIS IS YOUR LOOK

#1. You are a warm and friendly person that likes the country look.Your life style is relaxed, you entertain easily and often. You like American and French country furniture.

#2 You are`attracted to formality and the traditional look. You are a gracious hostess and take pride in your well kept home. You admire the polished look of good period furniture, and would like to collect antiques.

#3 You are a trend setting innovator, a contemporary environment is your habitat. You have great fashion flare that spreads into your decorating ideas. You like avant garde furnishings and hate any useless clutter.

#4 and #5. If your answers were too varied, then you are an eclectic, like to go your own way. Your interests are wide ranging and you have an artistic streak. This makes you appreciate good design of any period , you like to mix decorating trends and styles to suit yourself.

The background of your home is as personal as the clothes that you wear, it is an expression of your personality and you should choose the colors and fabrics that give you pleasure, after all, YOU live there and should enjoy the experience of each room in your home, as a backdrop to yourself.

If you don’t know which colors are most flattering, think of visiting the beauty counter, having make up tested on your skin, you will have either a “cool ” “warm” “or “neutral “skin tone.In general, cool skins look best against cool colours; warm skins against warm colours;neutral skins can be flattered by all shades of yellow-green and orangey -reds.

You must select the the best ones for YOU, so it can be a case for experimentation and fun.
Also remember, that most color choices are shown in full strength ( think of paint swatches) where you can see the different tones diluted for decorating. Walls, for instance, should usually be a much lighter version of the colors shown on basic colour charts.

If you are`looking for contrasting colors , then always consider black or white, they are good choices in almost every case.

It boils down to your personal taste, but with a little help from your color charts , and maybe asking a family member or friend , what colors they think are flattering to you, you will have a much better idea of what will look good in your home, and will perhaps save money, on experimenting with too many paint pots !!!!
