Ways to Approach Adding Color with Custom Shades
“What if I don’t do it right?” That’s a question we at Altra Home Décor serving Phoenix frequently get regarding adding color to a space. We don’t want our customers to feel trepidatious about home improvements—we want them to feel confident! That’s why we’re offering some suggestions for how to approach adding color. See below, and be sure to speak with one of our consultants for more ideas.
Start Small with Your Shade Selection
If you’re nervous about adding “too much” or “too bold” color, start “smaller” with neutral colors. You’ll find that neutrals are far from boring and can add a timeless, classic feel to a space. Warm neutrals like ivory tones can even bring a sense of serenity to your room. Or you can find something that has a bit more pop than a traditional neutral by selecting “pseudo neutrals like blue-gray or olive tones. Silver tints, smoky hues, and gray bases and patterns can create a beautiful aesthetic. If you want to bring one of these colors to your window treatments, consider Duette® Cellular Shades, which are available in numerous colorways to enhance your space.
Go Bright! Go Bold!
If you’re feeling like you really want to dig in to the color, choose a main surface area, like a standout wall or your kitchen backsplash, to add a bright and/or bold color or pattern. Or, in fact, if you want to go truly intense, you can saturate the space with color, to create a lasting impression. Use complementary colors throughout the room to keep everything balanced. Add custom drapes from the Hunter Douglas Design Studio™, where you can land on just the right color.
Texture Acts Like Color with Shade Fabric Choices
If you start to see textures as another color in the room, you can really build a fun color story. Stone, wood, slate, and woven materials bring depth to a room and can complement a color palette or enhance it. You can add these textures in décor, through furnishings like end tables, and with your window treatments. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are created from grasses, woods, reeds, and bamboo and are available in over 80 material and color options.
