Color can take you back to happy memories: It is no coincidence that we chose deep blue for our bathroom tile. It reminds us of Lake Tahoe. (That’s my husband, Jason, in the vacation picture above.)

CHOOSING A COLOR SCHEME

Let’s start by choosing a single color for the color scheme of your room. This will be the dominant color. (Don’t worry, you can always decide to change this color as you experiment with possibilities!) Think about the intentions you formed for the room, the adjectives you assigned to the various colors, and the spirit plants, animals, and environments you chose. Are these elements starting to come together to suggest a dominant color for the room?

Once you have chosen a color to play with, it will be necessary to consider how this dominant color will relate to the other colors in the space. One of the easiest and most effective tools for investigating color relationships and choosing color schemes is the good old tried-and-true color wheel you first learned about in grade school. So go ahead, spin that wheel and experiment with color schemes.
