We have all heard designers say, "Don't be afraid of color". While I completely agree with this, I would add..."unless you don't know how to transition the colors properly!"
Transitions colors can sometimes be tricky. That's why I'd like to point out a few "rules" or tips on how to use color.
- Corners of Rooms: Transitioning from one paint color to the next is perfect for an inside corner of the room. However, when a wall juts into the room and create an
outside corner, this is not a good location to transition into a new color. In other words, closed corners are good; open corners are bad. - Openings to Other Rooms: If you have openings that do not have
trim around them, the inside face of these openings should always be the
color of the room you use the most, or the most important of the two.
