2014 home decorating is all about contrasts. If you're thinking of changing your color scheme in 2014 then you'll be interested to know that Color of the Year has been named along with a supporting cast of colors, floral and geometric designs.
Radiant Orchid... that's a purple with fuchsia highlights is color of the year. If you love purple and can't work out how to get it into your home decorating, then this post will show you the other colors in the 2014 color schemes and lots of ways to use this with your existing paint colors.
It's not all about purple, but adding it to your existing rooms to give them a lift of strong, vibrant color, away from all the whites and muted shades we've had so much of.
Think soft pastels along side vivid bright colors. Pastels are easy on the eye.. you can experiment with color combinations and color schemes without changing absolutely everything about your living room furniture.
As for texture, it’s all about contrasting the practical and luxurious to create a perfect balance of opposites.
Gilded, carved mirrors against distressed painted furniture, folk or country rugs over polished hardwood floors and layers of softly textured fabrics against industrial polished steel or wrought iron.
Mix it up with some florals and geometrics and you have a great layered look.
The wider the contrast them more effective the look.
