    Play with Texture

    “A tonal approach to decorating--using hues from the same color family--provides an opportunity to add depth and warmth to your space,” says Taylor. These schemes work best when layered with texture, like a sheepskin wall hanging, a plush rug or velvet curtains. The elements add interest and help to complete your space.

    “Using bold color in an unexpected way will pay big style dividends,” explains Taylor. For example, if you love bright hues but have a small room, have no fear. “Try painting your color, like this uplifting orange, only two-thirds of the way up the wall. Leaving the top third and ceiling in the Valspar coordinating pure white will make the room feel twice the size.”

    “After a nine-hour workday, you should come home to a retreat away from all the noise,” says Cane. “Muted hues, like this soft green, will always provide you with that deep-breath feeling.” It’s important to note that this isn’t just for your living room; you can carry this color palette into any space (especially the bedroom).

    Paint Beyond the Walls

    Decorating with darker shades such as these works best when there’s a synergy and cohesiveness between all the elements. “Painting your dresser in the same or similar hue as your walls will offer that luxe and modern look,” says Taylor. Not to mention, it’s a lot easier than searching through endless websites for that perfectly color-matched piece of furniture.
