Finding Color Inspiration From Artwork


Let's face it, sometimes we're just stuck or even afraid when it comes to choosing color - sometimes, it even paralyzes us so much that we end up doing nothing - for years.  One possible solution to help you get "unstuck" is to look around your home and see if you have a piece of artwork that you enjoy.  Think about what inspires you about the art: is it the subject matter, the memories it invokes, the color - or maybe all of the above?  If you love the color or even the feeling you get from the color palate, then you have a starting point.  Below are examples of how to take a piece of artwork and use it for color inspiration.

Once you've found your own color inspiration, then you can start small with a throw pillow or accessory or maybe go big and paint the walls.  Remember, if you don't like it - you can always change it.  But wait a week or so - it just may grow on you.
