Additionally, small and repetitive patterns can make us feel regimented while large, flowing patterns bring out
One of my favorite ways to use a mid-tone color is to frame it with white! The contrast is a dramatic focal point in and of itself!
Color, depth, pattern, & lighting affect how we eat, sleep and work. And that's a good thing. Color gives you power over your home's appearance which also means that choosing the wrong color can have a detrimental result on all whom live in the home.
