Quick tip #4

You want to decorate and don’t know where to start – choose your scheme:

Contrasting/complementary scheme
Choose colours directly opposite on the colour wheel, or opposite but one (red and green or red and blue-green). The starkest contrast will come from the primary colours, so be careful using exact opposites on the wheel as they ‘shout’ at each other for attention in a scheme.

A good idea is to use one colour as your main theme and the contrasting one as an accent. This is definitely one for the colour lovers.
