Caitlin Creer Interiors: Tips for decorating with fresh color palettes

My last segment on Studio 5 was about incorporating fresh colors into your home. In case you missed it you can view the segment here .

Of course we all know that the days when maroon and hunter green were the go to colors for the home are long gone. Let's face it, we're not in the 80's anymore, but it can be hard to know where and how to start updating your look. Here are a few fresh color combos that will add a little spice to your life.

The key these days is a good dose of something unexpected. You can have a relatively neutral room, but still incorporate a dose of color and make it sing. Try thinking outside the box when you're considering color combinations for a space. You might be surprised how something daring can really elevate a room.

Green + Blue:

Fresh preppy and crisp. A true kelly green will play it safe, but if you're feeling bold, try pairing a limey shade of chartreuse in the mix.

yellow + green:

Young and fresh. More muted tones can create a very warm

and earthy look. Bright ones scream happy and fun.

orange +blue:

This combo is not for the faint of heart, but it can create a vibrant feeling in a room. For a more traditional look, try using varying shades of blue paired with a subtle orange or red. This match would be darling for a boy's room.

pink + green:

Cute and fun. Be careful not to take this over the top or your room might start looking like a barbie commercial. Both these shades have a wide color range that can be adapted to suit the needs of the space. This combo can be fun or sophisticated depending what tones your use in your space.
