Picking the right color scheme for your home is the first step in any design project or renovation. Some homeowners choose a pattern or color based on the look of a few pieces of furniture in the room. Often, a homeowner will have a beige piece of furniture and will design the rest of the color scheme of the room, including window treatments, around beiges and browns fearful of stepping away from “safe colors.”

Break away from beige with the help of websites like colourlovers.com. So how can you use a site like this effectively much like professional interior designers do? Simple.

Start with a color of your choice, or browse through their palettes to find a color scheme you really like. Let’s go back to that beige couch of yours and start there.

Do a keyword search for beige and you’ll find that color palette possibilities are endless:
