The Fool Proof Guide to Choosing Colours for Your Home
If you're a photographer, a makeup artist, a decorator, or graphic designer you've had the opportunity to learn about colour theory. You get into details of complementary colours, tints and shades, and additive versus subtractive colour. But why get bogged down in technical details when the real questions is:
How do I know if these colours go well together?
Let me ask you a simple question: which picture is easier to understand? Picture "A" or picture "B". With a simple glance, it's easy to understand that picture B is a photo of an eggplant. Pretty simple, right?
The greatest artist in the world created that eggplant: Mother Nature and she is never wrong. So if you want a FOOLPROOF way to picking colours for your home, just look to Mother Nature for your inspiration. She's never wrong.
I've compiled some colour palettes from Design Seeds as they rely heavily on nature for their inspiration. Enjoy!

Design trends come and go, but budgets don't always keep pace with these trends. The floral sofa you spent thousands on last decade is now terribly out of date and is a giant eyesore in the center of your living room. So what do you do? Re-upholstering can be very costly and pre-fabricated slipcovers come in limited sizes and colours. Do you live with the floral monstrosity or shell out more hard earned money to keep up with the Joneses?
