Color Scheme Guide - R
Click for bigger image

The color scheme guide is meant to be a teaching tool, and representation of the fabrics and wallpapers shown.  The purpose is to visually show you how Decorators create a style and color scheme, so you may learn what you like best, and gain decorating confidence. 

Every attempt has been made to choose current fabrics and wallpapers, although it is common in decorating to experience backorders and discontinued products.  Decorator Secrets does not guarantee the availability of the samples shown on the color guides, or the performance of any of the products you may choose to use in your home. 

The colors shown on the guides are very accurate, but are not always exact, and have been reduced in size for production purposes. 

 

CARPET COLOR SUGGESTIONS:

  • Beige/Neutral

  • Soft to Wedgwood Blue

  • Medium to rich Green

  • Yellow/gold- seldom used, but can be stunning

 

PAINT COLOR SUGGESTIONS:

Colors suggested could be for main areas or additional rooms.  The suggestions are a starting point only, and would vary according to your flooring choices!  Never paint without testing first!  Read the Chapter in the Workbook “Walls…Trim…Molding” before attempting a final paint choice.

Note:  The Yellow gold in the flower and the green in the leafs of pattern # 1 did not reproduce as accurate as most colors.  The truer shade is more comparable to the yellow gold’s and greens in the other fabrics and papers shown.  If you are interested in this fabric, please be sure to request an actual sample from Affordable Elegance.
