1. Stick with Neutrals- Debbie says that many homeowners can opt for neutral colors. This keeps their options always open for a new color scheme or design by simply selecting different accessories in the room. It also helps avoid extra work or money spent remodeling when the color becomes out of date.
2. Calming Blues- These are called "Well-worn colors" and are in blue family whether that be denim to blue-gray. Blue is also a calming and peaceful color that is perfect for creating a "perfect retreat" from the day's stressful events.
