My Color Schemes and Basic Design Style
When I move from my present home to a retirement home, I am thinking I will go with a strong blue/purple on the living room walls. Darker than this although in this tone/shade of blue/purple (I get the technical terms mixed up. I think tone has to do with how much black is mixed in to the color, maybe?) For now, my walls are staying pale butter yellow. I want my choices to fit into a medium dark blue purple room in the future.
A basic brook I want to read about remaking our environments into beautiful spaces that make us happy instead of cut off and miserable.
