EVERY HOME TELLS A STORY

Posted 05/09/2016

Every home tells a story. Walk through the front door and you quickly get a sense of the people that live inside. Sentimental pieces, hand-me-down furniture, artwork from the kids or grandkids and dishes in the sink all add up to ‘you’. The right color added to a home can help pull together these elements and set the stage for your home's unique tale. Are you looking for calm and serenity? Cool colors like green, blue and purple can deliver. Looking for comfort, light and energy? Warm colors like red, orange and yellow offer this welcoming feel.

Color selection can be crazy-hard. You might be reading this post as you are wanting to know what is popular and trending in color or simply looking for color inspiration. Be an artist of your own environment. Curate colors for your home that inspire and make your space comfortable, positive and motivating. Our 2016 Summer Colors offer a mix of neutral favorites, restful hues and trending pops of color. If you need more inspiration or help in visualizing color, check out Envision , Diamond Vogel’s color visualizer that helps you view color prior to painting or stop into your local Diamond Vogel Service Center. Color is powerful, use it to tell the best story, the story of your home.
