1. Play with Hues

"Hues are the words of design" and it has a lot to say about the atmosphere inside the room; the tone of walls, the shade of floors, tint of fabrics, and the combination of decor used.

If you are a design junky; you might know this;  "Colors play a huge role in Human Psychology". "The brighter and lighter a color, the more happy and optimistic it will make you feel." 

This perspective is what we really need to start the year from the first and manage it all the way until the twelfth month. If your home has always  been decorated with minimalistic and dull hues, playing with colors must be a good idea for a whole room make over.

There are few things to consider:

TONE OF WALLS

This year, Pantone took the unusual step of naming two colors as their color of the year: Illuminating yellow, and Ultimate pale gray.

Pantone denotes, "The selection of two independent colors highlights how different elements come together to express a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting, conveying the idea that it’s not about one color or one person."
