Color Rules for Small Spaces 2013 Ideas from HGTV

<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">When it comes to coloring your apartment, it's definitely okay to go outside the lines.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: orange;"><b><i>By : Anne Krueger</i></b></span></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh2AIS8jv1zb6HFmjL9Z1jLQ0PjZJIy7R38KySjwR1MVNnZFg8AnE41CydCKuxmmPu7ky8FDsMKjb0nNkCaaJDtHKnXpL1MSgW6_M7g4aDnGFIXu3droBTR9Xl5Kvnr2zuv754FsDNGr4z/s640/Color-Rules-for-Small-Spaces-2013-Ideas-from-GHTV.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">True or false: An all white color palette will make an apartment look larger. False! This is a common misconception of small-space design, along with the idea that less furniture makes an apartment feel larger. Instead, carefully placed furnishings and carefully chosen color can create an inviting space with style way beyond its diminutive size. </div><div style="text-align: left;">The number one color rule for a small space? There are no rules  really. If you want your apartment to look like your favorite Pucci scarf, do your thing. The goal should always be to make your rented space personal and appeal to you. Having said that, the experts who deal with color and interior design all the time do know a thing or two. Here are their tips and tricks. </div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: orange;">Choose Sharp Colors</span></b></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">One of the best ways to expand a space is with very clear colors, says designer Mark McCauley, ASID, author of <i>Interior Design for Idiots</i>. "Choose a palette of sharper colors as opposed to duller ones. Sharp as in bright chintzes mixed with colorful plaids or really hot reds and electric blues, yellows and greens (with plenty of air between the pieces). Color combinations with negative space in between will enhance the space's clarity and openness." </div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: orange;">Color Unexpected Accents</span></b></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Bring splashes of color to a radiator, the inside of a bookshelf or a windowsill to bring excitement and depth to a room. If you're lucky enough to have a foyer or hall, paint that a dark color and ease into a lighter shades in the living room, which will make it feel more spacious by comparison.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: orange;">Create a Focal Wall</span></b></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">While some designers frown on the idea of painting one wall a different or deeper color than the others, it can work wonders in a small space, says designer and actress Libby Langdon, a contributor to HGTV's <i>Small Space, Big Style</i>. "Don't be afraid of bold colors," she says. "Sometimes a darker color on one wall can make it recede, making the space look larger."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEissYNI6eRFkDDl6oF2B2B5HYHTvu8KGQA9A_1kop0suWXMBUY_4zgW5trZhTw2OmTIO_xouYutDru84Z4fZpaO9ZYNMvtsFVRSAJvayuTzagty8fNA-DwLWDgOFIhRi4YCIMooQJMtoSGu/s640/Color-Rules-for-Small-Spaces-2013-Ideas-from-GHTV-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: orange;">Connect Spaces With Shades of Color</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Just as different wall colors can divide your apartment into different work areas, different shades of the same color can unite all the rooms, as can a pattern that's repeated. "In a small space, in particular, these little touches the pillow that matches the lampshade fabric, the style of the mirror that echoes a side table can all add up to a cohesive space," McCauley says. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Get Spicy in the Kitchen</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Apartment kitchens are a great place to use color, says kitchen designer Jason Laudau of Amazing Spaces, LLC (www.amazingspacesllc.com) in New York. "Hang up the china you never use it saves space, adds color and glams up the kitchen," he says. "Or be very bold and paint the walls a trendy color. Red is hot!"</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Go Bold in the Bathroom</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Sure, something pastel in the peachy-pink palette will look great in the bathroom especially when you look in the mirror and see your rosy complexion. But for major affect, increase the bodacious scale. That's what designer Ron Marvin www.ronmarvin.com (www.ronmarvin.com) did in his New York City apartment bathroom that's painted a rich, chocolate brown. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Vamp It Up</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Beautiful faux finishes and specialty techniques can add a lot of character to a small space, says designer Dawn Burns-Pratt, ASID. "Painting the ceiling a darker color and extending the same color down the wall about 14 inches, or using metallic stripes in that same space with a chair rail and lighter color below looks terrific and expands the appearance of the space," she says. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Add Color That Travels</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The wonderful thing about color is that it's a really cheap way to decorate, and it can be added in non-paint ways, says designer Alice Fakier, this year's <i>HGTV Design Star</i> runner-up and host of <i>Ask Alice</i> on HGTV.com. "Apartment dwellers can get color on their walls by painting big canvases, hanging fabric or using wall decals," she says. And when you're ready for a larger space? You can take your color with you and go. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Stretch It With Stripes</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Draw the eye up with a wall of colorful stripes, says Langdon. Or paint the ceiling a lighter color than the walls to make it seem airier.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YX3RqTm4-wUZmxHU6lwqKxQ06WCqO-XN3FQhSdX4IByww21WJP3dCA1E0l1cZNjW0R4my1duQrl1y4Kvwyc3gMuY2BFq92343whuaqdlgx8nfPFsLgjRFld-RJhcniuIxsykGGmBkJoW/s640/Color-Rules-for-Small-Spaces-2013-Ideas-from-GHTV-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><br /><span style="color: orange;"><b>Don't Forget Black</b></span><br /><br />Whatever colors you choose for your small space, add one object that is black, says designer McCauley. "The black item  say, in a torchere lamp or a frame  will help ground the space and clarify the other colors. Try it, it works!" <br /><b><br /></b><span style="color: orange;"><b>Experiment With Color</b></span><br />Before you start slapping paint all over the blank canvas that is your apartment walls, consider these "baby-step" options. <br /> Experiment with 2 ounce samples. Many paint companies, including California Paints and Benjamin Moore offer them. That's enough paint to cover a 1’ by 2’ area, which should give you a good idea of what your chosen hue really looks like. Make sure to view it in natural and artificial light. <br /><br /></div></div>

A dramatic stone fireplace surround and furnishings of weathered wood convey down home comfort. Accents of mint green, such as the painted ceiling beams and upholstered sofa, incorporate of-the-moment style. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRNBaE0x08tyi4cAzqw4ueBnMiNRvIBkEeRDTlOIuM0fTjRVM0e9p46jEJwh_dd2ZMUvgJaJ2lzevAEPubJ4vhWyHCQwk2Hc72PnRZeXx-jPDHES9BJYv_T4F4RPRP1RIC5U1E6i5I66g/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A narrow screened porch off the back of this home provides a summery dining spot for the whole family. The red painted chairs along the sides of the dining table add a splash of color to the neutral space. Screens on all of the windows act as barriers that help keep out unwanted critters and crawlers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5nMtx6pp8IFlSvKbFaYoiR0foMjSnI9SfJiA0VmWcVzHP3b7M7fYAAmB_zjaT6_5abCdK02o-sFK_YLsv0keWp4ksOcWTEEwRS7JXJpnWSTQifNR_X1gQIBscUcTWcMVW4abQ2OWo5mI/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Wicker furniture is often a staple of outdoor living, however, these sleek lined pieces look anything but ordinary. A sisal rug beneath the seating arrangement helps define the area. The two sided fireplace adds warmth and light when the sun goes down. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrpi8gEO4Gsf4UqJ5C-IcmKl_ddau7b7cC_Qt5DxpLWd-nZ3ZKl_zX8ro8Nq8O16pc7F4zP7NEGnkmAHgmBRL33HUMKgoiCH5a4B_8pVoKbWse4xIdBVEWIW5Sb0NEkNS31wyIo1rIKaE/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Reclaimed wood ceiling beams, wrought iron accents, and stone flooring convey old-world style in this sunporch. French doors along one side of the room welcome visitors from the inside. On the opposite wall, heavy curtains can be thrown open to welcome fresh breezes or closed if the space ever feels chilly. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdp7E3KCdEMoJfRvP-YS9cPx9FITpc2Vo4o728Wl8YOA2nlTNIvZ-wadwnGfGtuAn9gBAECikkx86BlFLoaD2lCT4PoRYUFD7-OmDbFhur9huDycWMwM2dAksjx2IRKbXshIo4WTDNFeM/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A four-season porch design for casual entertaining is enhanced by equally casual furnishings. Adirondack chairs are an always-welcome classic, perfect for lounging. In this space, the design was adapted into a sofa, which easily accommodates two people. An infusion of red, white, and blue in striped motifs creates a nautical look that exudes summer style. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoXdAalPj3r1yFGo8QSXJRACMWW8SFJirEiM_OkwZEe9tT3AZ13WcpaZummxkMsVtcDeUmlSICblF1R-gMFjhogQrQdGYdetKr21R-7enH6-PibKSvohqFrxyZ0xWYBgCmHFfQ53opQ38/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">An infusion of airy cottage style is the perfect complement to the flood of natural light that fills a window-lined enclosed porch. Mimic the look of a classic cottage front porch by installing beaded board on the ceiling. For full on cottage style, use plenty of wicker accessories, flowers, and soft, bright colors like the frothy aqua on this dining room set. If you're enclosing an open-air porch, create continuity by using the same trim and window styles in the enclosure that's in the rest of your home. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLz8NZ1iSWS4ofgJ-HpO7P4ZSNvgfw73lb1aYetxUEkBbu_X-NZWj8nvdg5FUwA7xK8RCcVALUqEXw0UC7eUEPFQY2goSfO1g6hQYmQKZHqnZAHu8ISIkKD2N0ktLZLEObeFwumTrB3nA/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This screen porch is a breezy spot to spend spring, summer, and fall days. A light stain on the porch floor, white furniture and walls, and a wood table provides a neutral backdrop. Bright accents on the pillows, vases, and candelabra fill the space with color. For updates on a budget, limit bold colors to accessories. They are less expensive than large pieces of furniture and easier to update when you crave a change. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjy8XyJnIdVNN_qbSg00rJd9YYNKGe7ciAd3pAcw53qrYP3018aqeo-0Eijr_Hf0VS_RXaiJmCpuC1WRU_5eWeX7I8T1eIBh7O_K434DeB9s9ChncUlm2AREaTAge54JhlVuXLahrXJHY/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This stacked stone fireplace not only adds warmth to the screen porch, it also acts as a privacy screen, partially blocking the view from the outside into the porch addition. To give your porch substance, add in architectural millwork, such as these the simple pilasters with columns. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5B0XIprAzPPF8hWHWMcBN5OB8O0NwCkXK7znFcAuK5m2qeZNx-nFf89SVL3WjcKuMoUUdNFCwaEDPGOmR1g6l2npvUDsp-CGswpRkqMQ6rGc9IP1oo7Dylr3LhtL2V5HqG7UP1NcO2ag/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This screen porch gets a punch of color from bright furniture and accessories that can withstand the elements. Colorful outdoor grade wicker chairs and zippy vinyl lamps that mimic paper party lanterns pop against the white walls and window treatments. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMJUeg_Pt9tNZCEuWO_2Ljgecb5jj-kuFolLSNF6cPvc2TZNTp55OFTKSKXvsCKpwYFpg3WHo1WZJMem_mdqCAhkDyIe9mEmNFLChpGpxD6XqlEnpYN-Kbd3SZSRdKy3hk6PHPEAUBQnY/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Make the most of a small porch with slender furniture. A small bistro table-and-chairs set adds functional seating to this home's casual porch, while not overwhelming the tiny space like a larger set would. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs0dUHDKyhokcgfCMMbyAnK9m48DtRFWj_jTKEdzOt-MfomlQF32aJx7LOGrRLl9Bjtsi9sqUyy8pdt8ysRhV0p-V4fFSGMvSVDuYc8yi3nDi-iOQlVFuTYinIpWDNdU0pU6HyfDzsLog/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-15.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Give your porch a boost with a little bit of paint. Revive worn chairs with a few coats of paint in a bright hue. Or try painting your door a striking color. Black paint turns this ornately trimmed door into a worthy focal point. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguiS5_HawTm0jA5aiVXbclt9sC-JwWVXN3DpgwlkDBUGzkAKNoUzZCkeXecoDeuku-xv8V3DNAzhlUJLy4O0I4QDTK7Upa7mu7ysMtBCNtHS5q5MDNqeNHtbQ833I546bNEeXBz-l4nN0/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-16.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add the functionality of a dining room to an enclosed porch with a few basic furniture pieces. Start with an intimate round table and comfortable chairs, then incorporate a sideboard, credenza, or buffet. A versatile piece of furniture like this one adds storage as well as a place to set up food and drinks for a porch dinner party. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
