Window Treatment Ideas Using Color To Decorate

Keep in mind that the use of color in your home doesn’t just apply to paint. You can use this information in helping to select area rugs, accent pillows and, “yes!”, even Window Treatments!

Before you run off and get started, I thought I’d put together some resources for what’s anticipated to be the Color Trends for 2013. This should give you some ideas and inspiration to get your next decorating project started. Use these ideas as a guideline and combine them with your own personal taste.

Pantone® is considered one of, if not THE, industry authorities on the subject of color. In fact, they lead many of the decisions that manufacturers make in product design.

You’ll find some great tools on their website, including a great “Color Selector” that you’ll find helpful.   Individual colors are one thing, but coordinating them so they look great, is another matter. Below is a link that will show you nine of Pantone®‘s color palettes, as well as some great examples of their use.
