What’s your everyday style ? Is it Classic? Eclectic? Minimal? This is a good place to start. If you’re having trouble nailing it down think about your wardrobe. Generally what you feel good wearing will be the kind of space you feel good in.

Set the mood. It’s important to consider what feeling you want the space to evoke. Color and emotions are closely linked to think about how a color palette will impact your mood, behavior and stress levels.

Think about places you love to help inspire your color palette. Whether it’s your favorite vacation spot or a just a particular region of the country it can help narrow down your color palette.
