Follow these 4 tips to get started:

1. Make note of the colors you naturally gravitate towards

Take a moment to dive into your recent purchases. Grab your phone and open the notes app. Jot down the colors of the items you recently bought; maybe it's a new pair of shoes, a sleek phone case, a cozy blanket, or a trendy water bottle.

As you list them out, pause to reflect: do you notice any recurring hues? Do you find yourself leaning towards a certain color scheme without even realizing it?

2. Think through the furniture and décor you already own

Before diving headfirst into a complete home makeover, take a moment to evaluate the furniture and décor you already have. Whether you’re settling into a brand-new space or refreshing your current one, aligning your home color palette with your existing pieces can make all the difference.

3. Determine the mood you want to create in your home

Setting the mood is key when it comes to crafting the perfect home color palette. It's all about understanding your preferences and the atmosphere you want to cultivate in your living space.
