Tried and True Color Trios

Are you about to paint a room or thinking of freshening up a space but are stuck on choosing a color palette?

Color is a complicated subject...just look!


Do you stand in front of the paint chip displays in despair on which paint color to select that will be the jumping off point in your room, amongst the sea of paint chips? (Me! Me!)

????


Well, thankfully here is our answer to paint palette dilemmas: tried and true color trios from Sabrina Soto - that high energy design cutie you see all over TV! 




Sabrina has published a book 'Sabrina Soto Home Design: A Layer-by-Layer Approach to Turning Your Ideas into the Home of Your Dreams' where she outlines her favorite color trio palettes.


These palettes consist of three colors (called a Color Trio) which coordinate beautifully to give your spaces that high end designer look. 

So, how do these palettes work?  You choose a Color Trio and select one color as the wall color, one as the furniture color and the third color for accent furniture or accessories/artwork!


For example:

Color Trio #1: Soothing Satisfaction

Linen, grey, slate

Linen colored sofa, Grey Walls, Slate colored pillows/throw

Pin It



Color Trio #2: Neutral Warmth

 Cream, brown and tan

Cream walls/rug/sofa, Brown chairs and Tan hardwood/blinds/coffee table:



Color Trio #3: Stately Softness

 Teal, ivory and indigo

Teal chair/books, Ivory artwork/molding, Dark Indigo walls:



Which color trio do you like the best?

 
Thank you SO much for coming by for a visit! I love to hear all of your comments!

  2. Enjoyed your post, and love Sabrinia on HGTV. I need all the help I can get in deciding a color scheme. Hope her book has colors trio's for less contemporary looks. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday's Best!
