Does the thought of picking out a color scheme for your house simply overwhelm you? If you're not sure how well a particular group of colors will mix then perhaps you should go with a more traditional color scheme? As long as you follow the simple rule of choosing a single color as your primary room color and to use other colors as accents you'll avoid your room becoming too 'color busy'.

Seaside color schemes are becoming increasingly popular in modern interior decorating. Fresh aqua blue, sandy tan, sea glass green and pale peach are all colors which figure strongly in this scheme. The use of pale gray shades to evoke the feel of weathered seaside boardwalks will also blend with the previously mentioned colors.

Tropical schemes include sky blue, olive green and warm brown toned colors. The use of red and purple as part of this scheme makes perfect sense as they bring tropical flowers to mind. Using a crisp white color at any stage also gives any room a more 'airy' feel to it.

If you want a European color scheme then using rich old world colors like dark gold, purple, blue, black and a deep red will give you the desired effect. Using these colors can add a 'glow' to each room.

French color schemes demand a different set of colors. The use of trendier colors like China blue, light maroon and pale gold are perfect for evoking feelings of the French countryside.

Last but not least we have the Asian color scheme. Simple black and white colors with Chinese red and blue accents are most common in this theme. The careful use of gold in this scheme is also an idea worth investigating.

Now get to work. Pick a color scheme and get started on creating the home of your dreams.
