TIPS ON HOW TO DEVELOP A CREATIVE COLOR MINDSET AND DESIGN SENSE IN INTERIOR DESIGN
Creativity is innate but can be hyped through practice of the under listed tips:
2. Snap pictures of colors that inspire you on walks and travels. Carry a camera and capture those little details that inspire you as you see them. Taking quick snapshots with your camera phone is fine — the point is more in the noticing than in the quality of your pictures. Sometimes the spirit of a place really shines through in the colors used there, so mine those old vacation photos for inspiration, too.
5. Look to the branding of good restaurants, shops and other businesses. Shops are often great places for finding color schemes, since great care was taken to design them in an appealing way. The next time you walk into a shop or restaurant and find yourself really enjoying the atmosphere, stop and ask yourself why. Take a closer look at your surroundings — is it the paint color that makes you feel good? Try to begin naming what really works for you.
8. Aim to complement what you already own. Look at what you already have in your home — do you tend to be drawn to bright, statement-y furniture with bold colors and patterns? If so, you may want to stick with neutral walls that won't compete. If your furniture taste runs to white, white and more white, perhaps a subtle (but not white) neutral would add interest to your clean aesthetic. Assess the finishes in your
9. Learn to translate what you see. Picking colors for your walls is a highly personal process. The best way to learn about what works for you is to start paying more attention to color ... everywhere.

10. Experiment with inspiration boards. A board that works for another person may not work for you — so try out different methods until you hit on something that feels like fun. Some may love the physical act of cutting and tacking up tear sheets to a board; others may find that fussy. Collect items in a tray or basket, create an ideas consistently until you become good at it.That way,you'll be headed for the BEST outcome.

- Be inspired by a landscape you love. Choosing your paint colors based on hues that occur together in nature takes some of the guesswork out of paint picking. The beach is the quintessential example of taking the landscape to a color scheme the hues of sand, water and sky work beautifully as paint colors, as well as on furniture and accessories.
2. Snap pictures of colors that inspire you on walks and travels. Carry a camera and capture those little details that inspire you as you see them. Taking quick snapshots with your camera phone is fine — the point is more in the noticing than in the quality of your pictures. Sometimes the spirit of a place really shines through in the colors used there, so mine those old vacation photos for inspiration, too.
3. Notice the subtle hues that move you. Not everyone is
drawn to bold, clear colors; that is only one small slice of the spectrum. Pay
attention to the subtle hues and particular shades that move you, as these can
become great color palettes. Perhaps you are drawn to the rich browns of worn
leather and old wood. If you love blue, is it midnight, pale aqua or French
blue? Get specific.
4. Try doing a color-a-day experiment. This practice is
a workout for your creativity and visual sense. Look for shades of one color to
photograph each day, until you have covered them all. Keep your eyes peeled for
pretty veggies in the produce bins, graffiti on a brick wall, a row of colorful
binders in your office nowhere is off-limits.5. Look to the branding of good restaurants, shops and other businesses. Shops are often great places for finding color schemes, since great care was taken to design them in an appealing way. The next time you walk into a shop or restaurant and find yourself really enjoying the atmosphere, stop and ask yourself why. Take a closer look at your surroundings — is it the paint color that makes you feel good? Try to begin naming what really works for you.
6.Pay attention to shop displays. When you're inside a
shop, pay special attention to beautiful displays of objects and flowers —
especially color combination that catch your eye. Notice which color was used
in a larger swath and which color punctuates the arrangement. For instance, you
may be drawn to a display of sunshine-yellow mugs, but upon further thought
realize it's the deep blue tile wall in the background that really makes it for
you.
7. Consider the architecture of your home and the region you
live in. What colors are typically used to play up the sort of house you
have? Noticing doesn't mean you have to follow suit, but it can help guide you
in your process. Southwestern homes, for instance, tend to feature rich
earth-tone colors, which complement the landscape beautifully.
8. Aim to complement what you already own. Look at what you already have in your home — do you tend to be drawn to bright, statement-y furniture with bold colors and patterns? If so, you may want to stick with neutral walls that won't compete. If your furniture taste runs to white, white and more white, perhaps a subtle (but not white) neutral would add interest to your clean aesthetic. Assess the finishes in your
