When you buy one of the new homes in Little Elm TX, you’ll have to make a variety of design decisions including what color to paint the walls. Once you’ve settled into your new home, you may want to shake things up by adding some fashion-forward colors to a few key rooms, such as the dining room or home office. Here are a few suggestions to spark your imagination:

High-Energy Hues – Robin’s egg blue, teal and Caribbean blue shades add life and energy to any room. They can work particularly well in the dining room of your new home.

Neutrals – Builders and homeowners typically use beige to warm up a space. When you pair it with black and white, the contrast between the neutrals adds graphic impact and energy.

Brown, Green and Beige – Put a spin on the classic pairing of chocolate brown and baby blue by switching out the blue for seafoam green and then combining it with camel. The neutral appeal of camel balances out the dark brown and languid green shades.

Gray, Black and Hot Pink – Bring a contemporary look to your home office by pairing soft gray walls with black furniture and small, concentrated accents of hot pink or dark red. Even though pink is usually a feminine color, pairing it with gray and black gives it a more gender-neutral appeal.

Yellow, Brown, & Blues – You may not think this combination of colors will work together, but it can if you put some white into the mix. One interesting tactic is to alternate horizontal stripes of the vivid shades with wide bands of white. This way the look doesn’t become overly busy or muddied.

Coral, Green & Blue – If you use soft blues and greens in the living room or dining room, one way to inject a beautiful contrast is through the use of accents in varying shades of coral.

Olive, Lime & Teal – Often interior designers stick with earthy tones or vibrant, bold shades when working with green. You can make a different statement by combining the two in a sitting area. Olive-green walls with brown undertones complement paintings or other accessories that feature shades of lime and teal.

Yellow and Honey – Traditional-style homes frequently use honey and yellow tones in the living room. One way you can put a modern spin on this combination for your new home is to pair these sunny shades with bold, high contrast art.
