Each week we provide Color Fabulous tips that help you punctuate your surroundings. This week we’re talking about decorating with your favorite color(s).

When you flip through magazines or catalogs, pay attention to the pages that draw you in.

Why did you stop at a particular page?

It may be the that the room has balance, a collection of things you find interesting, or maybe it’s the colors that simply speak to you.

I challenge you to incorporate your favorite color(s) into your home. You’ll be happier for it for sure.

Here are 10 tips to get you started

1. Red is a very powerful color that is often overwhelming on a large scale. This dining room table is a great example of how to add your favorite color in smaller doses,
