If you feel lost on picking and blending colours, 'Pick-See-LMD' this should be your magic mantra. Use this formula whenever you are trying to pull together a colour-coordinated room.

LMD: Light-Medium-Dark. Now, this needs your skill and colour knowledge to coordinate the three. This can affect the over-all appearance of your room.

Light: Basically, it is background. This is easy to achieve as people advise you to have light or off-white walls.

Medium: Furniture and widows: The colour of furniture will blend with the above lighter section. This helps to ground the room and give it a foundation.
