It is more or less easy when you have to pick just a single color for a room. But things get a little complicated when you have to plan out a color scheme for the entire room comprising the walls, curtains, furniture, etc. So how exactly should you go about it? To answer in a nutshell, you have to first choose a basic hue for the room and then, deicide the distribution pattern of color.

• You begin by choosing a style (formal or casual) as well as a theme for your room like traditional or techno modern and so on.
• The second step is to decide on a 'basic or anchor' fabric that will have three or more colors.
• Now choose the background color of this fabric as the wall color.
• For the flooring and big furniture pieces, you can pick a medium-toned color from the fabric. The upholstery can be done with the anchor or coordinating fabric.
• Infact you can use anchor fabric in at least three places in the room like upholstery, curtains, etc.
• The most vibrant hue in the anchor fabric can be used for choosing matching accessories like picture mats and decorative pillows.
• Coordinating fabrics can be used in larger or smaller amounts as accent fabrics on chairs, pillows, cording and tablecloths.
