Color is one of the most important elements in designing a room or space.  It sets the tone for a room and provides a background for the rest of the design.  Generally, stronger and brighter colors should be used in the smallest amounts as a tool to accent a space.

Use a bright color in a foyer to invite guests into the home and play up a smaller space.  A bright blue is clean and crisp, giving the space a bright, airy feel.  Balance the brightness by bringing in accents, such as an array of pictures, a rich runner, or a unique chair.
