Color Matching Thru the Home - Continued

Sometimes you will find that these swatches are also known as paint chips, and often you can pick up a few different paint chips or swatches at one time without a cost.

There is still another way that you can match colors and fabrics, if you want the same feel and look through out your home. You can use the same types of drapes, materials and carpets through out your home for a look that is going to make your home match and create the same look that will be easily matched, such as shades of gray, blue, or browns for the carpets and drapes. 

How can you track what you are purchasing and what you still want?
Tiny notebooks that can be held in your purse, in the car or in your pocket can hold your matching color dreams. Cut out pictures of what you want, and keep your paint chips or swatches in the book as well. When you find an item that you want, in your budget range and in the color range, you can take that page out of your notebook. 

This is also a way to keep an idea in your head about what you want when you do run across a sale your weren’t expecting. Sales crop up and without your info on hand you could purchase the wrong colors, the wrong sizes or just something that doesn’t match overall. 

Have fun matching and shopping!
