Answer 1

The use of color is also something very personal. It stimulates our senses, power our mood, and helps create a particular ambiance. How we respond to an individual color depends on our nature, extroverts tend to feel happy with bold colors, while introverts prefer more passive colors.

Through using specific combinations of color, combined with a careful consideration of simple color schemes is often the most effective.

Try not to use more than one or two principal colors in a room, as well as a contrasting or balancing tone. The best way to choose a background color for the room is to trial with a palette of different shades and tones, in combination with the color and textures of the furniture and materials. Remember the general color schemes of a home have to be in agreement. The walls define the space in a room, while the colors, to a large degree, define the mood.

Colored light, furnishing materials, and structural proportions, we can create a home that is welcoming, helpful, and comfortable. Walls are similar to background music: each color tone is like a musical note can create a pleasant-sounding harmony while others grate with each other.

The color with which we surround ourselves will without doubt have an effect on us, and so it is important to feel comfortable with our choice. A discussion with a professional color consultant can help to decide individual needs and select appropriate color.

Colors can be divided into three main groups: those that stimulate and uplift, those that relax and calm, and those that provide harmony or balance. So, having taken a number of things into thought when decorating a room, such as the size of the space, the amount of light, the function if the room, and the style and mood we wish to create, we finally, and most importantly, need to consider the needs of the people who use it.

New man, last man, it seems like your changing "men" like you change underware, eh? :) Just kidding:)

Well, forget anything "pink" as that denotes feminism and no "male" will put up with that!

GET A REMOTE! Every man is attracted to that:) LOL!

Ok, on a serious note... Nothing fluff, men hate that! Earth tones are great. Big easy chair, is a good thing for a man. Keep an assortment of tools around, so that he will feel "handy" if he is a fixer upper...and if not, get rid of him and find some one who is!

Take a few pics of him and get them mounted and put on the wall, (of course, it may make him think you "want" him to stay, and that will have to be discussed between you two in earnest).

Big screen TV is a REAL PLUS, but, not everyone can afford that :)

Just by getting rid of the "former occupant", and the girly stuff, will be a big plus, then as you both settle in, let him make suggestions and you follow them, until its "his style", if yo plan on keeping him :)

I wish you well..
