Color is fundamental in home design–something you’ll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? Whatever you’re looking for, color is the key to make a room feel the way you want it to feel.

Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. While all of them are useful, they can get a little complex. But good news is that they're really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.
多年來，有許多不同的技巧來幫助設計師接近這個重要的目的。雖然所有這些技巧都是有用的，但它們可能會變得有點複雜。但好消息是，你需要對家裡的顔色做出的決定其實隻有三種而已：小的，中的，和大的。

Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with. They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us used to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.
小的顔色選擇是我們最熟悉的。它們是像抱枕、鏡子和籃子這樣的小色點，我們大多數人都用它們來為我們的房間增加視覺趣味。比起粉刷牆壁，小顔色的選擇不那麼累人，比起購買彩色沙發，小顔色的選擇帶來的重要好處是容易進行變換。

► Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofa, dinner tables or bookshelves. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.
中等顔色的選擇一般是家具件，如沙發、餐桌或書架。這個範圍内的顔色選擇在兩個主要方面比小的顔色更進一步。它們需要比決定小的顔色投入更多，而且它們對空間的感覺有更大的影響。

The large color decision in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors.Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time.
在你的房間裡，大的顔色決定包括牆壁、天花闆和地闆。無論你看的是牆紙還是油漆，投入的時間、精力和相對費用都很大。是以，你必須要有實足把握，因為你想在第一次就要把大的着色選對。
