We Asked Designers How to Decorate With Color, and They All Spilled Their Secrets

Color can look completely different in every room, and it all depends on the light. If a room is north facing, a color may look cooler. If it's south facing, it may look brighter and warmer. As the day evolves, the color will change.

You can't pick a color in a vacuum. You have to understand how it's going to look in that specific room, and that is also dependent on the size of the room and how the walls will reflect off of each other.

"My process behind color is truly dependent upon each individual space. The light, the size, and the purpose of a room play large roles in how color should be used," says Grey Joyner, founder and interior designer at Grey Joyner Interiors.
