When it comes to home decorating, it's a great idea to set a particular tone to each room. Your living room might deserve a cheerful mood suited for entertaining, while your bedroom is a space for relaxation and calmness. Whether you want a room to be peaceful, fun, romantic, or dramatic, you can calibrate the ambiance using decor elements.
Here, we show you tips and examples on how to set the mood of your interiors using the right color scheme and the matching wall art. (We're basing our color tips from expert author Anna Starmer's The Color Bible.) Let's get the good vibes going!
The bedroom is naturally one room in your home where you'd want to feel serene and rested. But you can also apply this mood elsewhere, such as in the bath and the nursery. One essential tip for a calm ambiance? Keep it clutter-free.

Royal bedrooms, Tuscan villas, romantic resort suites -- they all share that dreamy, elegant ambiance fit for classy home-dwellers. You don't have to spend like a queen to achieve this mood though. A few choice colors and decor would transform your home this way.
Colors to consider: Dusky hues such as mauve, old rose, peach, caramel, and taupe; dark, moody colors such as midnight blue, emerald, and deep ruby
Recommended wall art: A gorgeous artwork in a sophisticated hue, like this navy-and-gold combo:
For a home office or study, many prefer a clean, minimal setting that's practical and leaves little room for distraction. Some even like this no-fuss atmosphere in other spaces like their kitchens and living rooms.
Colors to consider: White, black, cool grays; Dark wood tones, deep blues and reds
Recommended wall art: A calligraphy artwork that's refined but has high impact:
The tried-and-true flavor of most family homes is comfort -- not too formal, not too eclectic, just the right kind of wholesome. Think cozy couches, homey quilts, and those family movie nights featuring buckets of popcorn.
Colors to consider: Warm neutrals like light gray, beige, and white; Subtle pastels like butter yellow and powder blue
Recommended wall art: This elegant and timeless family-themed artwork, which you can personalize with your own family name:
No matter what interior mood you're creating for your home, the most important thing is that it suits your preferences. Sometimes, certain objects that you like may not go with the overall palette -- a meaningful memento, a special pillow, or maybe a particular artwork -- but as long as you like them in your space, they could only enhance the feel of your very own abode.
