Design With Color

A well-chosen selection of contrasting trim and accent colors can

 draw attention to architectural details and disguise design flaws

 A poor selection can make a house seem flat and featureless -- 

Or so garish that the color overwhelms the architecture.

Why remodel? Sometimes all you need is a little bit of paint and 

a lot of magic. A community workshop in Vitoria, Spain produced

 this trompe l'oeil mural, turning an ordinary wall into an 

architectural fantasy.
