Eh. Anything and everything goes in my house. To heck with colour schemes. Do what you want in YOUR house!!

I change my placemats and tablle runners to go with the seasons, they do not always match the color scheme and they look fine. Kinda perks things up....

If it makes you happy, go for it!!

When it is Spring or I want it to be Spring I bring out the bright cheery colors for table toppers/table cloths, and the clothes I wear. I need a variety of colors in a drawer to pull out for my moods/whims. Don't question your choices - you felt it was right at the time.

What about the different Holidays and Seasons, I love putting out a wall hanging or a table runner, like Easter for instance, pastels and Springy colors. That sure does not go with my everyday colors. But I do it anyway. My Grandkids love it.

My house is a quilt art museum!

I'm thinking of going bright and crazy for a shower curtain, even though everything in there now is subdued brown and teal. I just have seen too many maybe patterns, I have to decide on one.

Whatever your heart desires!

That being said, my house is roughly: the living room is sort of formal - portraits and style of furniture; Dining room is all still lifes - paintings and needlecrafts and whatever; family room and kitchen are Folkart including things that my children made about 40 years ago.
It is my house and I like it!

After 55 years of marriage I'd call our decorating scheme "eclectic" or a mixture of old, new, modern, antique, and I find it interesting. Just got rid of the old boring beige carpeting and have a red Danish modern area rug I bought in 1961 and had put away for several years. It brought life to my room and I got a new white IKEA storage unit with some red touches and it transformed the room and led to other nice additions. I don't even think of a "decorating" rule and wouldn't listen to someone else. Let them decorate their house and I won't advise them except to look at mother nature. She decorates profusely with color and it's great. Be brave and bold.
