ROMO:Whether you live alone like meor share your home with roommates or a partner and/or kids, we'll be going oversome tips on the best ways of creating calming, productive and restful spacesin your home.

DABITO: Sometimes - I always ask people, like, so what kind of spacehave you seen, or maybe you've seen in a magazine or maybe you've been - you'vetraveled somewhere and you remember being really excited or feeling reallyhappy or feeling really inspired. So like, maybe there's that one hotel room orthat one restaurant. For me, like, you know, visiting a friend's place, I waslike, oh my God, this is so inspiring. How do I bring that into my own space?

ROMO: For Dabito, whosedesign aesthetic is bold and bright and who definitely takes a more is moreapproach to interiors, that usually starts with color.

DABITO: Yeah, you know, it's so funny to hear how people really lovecolor but are so afraid to use color. And so people are like, how do I decoratewith color? How do I use color in a space that still feels fun and classic -classic meaning white walls and neutral tones. But classic can be as bold asyou want, as eclectic, as colorful as you want as well.

ROMO: To be clear, Dabito is not anti-white walls. In fact, much of hisown home has them. It's just that he layers loads of color on top of the white. 

DABITO: Pick a color youlike. Do you like green? Do you like blue? Do you like yellow? And then you gofrom there. And so I always say, OK, well, I really love yellow, and I'm goingto use this yellow in my living room. So then I think, well, how do I want touse this yellow? Do I want to do a yellow wall or yellow sofa?

ROMO: Once that lead color isestablished, Dabito says that's when you can start thinking about othercomplementary colors.

DABITO: So if you haveyellow, balance it with blue or green. If you got pink, balance it with anothercooler, so you can do green. So pick up a warm tone, and then pick a cool tone,and then that's it.

DABITO: Or just go tone ontone on tone - yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, green, green, green, green,blue, blue, blue, blue, you know? And you can't go wrong with monochromatic aswell.

ROMO: Another explanationhere - when he talks about having a monochrome moment, like blue on blue onblue, he's not talking about the same shade of blue all around the room, supermatchy-matchy. He means, for instance, in a bedroom, having a rich navycomforter over powdery blue sheets with grayish-blue accent pillows. They're allin the blue family, but they're different enough that they play off of oneanother.
