Furniture World Magazine

PuertaBella.com, a leading e-commerce provider of WorldStyle™ furnishings, decorative accents and unique gifts announces the introduction of an innovative interactive design tool to solve some of the most perplexing decorating dilemmas: What color should I paint my room? What color combinations fit my personal style? How can I visualize the results to be sure the selections create the mood and look I want? With the Puerta Bella website and new YourColor™ interactive tool (at http://www.puertabella.com/yourcolor), visitors can point and click to visualize and experiment with various paint schemes -- from simple single color applications, to eclectic three color combinations. The YourColor tool provides paint color suggestions based on the mood the user wants to create, then automatically suggests various foolproof paint schemes, illustrating these combinations online in various representative room settings. The paint colors are selected from PuertaBella.com's unique "Villa" line -- with colors such as Tuscan Sunset, African Paprika, Mexican Sun, Taj Mahal and Cote'D'Azur. These captivating colors reflect the eclectic decorating flair that herald the new millennium. The exclusive palette and precise color matching schemes were developed by Amy Becker, Puerta Bella. com's resident Director of Interior Design and WorldStyle decorating expert. When the user selects a desired paint scheme, the interactive tool suggests how much paint will be needed for a given application, and provides easy online ordering of the paints, with free and fast delivery. To help further the use of paint as a decorating tool and eliminate common issues that face the do-it-yourself decorator in the paint selection process, helpful articles written by Amy Becker and the PuertaBella.com decorating staff are integrated throughout the YourColor interactive tools.
