"    &amp;quot;The easiest way to break out of an all-neutral safety zone and embrace color is to take baby steps. Infuse color into your room slowly so you have a chance to warm up to it. Add it to create meaningful focal points as we did in Dexter&amp;#039;s dining room,&amp;quot; notes Amy Lau. &amp;quot;Treat this like a process. It&amp;#039;s all about identifying the right colors, so over a couple of months, tear out magazine photos and study the art in your home. Find out what colors attract you. I also like to go into clients&amp;#039; closets to gauge their comfort zone with color and pattern. The biggest clues in the world are a man&amp;#039;s neckties.
