Colors can transform space and create the right atmosphere. But to do this, you will have to choose the right color palette that will create a harmonious effect.
In order to be able to choose the ideal color palette, it is necessary to take into account some nuances.
Basics
To choose the perfect color palette with harmonious shades in a color scheme that reflects the mood you want to create in the room, you need to understand the basics.
To be able to combine colors, you need to understand their undertones. If you choose colors with different undertones, they will not harmonize with each other, so they will seem dull and disharmonious.
The easiest way to determine a halftone is to place the chosen shade next to its actual color. Everything is known by comparison. For example, white may appear bluish in comparison because it has a blue tint.
What to look for
Colors affect people, so you should consider what effect you want. For a calm atmosphere, choose monochromatic colors. For an energetic one, choose bright and contrasting colors.
Windows play a primary role in choosing a color scheme. First of all, you need to figure out where the light source is located and how strong it is.
If the windows face south and are not shaded by trees or nearby buildings, then there is a lot of light in the room. In this case, you can choose darker shades for the decoration and furniture, as the room will be very light.
If the windows are north-facing, there is little light in the room, and dark colors will absorb it. In this case, it is better to choose light shades so that the room looks more spacious and bright.
Neutral colors are universal, but they can be very boring. To avoid this effect, you should dilute the interior with materials of different textures. For example, a neutral color scheme can be created by using different textures (wood, stone, wool, leather, suede, ceramics, linen, silk).
Works of art complement neutral interiors well.
When creating your own interior design, remember: there is no right or wrong color.
It's all about personal preferences. The most perfect color combinations can be found in nature, where the riot of colors is sometimes simply amazing, and unusual combinations surprise with their balance and harmony.
