Comfortable and stylish housing is not just upholstered furniture and household appliances. It is important to consider a harmonious color scheme.

It is not always possible for specialists to determine it. But if you follow wise advice, even a beginner can handle it.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to choose a color scheme for an apartment or house.

You often hear that there are fashionable colors, but many designers believe that personal preference should be the starting point, and then fashion.

First, look for inspiration

Color in the interior should inspire, even if there are no creative people in the house.

As a basis, you need to take the colors that already dominate in the room or in the house, in the wardrobe, or simply your favorite colors and shades.

Secondly, the color wheel will help

This is a simple trick to help you choose colors that go well together.

The main thing is not the number of colors, but their combination with each other.

Thirdly, lighting

It is important to pay attention to lighting. It is mainly necessary to evaluate the possibility of natural lighting, as well as the temperature of artificial sources.

The point is that the color rendering will change with the change in lighting, and with it the mood.

And one more important point

Designers use the concept of "circadian rhythms." In simple terms, the rooms where people spend most of their time during the day should be light.

And the rooms where people spend time at night are darker.
