The color scheme in the interior - solutions from designers

There are whole theories about the laws of color, harmonious combination, but it is not necessary to know them all to create a harmonious and relevant design. Time monotonous solutions and standard recommendations have passed. The compatibility of several tones is the key to an interesting, memorable interior. The main rule of choice of colors in the interior of each room is to focus only on your own tastes. Learn the secret of using favorite colors and win-win combinations. Photo examples will add specifics, proving that among the many solutions there is an ideal for an apartment or house.

Error No ...

Assessing the possibilities and goals of the room, it is worth considering whether to make the favorite color the main one. The design that looked spectacular in the photo may become annoying if you observe it daily. Exposure of well-being, appetite to the influence of the environment has long been proven. Therefore, saturated colors are not recommended for the bedroom, nursery. But do not follow the settings contrary to the desires. Of course, the share of psychology is present, but if purple does not seem gloomy - feel free to use.

But before you find the perfect range, you should understand where the danger lurks. It is better to learn from the color errors of others' interiors, to avoid:

• Fully monochrome interiors, especially white - boring, trite.
• Lighting affects the shade - you need to choose and think over at the same time.
• All surfaces are important in the color scheme: the floor and the ceiling are two planes, always visible.
• Like bright colors - diluted with neutral (white, gray, their variations), but without unnecessary contrast, crushing, complex forms.
• All surfaces of the same color, but different textures, look different, sometimes changing shade, as a result of not combining with each other.

Council Do not neglect the samplers of materials, fabrics, to evaluate on the spot when comparing the area, lighting at different times of the day.

Use white: easy or not?

Sometimes a suitable color scheme lies on the surface, will seem attractive to fans of the Scandinavian style and not only. Smooth white walls, the ceiling is an ideal background, quite budget, allowing you not to be mistaken with compatibility.

Stand out:

• colored furnishings;
• significant accessories, decor.

A duet of white with any color is an application for success. But the attractiveness can be spoiled: bright art objects will become dull, the room - lifeless. For maximum expressiveness it is necessary:

• plenty of light, preferably natural;
• south room;
• The evening light is warm for a pleasant atmosphere.

Time-tested or new?

It is logical to replace the main color with shades of white, which are many, or extremely light, neutral, tones of beige, gray, sand. Adding pigments during tinting changes the original tone for optimal results. Use too many pastel, powdery shades in one room without contrasts - the risk of getting an expressionless room.

The beige rooms are of course very comfortable, although they are considered obsolete. It is usually chosen for living rooms, seeking a relaxed atmosphere. But if you want a simple color solution, but not a banal one, a gray type is gaining popularity.

It fits equally well:

• monochrome colors;
• tree;
• technological filling room;
• any metal that takes up more and more space in the interior.

Suitable styles from modern to classic. It sounds quite elegant with pink, purple - the elegant atmosphere of the bedroom. Gray kitchens with a mint companion, real greens are not standard solutions.

Rarely the interior is selected to a specific subject. Most often choose a primary color that will dominate, occupying the maximum area.

Golden harmony

There is a fairly well-known method that designers have learned to apply to the quantitative combination of colors in the interior. Applicable to any room at home. According to the adapted Pareto rule, the space occupied by three specific colors is divided by the formula: 60:30:10. The usual color wheel is used.

The largest part is assigned to the background surfaces - a calm shade, as diluted as possible or, on the contrary, saturated. For example, favorite blue - as the main, looks like:

• pastel pale blue - occupies a maximum of space;
• dark blue - the accent wall, the author's items of furniture, and the rest of the side background - white.

The next figure is brighter areas (possibly furniture, curtains). Small proportion - accents with pure color. Everything is actively diluted, complemented by an achromatic trio (gray, white, black), making the space more interesting, whole.

When the main color is selected, the second proportion should occupy the adjacent position, and the accent color should be opposite on the circle. Alternative, second scheme: the selected colors form a triangle in a circle, differing in intensity, depth.

The table of ready-made interesting combinations will help you to choose the color range with thin proportions, similar to the difficult work of the pros. A simple combination of two accent colors in the same quantity (50/50) will not give such a result, because then paints will have to compete for attention.

Finished result

There is an interesting move that violates the unwritten law: no more than 3 colors in one room. The basic proportions are somewhat compressed to allow the fourth color to try its hand, to make the interior not trivial, but harmonious. Variations: a bright small item of unrecorded color, adding beige to white when finishing surfaces. The dosage of the 4th color in the resulting quartet: 1-2 small objects.

Council Doubt some selected tones - use for decor items that are easily replaced.

Sometimes associations are taken as a basis: ready-made palettes help. It is necessary to trust the intuition, focus on a pleasant impression, choosing the combination you like. Usually consist of five gamma color tones with different saturation.

The palest ones are selected for large interior objects; dark, saturated - micro accents. For example, beige-orange with brown and purple. There are calm palettes, with natural shades of green-blue on a beige-brown background.

Individual approach

A non-standard course is proposed: select the color scheme of the interior, based on its appearance. Pretty extravagant way to like:

• free young owners and owners;
• couples starting a life together, the newlyweds;
• everyone who does not plan to change anything;
• who views their appearance based on the theory of color types.

Such a cardinal approach does not negate the knowledge of color compatibility, if performed independently, it is especially difficult to pick up right away for 2 owners. Therefore, the choice of a neutral background and a pair of colorful, favorite colors will be enough.

If the tastes of the owners do not come to a common denominator, then recommend a method of assignment. Choosing a compromise color for the bedroom instead of the beloved - you risk getting a room that no one likes. If instead of a combination of blue and green to take turquoise - you get an average result instead of the best, no chance to enjoy the desired color.

Color Trends

Bold owners make the interior fashionable, using trend colors recommended by colorist professionals.

It is worth taking a closer look - they were not in vain appreciated for their versatility and diversity:

• Blue - Scandinavian, Mediterranean with fashionable saturated shades of almost warm color. A special shade of the year - Niagara.
• Marsala - modern kitchen, luxurious retro bedroom.
• Delicate greens - the recommended combinations for micro accents are also strong: yellow, purple.

Black and white interiors are unlikely to become less popular, although designers are threatening that the trend is leaving. But thoughtful, refined use will allow any room to look spectacular due to the most natural contrast. Even a bath, which is usually deprived of sunlight, is transformed, compared to the usual beige design, which makes it dull.

Using these easy rules, there will be no opportunity to miss with the compatibility of colors. Dilute the interior with bright colors, and then the color of the interior will make life more positive.
