Khaki

Designer Garrow Kedigian defines a neutral as "anything that isn't jarring," which is a super helpful way to reframe things if cream, white, or gray simply isn't cutting it in your living room and you can't figure out why. Certain spaces just call for something outside the box, whether it's because of an architectural style, light exposures, or existing furniture. Here, the walls are painted Benjamin Moore's Rattan.

The combination of colors in the interior - how to combine colors, examples from the photo

The walls are the background that sets the atmosphere of the house, so the choice of color is a responsible matter. Repainting / regluing is a rather laborious and not very pleasant process. Therefore, many fears and doubts are born. What if the interior is too dark/cold/bright/sterile?

As a result, most people settle for the most "safe" and proven option. Most often it is “beige” (What? Warm color, goes with everything). How to stop being afraid of color and how to make a beautiful interior in your favorite colors? What are the rules for color combinations? Let's figure it out. Color will help us.

A bit of theory

The color wheel model, designed by the Swiss artist Johannes Itten, will be an excellent cheat sheet in the selection of a harmonious color solution. The Itten circle consists of 12 parts. This is a table of three primary colors (red, yellow, blue), three additional (composite) colors, which are formed by mixing the primary (green, purple, orange) and six tertiary colors, which are formed by combining the primary with additional ones. All colors can be divided into cold and warm.

Neutral colors (black, white, gray, ivory, brown, beige) are included in a separate category. They go well with other colors from the circle, as well as with each other. Use them as a background for other colors (for example, you can make walls in neutral shades, but bring color into the interior with furniture, textiles or bright posters) or add accessories in neutral tones to “dilute” the main color a little.

How does it work?

It's very simple. There are only six canonical schemes (selections) of color combinations in the interior. Let's look at them with examples.

1. Analog triad

This is the simplest and "safest" option. 3 consecutive colors are taken from the palette. Use shades of these colors in interior design and you are guaranteed a calm, beautiful interior.

2. Complimentary combination

Complementary colors are colors that are at diametrically opposite ends of the circle. One of the colors will be the main, contrasting color, you can emphasize the details of the interior. If you are afraid that it will be too bright, dilute the room with neutral colors to a level that is comfortable for you personally.

3. Contrasting triad

It looks like a complementary combination, only two neighboring sectors are added to one of the colors. Decorate the apartment in these colors, and leave the contrast for small interesting details. Or, on the contrary, make one color the main one, and use the other two, closer ones, for accents.

4. Classical triad

This is a more complicated version. A combination of three colors equidistant on a circle. Here, one color is usually taken as the basis. The other two are used for accents. If you are afraid that it will come out too colorful, dilute it with neutral colors “to taste”.

5. Rectangular/square pattern

Use two pairs of contrasting colors. It is important not to overdo it, otherwise the interior may turn out to be colorful. It would be more correct to choose one main color and three additional ones.

The square scheme is a variation of the rectangular scheme, but the colors used in it are located in a circle at an equal distance from each other.

This scheme is not for everyone. Interiors with a large number of colors are bright, interesting, but eventually tiring. This approach is a good way to design oriental or boho style interiors.

Could it be easier?

Possible. If combinations from the circle are still intimidating, the easiest and safest option is to choose one color and combine it with neutral companions. It will turn out simple, stylish, minimalistic and modern.

Dark-light

We finally decided on the colors. But how to choose the right tone? Dark? Light coloured? And how to combine them? Shade compatibility depends on the task.

You can, for example, take selected colors of very light tones. The interior will be light and delicate. This is a great solution for children's design.

And you can use the most saturated colors. This will make the room bright, atmospheric, inspiring and energizing, so this option is not very suitable for the bedroom. There it is better to use more calm tones.

And you can take one or more soft shades and one - saturated. Colors "work" together, complementing and emphasizing each other. Against the background of delicate pastel colors, a bright color will sound in a completely new way. Try it!

Color combination in the kitchen

Warm colors are best for the kitchen. For example, orange, yellow and red - they improve mood and improve appetite. They can be used as an accent on one of the walls, an apron, and also on appliances, furniture and accessories. Neutral white, beige, gray and black work well as companions for such bright, cheerful shades.

If the kitchen windows face south, it is better to refuse too warm tones, as they increase the feeling of heat and stuffiness. Pay attention to the no less winning combination of brown and green. It creates a cozy atmosphere and makes us a little closer to nature.

The combination of colors in the bedroom

The color scheme of the bedroom should help you relax and sleep sweetly after a hard day. Pastel colors are the best. Pay attention to such colors as milky, gray, sand, chocolate, gold, delicate lilac, blue, pink and turquoise, which can be harmoniously combined with each other.

Bathroom color combination

The bathroom is where we start and end our day. Here it is important to find a balance and choose a color scheme that will invigorate and delight in the morning, and relax and soothe in the evening. The most popular solutions are: white with blue or blue, white with beige and gray, white with chocolate. But it is better to avoid green - in the bathroom it will be associated with mold and dampness.

As a rule, the footage of the bathroom is not large, so you should give up the abundance of too dark or bright colors that visually reduce the space. Instead, there are light and muted shades with a couple of catchy accents.

There are millions of successful combinations for a cozy and beautiful home. Bright, juicy, tender, airy, inspiring, bewitching. Do not be afraid! Experiment! Even if suddenly the chosen color on the walls does not turn out to be ideal, this can be fixed. Choose accessories in the right color or “dilute” with large accents of neutral tones. Use the tips in this article and surround yourself with your favorite color. It's better than "beige", right?

Color is a powerful tool in creating coziness. Beautiful interiors are inconceivable without a harmonious combination of shades. How to choose a palette so that you feel comfortable, can relax after a busy day, and wake up in the morning, full of strength?

How to choose a color?

There are many different theories about which paint to use for certain rooms. At the same time, you yourself decide in which color scheme you feel better.

For example, there are people who love their houses decorated in black, red and white. And for some, this combination has a negative effect, because it increases blood pressure and provokes the release of adrenaline.

[adinserter block="2"]

The first question a designer asks his clients is: “What is your favorite color?” And if family members cannot come to a consensus, the specialist tries to make friends with their favorite shades in a single combination and find compromises that suit customers.

How do you know which color you like more than many others? Just choose any image that is pleasing to your eyes. With the help of special services, for example, Bighugelabs, you can determine the palette of each image and photograph.

This will mix the shades and give an average result of three or five tones. You can see the accents in the original picture and use these colors in the interior.

If you don't find anything suitable, you can use the color wheel. Online services like Colorscheme help you find harmonious combinations for monochrome, contrast and accent palettes. In this case, you can change the degree of lightness of the main tone, darkening or brightening it.

For example, if your base color is chocolate and you want to use 5 different colors, then 65% will take the base tone.

In our case, it will be on the sofa, wardrobe and armchair. A gentle turquoise on the walls will be a companion to him. And as an accent, use orange pillows and curtains. At the same time, a delicate toffee in the form of parquet will appear on the floor. And the cherry on the cake will be mint or mustard greens in the form of a discreet bouquet.

Style and color

Each style has its own palette, from which you should not deviate. Bringing, for example, neon colors into a classic interior, you will get kitsch on the verge of bad taste.

Physiologically, a person evaluates the environment as safe and stable when the darkest shade is under the feet, the middle tones are at eye level, and sky-white shades extend overhead.

At the same time, modern interiors show that designers like to play pranks and turn everything upside down. Therefore, we can find chocolate and even black stretch ceilings over beige and white floors.

So, before you is a style sheet and color schemes. Yellow, green, red, orange, black, white, purple Study, living room, teen room, kitchen Neutral. Suitable for a calm pastime Black AD deco, Modern, Loft, Minimalism Violet, White, Golden, Red, Orange Large living room visually reduces the space of the same Red Modern, minimalism, provence White, grey, purple, brown, black, red, blue Spacious living room, children's room Reminiscent of summer, sun, uplifting.

If observed recommendations from designers and use color palettes according to style, you will always win. Use the color wheel in situations where you are in doubt about the choice of one or another element of the interior. And better - entrust the creation of the project to the masters. In this case, your home is guaranteed to be decorated with taste and in full accordance with the chosen style.

Rules for choosing colors for floors, walls, furniture and ceilings

So, we figured out which color goes with which. Next, we will dwell on the objects that are present in each room, we will understand the principles of using certain shades.

Floor

There are a few unwritten rules to keep in mind when choosing a floor color scheme.

Walls

Walls can be made in absolutely any color. Depending on the purpose of the room used, it can be active, passive or neutral.

Active colors are an accent. They are combined either with the opposite bright color, or less bright, calm.

Pastel colored walls are a popular solution. They play the role of the background of the main view of the room. In this case, you can use any floor, furniture, ceiling. Since this is a universal option.

Ceiling

Ceiling is most often chosen in white or light shades. Since it is a universal color and can be combined with any furniture, ceiling, floor. May be matte or glossy. If you want to add contrasts, then it is better to add a rich color to the walls or interior items. Can be used in any room.

If the choice fell on a dark ceiling, then it is worth considering a few nuances:
