Mini cheat sheet for choosing colors for the living room. 5 win-win combinations
The color of the interior, in my opinion, is the most important decision you need to make before renovating. After all, the situation should look fashionable, but not colorful, bright, but not pretentious, stylish, but not defiant. But how not to make a mistake? There are a lot of colors, and shades - a million!
Good afternoon dear friends!
When determining a color combination, it is advised to use compatibility tables and a color wheel. However, this method is too complicated. After all, you will have to choose not only the color of the walls, floor and ceiling, but also the entire environment (and furniture, and accessories, and textiles, and decor). And here there is a high risk of eventually creating an interior that is too colorful or, conversely, an interior that is too boring.
To make it easier for you, I have put together 5 examples of color combinations that can be used in the living room:
1. Sage and ocher.
A sophisticated combination of grey-green and muted orange. Together, these colors look very unusual, perfectly shading each other. The saturation of the shades, of course, choose based on the amount of light in the room. If there is little light, then opt for blurry, muted tones. Well, if there is enough lighting, then you can experiment and choose bright shades.The only thing I would recommend! The ceiling is best painted in classic white. This trio of colors will add style and elegance to your living room!
2. Blue and white. Mediterranean classics - enveloping blue and dynamic white. The beauty of the blue and white combination will not leave anyone indifferent. After all, thanks to her, every time you enter the living room, you will mentally move yourself a little closer to the sea. By the way, this color combination is suitable for both the living room, where it is customary to relax, and for the work area.
When decorating a room, you can use both rich dark blue tones and those shades that are closer to blue. Choose a color that makes you feel more comfortable.
3. Gray and brown. As a rule, it is customary to use only one of these colors in the design. Since both of them are basic and neutral. But they can also be combined. For example, make the walls brown or beige, and choose furniture and accessories in light gray. This combination will suit both modern and traditional decor. You can use copper, bronze or brass lamps, wicker baskets and live indoor plants, and put ordinary dry branches collected in the park in a vase. Natural wood in its natural form will also look good in this interior.
Just keep in mind that a very small number of other colors are combined with a gray-brown gamut. It will be very difficult to harmoniously fit such an interior with blue, pink or red details.
4. Pure black. The idea to decorate the living room in black hardly came to your mind. But it is black that can make an ordinary room elegant and filled, bewitching. "Dress" the walls in black. But the floor, ceiling, furniture, all accessories and decor should be light and stand out against a dark background. Thanks to this combination of colors, the interior will become lively and dynamic.
Black walls look especially stylish and sophisticated in living rooms with large windows through which it is filled with natural light.
5. Yellow and blue. This is another win-win option for decorating the living room. This combination in the interior looks sunny and playful. And it doesn’t matter if you use bright saturated shades or pastel colors. Both colors are suitable for walls, furniture, decor.
But still, I advise you to dilute the yellow-blue combination with white. It will “calm down” both colors, give the interior calmness and grace.
