You know how when you walk in a space and it just feels right? There may be a number of reasons why this occurs. Among the more important reasons is the story of this space.
Color plays such an important function in the psychology of a room. It’s not always about the particular color, but about the way in which the color is used. The human brain is quite good at picking up inconsistency. And if something is heavily incongruous, the brain does not always understand how to process what it’s detecting.
A powerful and consistent color story goes a very long way to how a room feels. And it’s something relatively easy to do on your own. Pick one color or several and follow these suggestions to get your brain feel better.
DIVA INTERIOR CONCEPTS
To create a one-color strategy, start with a great impartial. This charcoal-gray space is a great background for tennis-ball yellow. The heat of this yellow-green plays (ha!) Perfectly with the neutral grey tone, displaying the playfulness. I say “experts!”
Space Harmony
Work in layers of neutrals with splashes of color for a sophisticated palette. It’s almost like I took the playful nature of the previous image, added some additional neutral tones and made a sleek and contemporary living space. The soft beams and taupe tones (cool tones) match and show off the lettuce green highlights.
TILTON FENWICK
For a bold color story, use neutrals to tone large swatches of your own color. This one takes a little explanation. In the two preceding examples, the neutral tones were utilized as the base color, with splashes of an accent color. This chamber flips that notion on its head.
The cheerful blue wall covering and accents would be the real story here. The headboard and crisp bed linens tame the blue-ness of this space into something cozy and inviting.
Rossington Architecture
Start with a statement and work your way out from there. This concept falls under one of my favourite sayings, “Go bold or move home.” The lime green tile wall sets the stage with this particular bathroom. Small traces of green elsewhere carry the color throughout, enhancing the color story.
BAAN layout
Use color to distinguish spaces. Within this open floor plan, the skies blue dining seats clearly coordinate, yet delineate this space as being different from the living room space. The kitchen has been given its own color in the island pendant lights and counter tops.
Notice that the one color that is consistent throughout the three spaces is whitened. This keeps it contemporary and cohesive at precisely the exact same moment.
Tracery Interiors
Feel free to go bold — just be consistent. What a great gift to your children: their own den. This cheerful and bright space is splashed with summery, joyful colors. Two colors of blue, apple green and a sophisticated magenta tone are perfect for all of the children. The four colors are used in many ways all around the space, ensuring it’s not too choppy.
The Cape Cod
Reconsider a traditional mix. Black and white is one of the most classic and sought after color pairings. In this highly graphic room, reddish rolls are sprinkled around, which makes this room’s color story powerful and vibrant.
Adeeni Design Group
Consider the color of substances in your overall scheme. When we think of creating a color story, it normally comes in paint colors, fabrics and artwork. However, the wealth of materials available in today’s design world supplies us with a lot of different colors that could play an important function. The warm-orange tones of the wood match the wall shade perfectly, bringing a serene fall-like feeling for this dining room.
Design Shop Interiors
Use colors of the same color to create a softer color story. This sweet and sophisticated woman’s room is bathed in a rose pink and highlighted with a deep magenta tone in lighting and accessories. The usage of these two tones, combined with white, creates a striking blend of the same color.
