DESIGNER TRICKS FOR PICKING A PERFECT COLOR PALETTE

Choosing a color palette for interior design is probably the one thing we get asked the most about. And it is quite understandable since the harmony of a color palette prevails to give style to an interior.

Deciding on a color palette should always be one of the first steps you take when decorating a space. It’s going to help you decide what furniture you should get and the kind of ambiance you want the room to feel like. It will also give you a thread that will help you keep things consistent throughout the whole process.

Interior color choices are highly subjective, which means there’s no right or wrong way to select a color scheme for your space.

The following tips on choosing an interior color scheme will help you fill rooms with shades that beautifully reflect your personal style :

1. Which room(s) are you decorating?
2. Think about how you want the room to feel like
3. Find inspiration
4. Pay attention to lighting
5. Letting your view inspire you; look through your windows

You can find four distinct color schemes to choose from:

Monochromatic: uses different tones of the same color across the room. You can have a dark blue wall, paired with soft blue sofas, and art in pale sky blue, for example.

Analogous: here, you use colors that appear next to each other on the color wheel. For example, yellows can be used with greens or orange to create a colorful and soothing color palette for your home.

Contrast: as you’d imagine, here, you use contrasting colors, usually opposite to one another on the color wheel—for example, greens with blues or reds with purples.

Complementary: at last, you have colors that naturally complement each other. They can create a more dramatic look. For example, blue against orange is a popular complementary color.
