8 Tips For Harmonious Color Design When Setting Up



Balancing and combining colors is not that difficult - if you follow these principles
The color scheme in your apartment was previously limited to a few colorful pillows against a neutral background? This is about to change, you just do not know yet, how? We give tips on how to find the perfect color tone for your own interior and show what is important so that the colors in the room create a harmonious overall picture.
1. Give the color space
you want to make a statement with bright colors? Then do not drive it too colorful! Because strong colors need a strong partner who supports and carries their radiance. Glowing colors attract all eyes, but in the long run they can be tiring. Balances and support are provided by muted colors and neutral tones such as white, gray or black.
In this Mondrian-inspired study, the two colored fields structure the entire space. How magically does the red niche in the wall attract the viewer. This works so well because the white wall around the eye visually offers no distraction and the red brings it to full advantage.
2. Find the right dose
For a harmonious overall picture, in addition to choosing the right color partner, it is important to have a harmonious quantitative ratio of intense to restrained colors. To prevent the aforementioned signs of fatigue, use bright colors in relatively small amounts.
A deep blue velvet sofa, a red armchair - together with the colorful library in itself a striking combination. In spite of everything, this Canadian living room of the Casey Design Planning Group looks elegant . A neutral and not too bright gray tone on the walls restores balance and makes the colors shine without becoming too colorful.
3. Set Priorities
Concentrate on one tone or color contrast per room, otherwise the set-up will quickly become cluttered and visual discord will appear. Other colors should be subordinate to the main accent or contrast.
The dominant color contrast in this room is clearly the Louis Poulsen luminaires and the lush blue wall behind them. The light blue sofa looks like a soft echo on the wall color, while neutral shades on the floor and wall provide peace and balance.
4. Create contrasts and connections
Without contrasts, a space remains inconspicuous and faceless. Without connecting elements, on the other hand, a color combination quickly becomes simply colorful. That is why the most important basic rule in color design is: create opposites and connecting elements.
Whether light-dark, warm-cold, pure-clouded or complementary colors - a harmonious color sound is created only by a connecting element that has to be found. You have three variables that you can use to juggle: the color direction, the brightness, and the purity of the colors you use. For example, if you use a strong light-dark contrast, the connecting element in your color design can be either a uniform basic color or a comparable opacity or purity of the different colors. Conversely, when the color contrast is strong, the colors should either have the same purity level or be equal in brightness.
5. Look for successful color combinations
You need support? Harmonious color compositions can be found everywhere: in nature, in architecture, in design or the visual arts. All this can help you to find your own perfect color harmony. This is a collector's instinct. Keep your eyes open and collect successful color compositions wherever you run and fall in your way. A beautiful photo, an ad in your favorite magazine, the existing carpet or a painting - you can use all this as a direct color template in the design. If you stick to the above mentioned principles when using the respective colors, not much can go wrong.
6. Align yourself to the sun
Colors always look different depending on the light conditions. Therefore, when choosing the color, pay attention to the position of your rooms towards the sun. Here's the rule of thumb: north-facing rooms can handle warm color combinations well, south-facing and sun-drenched rooms do something good with cooler color combinations.
And, aside from the dark rumble corners: include the proportions and size of your room in the choice of colors so you can make visual corrections.
7. Give color a function
Which room would you like to color? The room function can help you to find the perfect color harmony. So you should prefer quiet and mild color sounds in the sleeping area, while the color composition for the living room may be a bit stronger. And the watery blue and green tones in this bathroom of a Bremen country house of the DT + P architects and engineers invite you directly into the freestanding bathtub under the gable ...
8. Choose a root
and where do I start? As a concrete starting point for a successful color scheme, it is best to choose a basic tone. Conveniently, it can already be found in the floor, in the fabric cover of your sofa or perhaps on one of the pictures you want to hang in your room. Starting from this basic tone, you are now looking for the possibilities of contrasts and connections already described above.
Probably formed in this Canadian living room, the two colorful images on the right and left of the television, the starting point of the design. The strong violet of the upholstered stool adds a darker shade to it, while the turquoise cushions stand in stark contrast to it.
