“Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.”
– Wassily Kandinsky, Painter
Colour is one of the most powerful forms of expression. A Colour scheme can make or break a space so choosing the right shade is an important task as it dictates which of the infinite home decor aesthetics fits perfectly reflects our own. To simplify the diverse world of shades, colour is sometimes divided into two categories: warm and cool tones. Warm tones include colours such as red, rust, and yellow. These colours exude warmth, comfort, and cosiness. On the other end of the spectrum are cool tones such as blue, green, and purple lend soothing and tranquillity to the space.
When choosing a colour palette for your space, there are two approaches that you could take.The first option is to pick two colours that lie on the opposite spectrum of the colour wheel. For instance, one could opt for two bold colour choices, such as blue and yellow, or a mellower combination of blue and white. Be mindful to sprinkle in a few neutrals like white, grey, or beige when working with bold colour schemes.
The second choice is to pick a monochromatic look. This style has quickly picked up momentum in the realm of home décor. Pick a single colour for the entire space, for a stunning look. Variations in shades of the colour are the best way of bringing in depth, complexity, and dimension.
