Any good designer will tell you that color is highly important to interior design. Little do people know that there are some color combinations that can instantly change a space and make it look ten thousand times better.
So, here are some of the best color combinations to spruce up your home’s décor.
Forest Green + Light Grey
During the mid-19th century, green was one of the most popular colors used for interiors and fashion. However, the real turning point occurred during the Victoria era when Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele created a new innovative shade of green that earned great success. Green is a color that reminds you of nature and therefore, it always evokes feelings of peace, rest, security and refreshment. While bright shades are widely used to make fresh statements, dark forest green is often neglected. There is this general assumption that this shade might create a sense of gloom in the interior.
However, when combined with light grey, forest green will bring a sense of harmony to your interiors. In fact, this color combination is having a moment right now in home design due to its beautiful impact. Forest green is a bold and quite dark shade and when packed with neutrals like light gray, it adds an interesting edge to the overall home décor.
This color combination is a nice balance of bold hues with neutrals and can be incorporated into any room of the house. In addition, if you are thinking of upgrading your home décor to a rustic, farmhouse or bohemian style, this palette will be just the right choice for your interiors.
Black + Navy + Beige
Chic and elegant, blue navy is the favorite color of a million of people all over the world. This color is favored because it represents both the sea and the sky at the same time. This very dark and mystic shade of blue is quite a versatile color and can be paired wonderfully with different tints and shades of purples, greens, reds, yellows and even oranges.
When dark blue is combined with classic or inky black, the color combination can project an air of sophistication. But, when a neutral is added to these two versatile shades, a new contemporary look is created.
Homeowners love the elegance of navy blue, the power of black and the simplicity of beige. So, when these hues are mixed together, it adds a unique depth to a space.
It is also important to note that this color scheme is often chosen for living rooms, family rooms and kitchens.
Black + Red
Red is a vivid color that symbolizes intense emotions, while black is the darkest of all colors and yet fascinates the human eye. Black is a very common color used in arts because of its ability to represent opposing ideas like rebellion and conformity or authority and humility. Unlike other dark colors, black can keep a space from being too stark and enhance it with a bold and chic vibe. Now, when this bold color is merged with red, an out-of-this-world combination is formed.
Black and red are rising trends in interior design. The color palette looks so intriguing and offers such flexibility that it can be used on walls or the floor.
“Any touch of color against black –preferably high-glossed black –makes for a winning combination,” Jonathan Rachman of Jonathan Rachman Design says. “I love pairing it with red, because it’s bold yet soft, and definitely a statement! There are so many shades of black, but for me it’s blackest of the black possible that I love the most, such as Benjamin Moore Black,” he continues.
Yellow + Grey
Who would have thought that yellow could be perfectly paired with grey?
There are different variations of the color grey, but most of them can only pull off a minimalist look. However, when paired with the color of the sun, yellow can lift the vibe of the muted grey tones. This pair is a happy and peaceful color scheme that can easily grab your attention with its hope and positivity.
