Combination of colors in interior design. Contrasting and harmonious couples


I recently resumed my drawing and painting lessons, and I want to tell you about color combinations. In any situation when it comes to color, there are good and bad combinations of shades. Whether it's a manicure or clothes, a drawn card or even a home renovation, it's always important to choose a beautiful and interesting color combination.

With regard to clothing, this is even more important, if you can paint your house and your favorite bedroom in any shades you like, and invite only loved ones there, then clothing is the most important social tool that allows us to form the first opinion about each other, and therefore we cannot allow your clothes said the wrong thing about you. How to choose good shades and find interesting pairings? What are the rules about this? How to choose any tones with shine?

A little theory

The easiest way to choose the right shade is to use a color wheel. It is divided into 12 sectors and represents the primary colors. Also, each sector is graduated from light (in the center) to dark (along the edge). What can we deduce from this circle?
  1. White harmonizes with absolutely any tone and makes it brighter.
  2. Black will help dilute any ensemble and at the same time give it depth.
  3. Complementary and similar color neighborhoods are visible.
  4. You can derive triads, tetrads and squares.
What is a complementary pair? These are colors that are located opposite each other on the color wheel. Red and green, blue and orange, purple and yellow. In order not to miss, it is best to choose shades that are equal in lightness and saturation - equidistant sectors from the center.


This good combination, and most often it is used by many clothing lines - they produce the same models in complementary shades, and then if you buy a purple blouse, you can always choose a pistachio skirt to go with it (and vice versa).

Similar pairs- those that stand next to each other on the color wheel. Such pairs are often found in architectural compositions. Surely you have seen when a house is painted light lemon, and the architectural elements - slopes and cornices, balustrades and architraves - are green. This solution is also found very often in accessories - for example, it is much easier to find yellow shoes with orange trim than yellow ones with blue or purple.

Triads, tetrads and squares are patterns that are drawn according to a special shape on the color wheel. For a triad it is a triangle, for a tetrad it is a rectangle, and a square speaks for itself.


Look at different color wheels to understand the principle, and you will never go wrong in choosing the right shade.

Neutral

Neutral colors are called black, white and gray - they go with almost everything and look good together. However, it should also be taken into account that a person dressed in black or gray from head to toe is bad manners; monochrome outfits have long become a sign of bad taste. In the summer, it is appropriate to be dressed in white from head to toe, but here accessories can help maintain brightness - a bag, shoes, bright decorations and details.

Any combination of gray should be well balanced. As a rule, fabrics or accessories of a pure gray shade are rarely found on sale; most often the color has a cold or warm undertone. Accordingly, when choosing color combinations with gray, you need to look at:

  • to the warmth of gray;
  • on the warmth of the selected color;
  • on the lightness of two shades and their compatibility.

Warmth of Gray

Gray can be warm or cool.


Warm shades are best combined with warm tones - yellow, orange, red, pink, crimson.

Cool gray looks perfect if you add blue, lilac, green or blue to it.

Warmth of the chosen color

Even yellow can be cold. It is best to choose those paints whose temperature corresponds to the main temperature of the color. Warm yellow and cool blue look good with cool gray.

Lightness

This is the position that the chosen color would occupy on a stretch from darkest to lightest. It is best if the gray does not compete with his partner. Can't choose? Choose the brightest shades or pastel shades, but it’s better to refrain from dark ones.







Warm

Warm colors on the color wheel range from yellow to violet. This is a pleasant range that lifts the mood and gives a feeling of warmth and light. However, choosing color pairs here is not so easy. Naturally, when I talk about the proximity of red or yellow, these are those combinations where the color I indicated is the main one (that is, it predominates visually).






















The best combination of red is with white, blue and black. These are pure shades that were worn by kings and queens; this range (without black) is represented on the Russian tricolor and the flags of other states. Use pure shades, and then you can definitely be confident in your choice.

The combination is interesting burgundy color with shades of blue and gray. In general, any berry tones will suit burgundy. But it is better to choose green tones with a cool undertone.


Great combination Brown with beige - you get a pleasant chocolate combination. Shades of cocoa and coffee, tea and milk, pastries and ivory - many color combinations with brown evoke thoughts of desserts.


Naturally, warm tones go well together - brown and light orange look great together, and the combination of red, orange and yellow was once ultra-fashionable.

Want to add some flair to the combination? Try complex tones. Combine brown with plum, beige and blackberry, warm inky and cool turquoise. Yes, don't forget about the combination of brown and mint color. The combination of mint and chocolate evokes thoughts of entertainment, pleasure and relaxation.


Do you like extravagance? Add some accessories in a deep shade - for example, cobalt blue will set off orange or pink well, and turquoise looks good against shades of yellow and green.

Cold

Cool colors are those from green to purple. These are shades of grass and water, cool and refreshing, they bring peace and tranquility. If you want to use cool shades in the interior, then it is best to give preference to bright, clean colors, the compatibility of which is very high with other colors.




























The best combination for the home is dark blue with white and red. Moreover, red should be a highlight, there should not be a lot of it, but it’s better not to skimp on blue.

My favorite shade is turquoise, also called turquoise and Tiffany's favorite shade. Turquoise color goes well with a variety of shades. You can choose warm pink and rich orange, which can beautifully set off the turquoise color. An interesting combination of turquoise shade is obtained with coral - the reddish-red palette emphasizes the turquoise color well.








It is also worth trying a combination of blue with cold yellow and light green tones, and blue will help to set off green tones. In general, the combination of green with yellow and blue is classic for spring and spring holidays, so try to find your own solutions in this color scheme (and don’t forget to look at color circle).


Try to pay more attention to the combination of green with other colors - this year the Panton company announced Greenery as the shade of 2017, so it would be a sin not to acquire a couple of green wardrobe items and buy some emerald jewelry for home. By the way, beautiful combinations You can choose colors with green online - the color palette will be created automatically.


Do you want to make interesting combinations? purple? Try light cool colors - lilac, pink, green. Don't like deep purple? Try lilac and lavender, and don't forget lilac.

The combination of colors in the interior allows you to make the room harmonious, and the use of a color wheel and table allows you to be confident in the choice of shades. When you want to make repairs, we already imagine overall picture result, but when selecting materials and furniture we begin to get lost and confused. Somewhere there is a cooler shade, but this one is not so rich. In this article I will give some tips on how to do without designers and correctly decide on the color scheme of a room.

A little theory, because it makes you understand the essence of the process and the basis of the design.

The entire variety of colors is divided into three groups:

  • Basic, the use of blue, red, yellow natural colors,
  • Secondary (we mix the main palette with each other, then we get purple, green, orange),
  • Tertiary (the result of mixing secondary shades with the main one).

There are also color combinations in the interior:

  • Monochrome: the use of a variety of shades of the same color (from pale pink to rich hot pink),




Color combination table and color wheel

Two hundred years ago, Goethe invented the color wheel, he looked through, different color, pieces of glass and wrote down my feelings. By the way, the results of his work are still used by designers, for example, that green is a neutral color.

Let's say you went to a designer store and bought color palette or found it in the interior. There are so many shades, how to choose? First, look at the tone incompatibility table.


First you need to decide on lightness (dilution of the main color with white and black) and saturation (mixing the main color with gray).

So, in order to harmoniously select shades, you need to take colors that are equivalent in lightness or saturation.

For this purpose, a color chart has been created, which is shown in the figure.


Vertically it shows the depth of saturation, and horizontally it shows lightness. It is important to choose either one line.

Example in the photo.


Which shades suit each other - diagrams

I suggest watching a video that talks in detail about lightness and color saturation.

Tips for choosing interior color shades

Before choosing a color scheme, let's answer two important questions:

What side of the world is outside the window?

What is the room used for?

So, if your window faces north, then you should add light, warmth and richness to the room, and not fill it with blue, thereby letting in the eternal gloomy north.


If sunlight shines through the windows all day, then you can take cool shades.



To visually give the room air space, you need to add cold light shades. When you have a small space, then an abundance of dark or lilac tones further reduces the space and gloominess.


If you find it difficult to combine colors, then take one color and choose complements with different saturation and texture.


The influence of color on the interior and our feeling in it

Color shades and mood are connected. Knowing how to correctly introduce color into the interior, you will get a cozy apartment.


A room with too much blue can feel cold.

Red causes nerve cells to become excited and tired, which leads to aggression.


By the way, studies have been conducted where people were placed in the same room, but under different lighting. So those on whom the blue light was shining tried to add heat and were freezing, and those on whom the red light was shining said that they were hot.

And in places Catering– use bright rich colors: Red Yellow. They catch your eye and invite you to enter, but they also encourage you to do everything faster, including eating and leaving faster. Therefore, some kind of fuss and constant movement is created in these places. And color played such a psychological trick.

Too much brown can cause depression.

A lot of gray in the design without dilution bright colors may cause despondency. Therefore, choose the right accents in your design. Often the walls are painted in all shades of beige, gray, and blue.

For example, a turquoise shade is perfectly muted by chocolate.


Gray with pink looks very gentle, as in the photo.


Combination of colors in the interior table: floor, ceiling, walls, furniture

All of the above applies more to walls and details. But the floor and ceiling are playing important function when creating the optical effect of a room.

The basic rule is always this: the floor is chosen to be the darkest, the ceiling – the lightest. We choose furniture that is darker than the walls and lighter than the floor.

A dark ceiling creates a feeling of pressure on the shoulders and a desire to bend down. Application of such color scheme allowed only in rooms with very high ceilings and light walls.


Furniture can be bright and rich, but the wall should be a background for it, so we take a lighter or less saturated shade. Or, conversely, with a dark wall, we choose light furniture and accessories that stand out against the general background.


We analyze errors in color combinations

In order not to be unfounded, you need to consider some unsuccessful interiors, where the owners forgot about harmony and a sense of proportion. So in the photo we see that the balance in saturation is not maintained: the green is clearly more diluted and cannot balance the bright lilac.


In the photo below, the lightness and saturation of the accessories were also not maintained. Yellow clearly dominates and hurts the eye. You need to choose a more diluted, cool shade of yellow.


In the following interior, the green is also too diluted and the furniture is too contrasting for these calm walls.


Below is an option when the overall harmony is spoiled by curtains. Too bright for this interior and immediately catches the eye.


Therefore, the main motto in choosing colors is: everything should be in moderation. I like it so much monochrome interiors, when one color produces a huge variety of derivatives and interesting options.

Welcome, dear reader!

Today we will tell you about everything related to the combination of colors in the interior.

Color is powerful energy. It influences a person every minute and interacts with his body. We can say that color surrounds us everywhere and everywhere.

"Introduction, explanation, comparison"

Color is an integral part environment. So he takes special place In human life.

Using examples, it looks like this: let’s say, as soon as the sun appears on the horizon, our mood immediately rises. What does the sun have to do with it, we all think together? And despite the fact that it has a color - yellow. Conclusion: yellow gives great mood. And therefore, it is associated with joy, warmth and light.

We dare to assume that many green color interpreted as a symbol of fertility (spring, grass, vegetation) or as a symbol of wealth (money). And white color creates a feeling of chastity, newness (angels, clouds) and innocence, purity (wedding dress).

But it is worth noting that in different times, V different countries and at different nations the meanings of the same color were interpreted differently. For example, in China, white symbolizes mourning and sadness. And in Egypt, yellow refers to mourning.

Following their personal color associations, people make a choice in favor of one color or another every day. It all starts with simple things such as selecting buttons, threads and fabric for a certain color of clothing and ends with more complex components - selecting a palette for painting or selecting furniture and wallpaper to match the chosen interior design.

Naturally, it is not enough to know the meaning and what it means and how it is perceived in a particular region. It is necessary to be able to combine any colors in a balanced manner.

So, from all of the above, we smoothly move on to the topic of this article: “Color combinations in the interior.”

How to choose correct colors? How not to overdo it with paints? How to correct existing color flaws in the interior?

First things first.

The first thing we do when entering a room is pay attention to the color. For some this happens consciously, for others on a subconscious level. To make it pleasant for the eyes to watch, and for the brain and body to rest comfortably, it is necessary to use harmonious colors and shades. No “screaming” or “heavy” palettes.

Which color option interior design would you choose?

FIRST or SECOND option?

The first interior example uses three colors that work well together. The second contains five colors that look very colorful and do not seem to combine perfectly.

To create a competent color scheme in the interior, they usually use a color wheel and a special table for the combination of colors in the interior. This is a kind of lifesaver both for professional artists and designers, and for novice amateurs.

“A couple of lines about the color wheel”

This universal tool, allowing you not to make mistakes in harmonious selection and color combinations in the interior.

A color scheme is usually divided into two halves – warm and cool.

The warm part includes colors such as yellow, orange, red and intermediate shades: yellow-orange, red-orange, yellow-green.

The cool half is green, blue, violet and transitional shades: blue-green, blue-violet and red-violet.

There are 10 color combinations on the color wheel:

1. Main (primary) colors

2. Composite (secondary) colors

3. Complex (tertiary) colors

4. Additional colors

5. Contrasting colors

6. Related colors

7. Related-contrasting colors

8. Monochromatic colors

9. Neutral colors

Yellow, Red and Blue are the colors of the first order. They form the basis of the circle. Having white, black and three primary colors, the artist can recreate all the other colors from the circle.

“A couple of lines about the color combination table”

The table of color combinations in the interior helps determine which colors and their shades combine most favorably and competently. The balance between colors and their shades is very important.

You can find many such tables on the Internet. In our article we used tables on color combinations from the book “Color. Encyclopedia (tips on color design your home)" by Anna Starmer.

Here is just a small part of the combined color mixing in the interior. Other examples can be found in a more detailed article on the color combination table.

Explanations for the tables:

Three vertical stripes in the picture (in each small rectangle) are the main colors of the background (the main color and its derivative shades - a little darker and a little lighter). The four horizontal stripes are those matching colors, with which it is best to combine the main ones. The caption under the picture is the name of the main color.


"Three approaches to harmonious

combination of colors in the interior"

1. Same type (mixing shades of the same color).

It results in a smooth transition from one shade to another. This “calm” color combination can be used in the bedroom.

The choice of colors is one of the most important stages in creating an interior. Color will affect your perception of the room and your attitude towards it, and your mood while you are in it. Color can also help adjust the shape of a space, expand or narrow it, raise ceilings, or make large furniture “invisible.” Let's talk about what colors can be combined with each other in the interior.

What colors go together in the interior?

I talked about the basic rules for using color when creating an interior: I recommend starting with it in order to at least understand the terms. Now let's talk about the types of color harmonies - useful diagrams choosing colors that complement each other.

It is important to say here that any colors can be combined with each other in one space, but the greater the divergence from standard schemes, the more effort will have to be made to achieve harmony. The same scheme can look completely different depending on the choice of shades and amount of color, so why complicate your life?

Monochrome harmony

The simplest approach is to choose one color and use it to its fullest. Of course, in different shades (mixed with white, black or gray) and in combination with achromatic colors. Note that if you have white walls and ceiling, a light wood floor and, for example, a blue sofa, this is no longer monochrome harmony. Light wood is a bleached yellow or yellow-orange color. But if the sofa is brown, obtained by darkening yellow, the room will be monochrome.

This harmony has a high risk of being boring, so it is used mainly in hallways and corridors or small rooms such as a toilet, bathroom, laundry room. It can also be found in very minimalist interiors. However, if you use many shades, it can get quite interesting.

Polar Harmony

This harmony is made up of two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. These colors are also called contrasting colors. It is believed that a combination of contrasting colors is perceived by our eyes the best way, we find it very harmonious. However, it is important to apply this harmony according to certain rules. Of the two colors, one should dominate; it can be used in a wide range of shades - from the lightest to almost black, including the brightest and purest color. The second color will be complementary: take a limited spectrum (light or dark shades) and use them in doses.


There is important rule: Be sure to use shades of the mixture of colors to build a connection between them. For example, in the polar harmony of blue and orange, mix these colors in different proportions. When mixed, for example, in a 1 to 1 ratio, you will get a dark brown color that you would not achieve by simply darkening the orange.


Mixing polar colors

In all the photos below there is a polar harmony of blue and orange.





Harmony of close colors (related)

For related harmony, select 4 colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. The only exception is the segment from yellow to red-violet; here it is permissible to take all these 5 colors. Give each of the close colors its role: one will be dominant, the other will be secondary, and the remaining two will be complementary.


Just as in polar harmony, the dominant color can be used in the full spectrum from light to dark, the secondary color can be used excluding bright and pure shades and is noticeably less in quantity, and additional ones are very limited. For example, in the harmony indicated below, for example, yellow may dominate, while green may be secondary. Then, for example, we will see yellow-green as a very light light green, and yellow-orange as dark brown.




Classic triad

The triad is the most complex color scheme, but also the most frequently used: such interiors turn out to be both balanced and interesting to perceive. For a triad, three colors are taken, located equidistant from each other on the color wheel, as if at the corners of an equilateral triangle. The same approach: colors are arranged according to importance, one always dominates, the rest are used sparingly.


As for mixing colors with each other, this is an important point in the triad, but there are two approaches:

Option 1. Use shades of a mixture of dominant and secondary and shades of a mixture of dominant and tertiary, but additional colors do not mix.

Option 2. Mix additional colors into one color and then mix it with the dominant one. This mixed color can be lightened and darkened, diluted with gray, like the main and secondary colors.




You can choose color harmony without fussing with paints using this program.

Below we have collected examples of how you can combine colors with each other. It doesn’t matter what shade is your favorite in the interior - yellow, green, orange, purple - you can choose a successful combination for any room.

Red and purple shades






Blue and cyan color






Green in combination with other colors





We renovate to last for decades and choose colors carefully. Therefore, more often you will find light, neutral interiors, where brown or gray is added to beige. But don’t immediately say that this is a boring trio. They are universal. And by pairing them with one spectacular color, you will get bright interior and you won’t be moping when there are nine months of bad weather outside.

Combination of gray color in the interior

It is considered a neutral color and signifies prudence. How does it make you feel? “Gloomy and dreary,” you say. Not at all. Thundercloud, river mother-of-pearl, morning harbor or wet stone are just a few shades that come to mind. Many designers and decorators consider gray to be white's more elegant brother. It fits into any style and its undoubted advantage comes in many shades. Choosing a shade of gray is not easy, but it will suit both the living room, kitchen or bedroom, and can be combined with a large number of colors and finishing materials.

What to combine with?

Gray and yellow. At first glance, the colors are different and contradictory, but they get along well. If you make gray the main background in the room, adding yellow accents. Yellow will highlight the gray, and gray will balance the yellow, preventing it from overloading the interior.

Combination of beige color in the interior

Also neutral and belongs to the brown range. It expresses calmness, a craving for comfort and is always associated with classics.

What to combine with?

Beige and red. As in the previous pair, one color (red) will play an active and assertive role, and beige will be a calm and restrained background. Together they will create a welcoming and cozy atmosphere.

Combination of brown color in the interior

This is tradition and conservatism. Brown is associated with confidence, nature, reliability, durability and will make the space noble. For example, chocolate shades promote psychological balance and calm. But brown visually reduces the area, so add white, milky and beige colors to it.

What to combine with?

Brown and lavender. Light lavender color will complement warm brown shades well. The main trick is to choose a not too active and bright lavender tone.

We put together the living room like a puzzle and put together different pieces: sofas and armchairs, coffee tables and lamps. But where to start if you don’t know where to start? Start with the sofa. Besides the bed and table in the kitchen, this is the most used thing in the house. And here gray comes in handy. Stylist and designer Emily Henderson in her book “Style. Thousands of tricks and tricks for decorating any interior” (take note of this book, you won’t regret it) advises choosing a gray sofa of a simple and comfortable shape if you are confused about “which one to get.” And by rearranging or moving items a little, you will get a completely new room.

Advice. Also note the gray wooden furniture. The calm gray shade of the cabinets will hide them if the walls match them. Traditionally, we choose a white ceiling, but a gray one in the living room will not reduce it at all, but will seem higher, as if going into the sky.

The art of receiving guests is to make them feel at home. Gray is the ideal color for both small and large kitchens. It can be both warm and cold, thanks to the many shades it can become both a background and a rich accent.

Advice. If you paint the walls gray, then choose warm shades for the flooring and furniture. It is better to avoid beige, or rather a beige-yellow shade. If the kitchen has little light and a small meter, the color will appear dirty and create a stuffy impression. Take a closer look at shades close to yellow.

Noble brown tint usually used in kitchen furniture. An undoubted advantage is that the kitchen will not go out of fashion for a long time, but keep in mind: massive dark cabinets will reduce the space, so make the walls in light colors. And if you choose brown for the walls, then the opposite rule applies to furniture, textiles and household appliances It’s better to do it in light shades.

The place where we spend the most time at home and, ironically, we don’t see him the most, because we sleep. But still, colors should create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The simplest and safest option is a light beige or brown color scheme. But still take a closer look at the gray.

Gray, like black, suits almost all colors: blue, light blue, green, yellow, brown, pink. bright accents will look great in a gray frame.

Advice. Grey colour walls or textiles will be no less calming than classic white or beige combinations.

But no matter what color you choose, there is no one that is the most harmonious and the right combination in the interior. Just as there is no law that specifies prohibited or permitted colors. Of course, you can use the Luscher method or the “seasonal” approach (there is such a thing) to choose colors, but only your inner craving or rejection of a certain shade will help you create your own, most harmonious palette.
