Choosing a color palette for your home

How to choose the primary colors?

Style and preferences

Before selecting colors, consider what interior style you like. Do you prefer classic interiors, wabi-sabi, boho, or something else? The chosen style will determine the overall direction of the color palette. However, it's also essential to remember your personal preferences, particularly the colors that evoke positive emotions.

Purpose of the room

Colors can have a significant impact on our mood and behavior. For example, shades of blue and green promote relaxation, making them an excellent choice for bedrooms, bathrooms, and relaxation areas. At the same time, red and orange boost energy levels, making them suitable options for kitchens, living rooms, or home offices.

Color theory

Several key color schemes help create harmonious combinations of shades:

Monochromatic scheme: based on using different shades of the same color.

Analogous scheme: includes colors next to each other on the color wheel.

Complementary scheme: combines colors opposite to each other on the color wheel.

Triadic scheme: uses three evenly spaced colors around the color wheel.

Neutral colors as a foundation

Neutral colors such as white, beige, gray, and black serve as an excellent base for any color palette. They create a calm and versatile atmosphere that can be easily transformed by adding bright accents as desired.

Adding accent colors

Accent colors are rich shades used to create focal points in a room. They can be used to highlight a single wall in the space, as well as in furniture or decor items.

The influence of lighting on color perception

Lighting also significantly affects color perception. Natural light enhances the richness of shades, while artificial light can alter them. Therefore, it is essential to consider this factor when choosing a color palette for your space.
