Decorating your home can often be a headache. It can be tricky to choose the right color for your interior, depending on the room, the lighting, and especially the ambiance you want to create. Color combinations are a hot topic among current trends. Whether you're taking a risk or simply looking for aesthetics, the Algo team has anticipated your questions about these sometimes difficult choices by creating harmonies: a concept that aims to combine a few colors in your home so you don't get confused!
Why choose to combine my colors?
The choice of colors is essential as to the atmosphere And the atmosphere that we want to offer to our interior. Indeed, whether it is for the kitchen , living room or even a children's room , it is necessary to think about the preferred colors for its interior.
There are two schools of thought: those who want to add personalization to their walls and those who opt for a timeless decoration but just as effective when applying white paint .
Choosing the right colors to match can really add value to your room ; the red will be synonymous with power and of passion , while yellow will have a connotation close to the heat , of enthusiasm and of liveliness .
These codes can help you choose your colors, but be careful not to make a mistake when choosing your paint in your store. Leroy Merlin !
Although combining colors is not such a complex matter, there are a few rules to follow to find the right harmony.
Choosing to create a harmony of colors can occur when choosing an imposing color ( yellow , green , or red for example). The role of the shades making up your color palette will then nuance with the strong color that you are going to highlight.
Another reason that might encourage you to color a section of wall in a color other than the primary shade is simply to add a nuance, aiming to bring clarity or why not create a monochrome: for example by combining our Brocéliande green and our restful green .
How to find the right color combinations?
The first piece of advice we can give you is not to do not mix more than 3 colors in your interior! In fact, this will allow you to maintain a certain harmony in your interior and to be able to fully enjoy your color combination.
Choose only one so-called “bright” color and combine intermediate shades as a complement to create a balance within your interior. However, you can highlight this shade and make it the reference for your room, or choose exclusively nuanced shades from the strong color to create a monochrome which will create a certain consistency in your interior.
The association of a bright tint with neutral shades and timeless is one of the keys to successful harmony. On the podium of neutral shades, beige , the white , the gray and to another extent why not the brown one !
Think about the surfaces you want to paint and opt for a bold and original atmosphere! Indeed, nothing is stopping you from painting your wooden furniture for example, giving you an additional option for decorating your interior.
We can ignore it, but the chosen colors will not all have the same rendering depending on the room in which they are applied. The most vivid colors will be more easily interpreted in less frequented rooms like hallways for example, like living rooms where harmonies should be less bold.
For those who are more diligent in terms of decoration, you can also complete your harmony with other materials and decorative elements . Like the cushions Or the curtains for example; or simply by associating the painting with wallpaper (yes, that's also possible)!
