Understanding the Basics of Color Theory

Choosing the right colors for your interior design starts with understanding color theory. Colors can affect our emotions and perceptions. Knowing how to use them can create the desired atmosphere in your home.

Primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—are the foundation of all other colors. Secondary colors—green, orange, and purple—are made by mixing primary colors. Tertiary colors are combinations of primary and secondary colors.

There are several types of color schemes. Monochromatic schemes use different shades of a single color. Analogous schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Complementary schemes use colors opposite each other on the color wheel.

Considering Room Function

The function of a room should influence your color choices. For example, bedrooms benefit from calming colors like blues and greens. These colors promote relaxation and rest. In contrast, living rooms and kitchens can handle bolder colors like reds and yellows, which stimulate energy and conversation.

Think about how you use each space. Choose colors that will enhance the room's purpose and make it more enjoyable to spend time in.

Preferences and Trends

preferences should always guide color choices. Trends can provide inspiration, but it's important to choose colors that are versatile and that reflect your property usage.

Look for inspiration in magazines, online, and in nature. Create a mood board with colors, textures, and patterns that appeal to you.
