The excitement of decorating or completely renovating a room in their homes should be harnessed. Quite simply, an empty room is a blank canvas for any decorator to fill with color, pattern, and texture. And that’s something to enjoy, right from the start, when you’re planning all the way to choosing the trims to complement a finished room.
But deciding on the color scheme can be a difficult decision and one you need to do well for everyone involved, including everyone in your home who will be using the room and hopefully getting to enjoy it. However, there are techniques in terms of using color that can help you choose the right tints, tones, and shades for you.
While most decorators will understand color schemes and know what colors and tones work, choosing color schemes can be a daunting proposition for most people. But fear not, as I’ve outlined a technique here that’s an easy-to-follow guide that will have you choosing colors like a pro.
This is a basic technique that may seem like it requires professional knowledge and experience to navigate through color schemes and a myriad of options. But stay calm, think outside the box and turn to things that inspire you and you can take control and create a monochrome room with real impact.
Monochromatic color schemes
The monochrome color scheme is perhaps the easiest to understand, but one of the most daunting on initial appearance. Most people just see a scheme that is too easy to mess up; one that should be simple (since you’re only using one color) but deep down contains such complexity that it can only go wrong. Do not think!
But first the basics: mono is the use of any single color tint, tone, or shade.
And when used, this scheme can create a room that is either very relaxing or very dramatic, all of which simply depends on the color chosen and the various shades or shades incorporated. It is not a plan to fear, but one to embrace with vigor and imagination, for the results can be truly impressive.
For a bit of drama, you may want to consider using a warm tone like red or orange. If you want to achieve a room that has a fresher feel, try choosing a blue or a green. Greys, whites and creams are great choices for neutral schemes and will create a fresh interior that is elegant in its uniformity.
