A colour wheel, usually comprising 12 or 24 colours, can make selecting your colours easier. Shades situated close to one another usually combine well. But complementary colours, that is, the colours at opposite sides of the colour wheel, often go extremely well together
1. What goes with blue?
While dark blue tones have a calming effect, light tones create a fresh ambience. Darker shades, such as brown, are perfectly accentuated with yellows and golden accents. A lighter blue can be combined with subtle shades of beige or brown. This creates a pleasant atmosphere with a Scandinavian touch.
2. What about green?
Green harmonises particularly well with light shades of grey. This is the ideal colour combination for the bedroom and creates a calming, relaxed space. Dark, muted greens go well with a variety of colours. Light natural tones and subtle pinks bring energy to a room.
3. Which colours work with grey?
After white and black, grey is one of the most popular colours in interior design. The neutral shade can be combined with many different colours. Besides white furniture and accessories, mustard yellow or pinks also go well with grey.
4. Which colours harmonise with red?
Red is causing something of a stir in the interior design world. Red and green is always a winning combination. However, avoid the stronger shades and instead opt for sage green, olive green and salmon red or dark red tones. Natural wood, beige and white also coordinate particularly well with red in the home.
Complementary colours or a mix of light and dark will transform any room and liven up your interior space. Ready to give your walls a makeover? What are you waiting for? Grab some paint and give your creativity free rein!
