Colors can radically change the look of a roomHowever, it is not always easy to choose the most suitable ones. Sometimes we are afraid to combine many colors and saturate the decoration, so we go to the opposite side and use only neutral and impersonal tones. In order not to sin by default or by excess, do not miss these infallible color combinations in decoration.
Black and white color combinations
Beyond fashions and trends, the black and white color combination It is a safe setting in any room of our home. One of its main advantages is that we can add any other color to it and the effect will continue to be a success.
This combination is ideal for Nordic-style decorations but also provides an elegant touch in a design decoration.
Yellow and blue color combinations
The yellow and blue They are two colors that contrast and when we decorate a room with them we create a cheerful and bright effect. This combination of colors is widely used in classic environments but we can adapt them to a modern decoration using more intense tones such as electric blue.
turquoise and orange color combinations
I have to admit that I have a weakness for turquoise and orange color scheme (just look at the colors I use on the blog). The mixture is very refreshing and cheerful, ideal for summer decorations, terraces or balconies.
Also keep in mind that turquoise was one of the most used colors in the 50s and 60s, so combined with orange it is a safe bet for retro-style decorations.
Red and beige color combinations
The red and beige They are two warm colors that combined give character to a room. A more muted shade of red works great in classic settings, while a brighter shade is ideal for more modern settings.
In a kitchen or bathroom we cannot go wrong if we combine the beige countertop with the furniture or coverings in red.
Brown and lavender color combinations
The brown and lavender it’s one of those warm and cool color combinations that just work. The lighter the lavender color, the more it will highlight the range of browns (coffee, chocolate, etc.) and the more light it will bring.
In addition, the lavender color invites calm and relaxation, this is the reason why it is often used a lot in bedrooms.
Mint Green and Pink Color Combinations
The mint green and pink color scheme reminiscent of nature and is particularly suitable for romantic and shabby chic style decorations. It is also a very feminine combination that works very well in children’s and youth bedrooms for girls.
Magenta and gray color schemes
Gray is a neutral color that will contrast softly with magenta. Depending on the predominant color we will obtain a combination with more personality or more neutral.
Although it is often said that magenta is a feminine color, associated in small amounts with gray it can bring life to a masculine style decoration.
Keep in mind that for these color combinations to work it is very important that one of them predominates over the other and that they do not compete with each other. Ideally, the main color should make up at least 60% of the decoration.
On the other hand, to these combinations of two colors we can add one or two more colors. If they are neutral, we will not fail in our choice, although we can also choose similar colors (the two colors located on both sides of the main color on the color wheel). Of course, let’s not forget to always respect the proportions, for example if we use three colors the ideal would be 60% for the main color, 30% for the secondary color and 10% for the third.
Lastly, I wanted to emphasize that above fashion and trend color combinations, our home should reflect our personality. Just as in everyday life you have a style when it comes to dressing, our house should also be a reflection of ourselves. For this reason, always choose colors that you like, that are comfortable for you, that transmit something about you. What do you want your eyes to see when you enter the house? Start there.
