Thinking About New
Colors? Keep it simple.
One-Color Schemes are powerful yet
uncomplicated
Often times people think to get a fresh new look for a particular
space in their home, they must choose several complementary colors
to create contrast and dynamics.
Think again! More often than not, simple one-color schemes can
create a look that is fresh, clean and offers plenty of visual
appeal.
This month we’ll take a look at bright, summery one-color schemes.
White & Blue
Calming and peaceful, blue and white reminds many people of lakes,
sky, and sea. Blue and white can be interpreted in a nautical theme
and offers spa-like sophistication. Pastel robin's egg blue is
appropriate for wall colors, while deeper tones of navy are ideal
for upholstery.
White & Green
Green is a relaxing hue in many of its iterations. Garden greens can
be used in a one-color scheme in motifs of leaves and ferns. Look
for soft green toile fabrics too. Neighboring greens -- yellow-green
or blue-green -- can give greens a punch in a decorating scheme that
uses lime or aqua.
White & Purple
Passionate purple is most often used for kids' rooms, yet subtler
tones of purple can be effective in the bedroom and bath. With so
many shades, ranging from the palest of pale to indigo hues, purple
is gaining popularity with its royal and regal interpretations. |
