 Hi guys!

Welcome to another chapter of my interesting and educational blog about color theory. In this chapter we will learn how the colors behave in interior design.

Pay attention and bring your notebook, let’s get started!



How do colors behave in interior design?


Colors can affect cohesion and harmony in interior design. A coherent color palette can make a space feel balanced and harmonious, while a discordant color palette can have an opposite effect and make a space seem messy and chaotic.


1. Understand the properties of colors 

Before you start designing, we must understand the basic properties of colors. The primary colors are red, yellow and blue and the secondary colors are obtained by combining two primary colors.


2. Create a coherent color palette 

Once the properties of the colors are understand, it’s time to create a coherent colors palette. A coherent colors palette is one that is  made up of colors that complement each other and work well together. This can be archived by using the color wheel and choosing colors that are in the same colors wheel area.  It includes complementary tones and tones of the same colors family.

 

3. Use the colors to create a specific atmosphere and feeling.

Colors can have a great impact on the environment of a space. For example, blue and green tones can create a feeling of tranquility and calm, while red and yellow tones can exude energy and vitality. When selecting colors for a spaces, it’s important to consider the mood you want to create and use the appropriate colors to archive it.

    I enjoyed Alex’s blog. It was very informative, explaining color theory very simply. It was cohesive, and things make sense as you read them. I feel like it lacked complexity, something like a conclusion would’ve helped, but it was still enjoyable. I didn’t see any major citations, but the pictures were all I needed. Overall, color theory is a topic I’m passionate about, as a makeup artist, I appreciate the knowledge.
