Colors are the foundation of a room’s design. One color on its own can be bold and distinctive, but the combination of two colors is what makes the most powerful statement. Finding the right combination of colors can make a room extraordinary. However, that’s not always as simple as it may sound. If you want to nail the colors in any room in your home then consider these incredible options!
This year’s Pantone colors, Rose Quartz and Serenity, have been very divisive in the design community. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it look. However, Pantone is a respected company and they’ve chosen those colors for a reason. The reason? They look great together! Serenity is a fitting name for the light blue color of the year. It brings a sense of peace and calm to a space that’s delicately balanced by the gently-warm color of the Rose Quartz. These colors are perfect when used for furnishings and artwork in a room. As wall colors they tend to be too subtle to make an impact.
For a more sophisticated look try the color combination that’s trending in 2016. It’s mustard and gray. The burnished tone of the mustard creates a dynamic contrast to the subdued gray. Mustard brings life to an industrial space grounded in gray while also lending an heir of vibrancy to Scandinavian homes.
Colors can also come from the materials in a room. A color combination that’s becoming very popular is copper and leather. The two coarse, natural browns compliment each other without diminishing the effect of either. This combination has a high impact in a space with predominantly white walls and features. Similarly, the combination of wood and brass creates a similar effect. The luster of the brass adds an eye-catching contrast to the earthy tones of the wood. This is a look that works very well in the kitchen.
Smart combinations of colors and elements will bring out the best features in your home. They create visual interest and support the entire design of your space. Check out examples of these combinations as well as more suggestions in the article below!
