The choice of colour determines the concept and ambience, so great care should be taken when considering primary colours in both interior and exterior design. The surrounding colours will dictate to a degree, so factor that into your scheme, and whatever colour you choose for the outside, avoid anything too bright.
The Three Main Colours
In design terms, there are 3 colours that form the basis of any design, and they are red, green and blue. When combined, these base colours provide many other usable shades, and with careful planning, you can avoid too much of one base colour, then with a little variation, the room will look balanced.
Contrasting Colours
You should look for two contrasting colours, such as green and red, as they will complement each other. Mixing blue and red tends to have the opposite effect, and there is a conflict between the two striking colours, giving the room a busy effect. Pink, peach or a buttery yellow, are all great with softer reds or greens, while blues, greens and purples tend to make smaller rooms look larger.
The Soothing Effect
If you are seeking a tranquil ambience, stay with the same shade and look for variants, and this is ideal for bathrooms and bedrooms, where relaxation is quintessential. Light blue has many hues, and if combined with white, it makes for a calming effect, while giving the room a clean look. Blues, lavenders, and soft pinks can all add a romantic touch, and with the right sheens, you can create real depth.
Elegant Shades
If you are looking for a level of sophistication in a room, beige or cream are ideal base colours. Almond walls with reddish brown trims will surely add a new dimension, and with careful use of lilacs and violets, you can really make a statement.
