When deciding on the colour combination of your home, in addition to the walls, you also need to consider furniture, floor coverings, decoration, curtains, lightning and the like. If we decide on a monochromatic colour palette, we will coordinate all the listed elements without any major problems.
First, we choose one basic colour that will provide the essence of the designed space. Then we add at least two more colour shades from the same colour tone. We add a colour that will be a shade lighter or lighter than the base colour, and one colour that will be darker or deeper than the other two.
Since all shades are based on a single colour, we will easily create harmony in the room. The monotony of a monochrome space can be broken up by adding patterns and textures.
While emphasizing unity is one of the benefits of a monochromatic colour scheme, it can sometimes feel too plain or boring, especially if the furniture pieces in your space are too similar to each other.
To avoid excessive monotony and “sterility” of the room, it is highly recommended to play with textures and different patterns. Adding different textures and patterns that belong to the same colour group is the easiest and often the cheapest way to add visual appeal to a room. We are talking about simple ways how, for instance, decorative pillows and a knitted woollen blanket invigorate a monochrome sofa, and wooden chairs and wooden accessories liven up a white kitchen.
We can also use different materials that nicely complement the monochromatic look of the room.
Various materials are very welcome in the interior: brass or natural wood details, crystal vases, textured fabric, artificial fur, or stone.
With a monochromatic scheme, various wall decorative techniques are also very welcome.
