Colour errors during interior design

Inappropriate colour of the ceiling

The most common, and usually the standard ceiling colour is the snowy white, the only negative is that it can easily overwhelm the interior and ruin the other surrounding colours, because it often contains grey pigments. To avoid this, replace the pure white colours with the ones resembling more creamy/beige shades.

The paired colours

Try to keep the colour of the walls unique, so it does not resemble the shades of the floor, carpets, or furniture. If you want to keep similar colours however, at least try to choose different shades of the same colour.

The colours combined

Interiors with strong colours are spectacular, and effective, but you always have to remember to tone down most colour mixes with one neutral colour. Thanks to this, the room will not look like the inside of a circus tent...

Domestic harmony

When furnishing an apartment, make sure you choose a colour that will become the primary focus of the entire design, and it will repeat in majority of the interiors. Therefore, this way, the rooms will create a coherent unity.

Get rid of the boredom

If you like the interior in neutral colours, do not forget about the contrasting accents and shades of the same colour, therefore the interior will enliven a little. Unfortunately the same colours can become monotonous... Black finishes in a cream bedroom or luminous whiteness in graphite-grey interiors will add the room a character and would certainly enhance their charm and elegance.

Look into the mirror

As curious as this may sound, interior designs should also take into consideration the type and characteristics of the house members. You can suit the colours of the interior features, to the colour of your eyes, skin or hair for example, in order to distinguish them even more.

Colour evolution

One furnished room does not have to remain the same forever. If after a year or two you get tired of the specifically decorated room, but you prefer to avoid yet another overhaul and extra hassle, you can significantly and easily change the interior by introducing a brand new colour, this could include paintings, accessories and remaining decorations that possess divergent colours.

Remember about the finishes

Dark colours tend to make a room seem claustrophobic. In order to avoid this, a high gloss finish is recommended. This specific effect doesn’t only have to be a finish on the furniture, believe it or not, it’s possible to get glossy walls as well!

Colour depth

If you are looking for a strong accent or shade, which will diversify the specific interior, considering neutral colours, feel free to include a neon colour. If the design is strongly based on strong and deep colours however, be sure to emphasize them by matching similar colour but of different shades, though make sure that they are nevertheless contrasted with the dominant colour.
