How to combine colors?

Here are 3 simple combinations that will always make your interiors look stylish and aesthetically pleasing.

Monochromatic colors

If you're aiming for a harmonious, uniform arrangement, choose different shades of the same color. This could be, for example, the color blue and two of its shades - darker and lighter. This will make the arranged room incredibly cohesive and aesthetic.

Related colors

Related colors are those that are next to each other on the color wheel. When decorating an interior, usually two or three similar shades are used. These colors have common roots, thus creating a very classic, cohesive whole, but are absolutely not boring!

Complementary colors

Complementary colors work on the principle of attracting opposites. Therefore, using the color wheel, we can choose contrasting colors that also perfectly match each other. Warm colors complement cool ones, and cool complement warm. These opposing color combinations create harmonious pairs. It's an ideal solution for spacious interiors!
