Get a Balanced Decoration Through Color

Get a beautiful decoration, with beautiful colors.

Color can mean power and light inside a room, but its misuse can be a bad decision and cause the imbalance in spaces. Knowing about colorimetry is a must: the play of lights and shades helps you understand that even the textures and tones of the furniture (as well as the floor) participate in balance. The spaces change substantially because of the tints we use, as the visual game that the color produces can deceive the eye. In a house, office, or business we can use color in different ways to convey feelings or emotions. Each piece of furniture also contributes to the palette, and that’s something we must consider.




For this reason, let's try some tips that demonstrate the strength that a good combination can offer us. We are giving you 3 basic tips to take into consideration for a balanced and colorful decoration on your next home, office, or local.

Colors: the balance in a decoration

-Apply the rule 60, 30, 10: these numbers correspond to the % to use in terms of the amount of color present in an area. Therefore, 60% will be the dominant or main tone. 30% will correspond to the secondary, and 10% to accent (for small details.) This theory aims to maintain a balance of the palettes in three tones that are not static since you can use for the options of lower percentage degradations of the same tone. An example can be 60% white represented in furniture, floors, and walls. Secondary, brown or color of the wood. As an accent, the green of the vegetation; that we estimate is 10%. You can choose three related or contrasting tones and follow the interesting rule 60, 30, 10.




-Neutral colors, monochromatic alternative, and a lot of light: neutral colors include the family of browns and beiges, but also derivatives of white as bone, ivory, and gray. Using a single tone and its degradations, it is known as a monochromatic design. An example can be the use of brown. With the appropriate play of lights, it can generate communication between the brown tones of the different objects that make up the room, which also favors the lateral degradation of colors by making a horizontal plane.




-Warm and cold colors in contrast: using red, orange, yellow, and the combination of them. They are described as warm tones because they convey a sense of warmth and also identify with the sun, compared to cold tones such as blue, green, and violet, which are more similar to the sky and water. So depending on whether a color is warm or cold, it can enlarge or dwarf spaces. In the case of furniture, those made of wood in light shades, occupy less visual space and reflect more light, so they are more suitable for small places. Everything is a matter of balance and contrast. Have a clear idea of you want to evoke in your spaces with decorative elements, it will be easier to choose where and which tints are indicated for that particular space.




Mixing the colors of the furniture well with those used on the walls is an art and also essential if you want to have a perfect space concerning decoration. When combining, one of the ideas that work best is to create contrast: both the furniture and the walls will look much better by mixing neutral, warm, and cold colors with light, white, or dark furniture.

You can transmit colors through textures, materials, accessories, furniture, and lamps.
