How to Choose the Best Color Theme for Your Dream Interiors
One of the most exciting steps in creating your dream interior is choosing the perfect colour scheme for your home. Colours set the mood, define the style, and bring your vision to life. Liva Kitchens and Interiors understands the transformative power of colour and is here to guide you through the process.
1. Begin with a Vision
2. Know the Colour Psychology Basic
Colours really affect how people feel. Here is the quick guide for you
Warm Tones (Red, Orange, and Yellow): Those are energetic, warm and creative, hence ideal in living rooms and kitchens.
Cool Tones (Blue, Green, and Purple): That is, these are really soothing and calming, hence recommended for bedrooms and study rooms.
Neutral Tones (White, Grey, and Beige): These have a timelessness and versatility of background to be paired up with an accent for variety.
At LIVA, our designers help you incorporate the right colours to achieve the desired ambience.
The use of natural materials like wood, stone, and organic fabrics in modular furniture or architectural details adds not only visual appeal but also sensory appeal. These materials have a calming effect and create an environment that supports emotional and physical well-being.
3. Size of the room and lighting
Colour Selection for Smaller Rooms: Light colours, like whites or pastels, create an optical illusion of space, making small rooms appear larger.
Large Rooms: Deep, darker shades add depth and intimacy to open spaces.
Lighting: Natural light complements cool tones, while artificial warm lighting enhances earthy and neutral shades.
Test your chosen colours in different lighting conditions to see how they appear throughout the day.
4. Select a main, secondary, and accent colour
A unified colour scheme usually contains:
Primary colour: Controls the room (walls, large furniture).
Secondary colour: Paired with the major tone (curtains, rugs).
Accent colour: Provides contrast and emphasizes your focal points (pillows, decorations).
For instance, a contemporary living room can be painted with grey as the background colour, navy blue as the secondary colour, and mustard yellow as the accent colour.
