Which colors go well together? Interior design tips!

Which colors go well together when it comes to decorating your home? There are many schools of thought and even more paths to explore. In this article, we at My Window will provide you with our best tips so that you can get inspired and then choose what appeals to you the most. Here are our thoughts on colors and interior design.

Monokrom inredning

The color palette goes far beyond just the colors of the rainbow. Therefore, it can be challenging to decide which colors to pair together. A simple yet very tasteful way to avoid the hassle of matching multiple different colors while still daring to decorate with color is to go for a monochromatic interior design. This means selecting one main color to decorate with and allowing all or most of the interior details to be in another shade of that color. It’s also beautiful to have most things in a room in some shade of a particular color but to also incorporate elements of one or a couple of other hues and include various materials such as wood and brass. 

Cool versus warm colors

Another way to think about which colors go together in home decor is to differentiate between cool and warm colors. Typically, cool colors include blue, green, and purple. They are said to give the room a more relaxing and soothing vibes. Warm colors like orange, red, and yellow, on the other hand, are more dominant and lively. Consider the feeling you want your home to convey and let the warm or cool shades become your interior design guides.

Accent colors in interior design

Another way to incorporate color into your interior design in a suitable way is to choose an accent color, which is a color that should be present in several decorative elements in the home and become a common thread for the aesthetic feeling. However, choosing an accent color can be difficult. To start, you can examine the existing interior. Is there a color that stands out a little extra? It could be a wall color, the color of the sofa or dining table. If the dominant color tone is black, white, or gray, you can easily choose almost any color as an accent color, as these neutral colors work well with most things. As a rule of thumb, you can consider that you should have three pieces visible pieces of furniture or decorations in each room that should be in the accent color. 

Color for the curtain

When it comes to curtains, they are just as important a part of the decor as an armchair or shelf. Therefore, it can be helpful to try to view the curtain as a piece of furniture when you’re choosing a new one. Therefore, consider sticking to the color theme you’ve chosen for it to create an extra cozy and luxurious atmosphere in the room. A well-kept secret for stylish color coordination with curtains is to choose a shade that complements tone on tone with the wall color , and preferably a shade darker. Just don’t be surprised if your friends ask which interior designer did the job for you.
