How to choose colors for the interior
Often very little attention is paid to the color scheme of the interior. Simply pick one primary color and match everything in the room to that color. Moreover, they often do not pay attention to either the shades, or the “temperature”, or the combination of additional colors with the main one, or the purpose of the room. And then it turns out that the room looks strange, uncomfortable in it, and the interior itself is not very beautiful, although everything is chosen according to style.

And such problems appear because the color scheme greatly affects the atmosphere of the room, its mood. And if you choose colors that do not suit you, do not create the right atmosphere in the room, then the interior loses significantly. Of course, dealing with color is not easy, and it is better to entrust this to an interior designer. But if you want to do everything yourself, then you should listen to what advice designers can give you on the Internet. One article, of course, will not be enough to describe all the nuances of choosing colors. But we will try to outline the basic principles that will make your life much easier and make your interior much better. We will divide the information into three parts - the color scheme of the wall, floor and ceiling, furniture and decor separately.
Walls, floor, ceiling
The more monotonous and monotonous colors for coatings you choose, the easier it will be for you to work with the room in the future. When we talk about floor coverings, first of all we are talking about the pattern of natural materials (wood, granite, etc.) in the simplest colors - gray, beige, brown. Ideally, all rooms should have the same type of flooring, although bathrooms and kitchens may be exceptions due to the nature of the rooms. It is more difficult with walls, because people often want to somehow decorate their interior due to the pattern on the wallpaper. But now the fashion for such “decorations” is coming to naught, and plain walls are more preferable. As a compromise, you can use one accent wall. But for other walls, choose simple, slightly muted tones, whether light or dark. Of course, this is not a reason to refuse wallpaper with an interesting pattern. It’s just that if you want a modern interior, then it’s really better to avoid it, but if you chose the same Provence, then you shouldn’t limit yourself here. Simply put, a lot depends on your interior style. As for the ceilings, most designers agree that a plain light ceiling has not spoiled any interior, which more than proves its interior viability. Although, in the children’s room you can use photo wallpaper with the sky - this cute and unobtrusive decor is often liked by children.
Furniture
With furniture, you can already feel bolder, since furniture is easier to change, unlike the same coatings. Depending on your preferences, you can choose furniture in contrasting colors or, on the contrary, friendly ones. The only thing that should be carefully monitored is that the furniture does not merge with the background and is made in the same style as the entire interior. Also, do not use a lot of colors in the interior - just two or three colors that will be constantly used. If you have yellow, green, blue, red, and purple within the same living room, then the room will look frankly tasteless and too colorful. But even here there are exceptions, in the form of some interior styles. If you want versatile furniture, then pay attention to furniture made of wood - wood motifs fit very easily into almost any color scheme.
Decor
If furniture is still treated with caution, since it is still bought for a long time, then decor is designed to add color to the interior where they are lacking. This is the smartest move - to create a universal interior in basic colors at the stage of covering-furniture, and then add personality to it with the help of decor. Again, you should not overdo it, but interesting bright panel paintings may well add a twist to the bedroom. Pictures, decorative pillows, curtains, rugs, ceramics, panels, tapestries, carpets - all this can complement and expand your interior, making it truly individual. So do not be afraid of all this, you just need to know when to stop. The designer knows the measure best of all, this is obvious, but you can also track the moment when a pleasant room turns into a room full of trinkets.
As you can see, if you act consistently and in accordance with the plan, then everything will be much easier and more successful.
