Neutral color combinations will never go out of style. For this reason, many people are hesitant to the use of color throughout their home’s interior design. Bringing color into your home brings life into your home! The key to using colors is about knowing what combinations work. For those ready to spin the color wheel, here are some color combinations that may surprise you!
Sun & Sky: Many homeowners know that some of the best colors are found in nature. Pulling from the elements, a color combination people over overlook is orange and blue. When you pair these colors, the shade of blue chosen is paramount to keeping any zesty orange shade under control. Pair a soft, soothing blue like cyan or light turquoise as the calming counter color to a bright, sun-kissed shade of orange. Use whichever shade of blue you choose as your wall color to provide a backdrop for fun orange accessories.
Royal Touch: Hue plays a huge role in the yellow and purple color combination. The right hue can make or break this look! Color experts at CertaPro Painters of Lynnwood recommend pairing a pale, soothing yellow with an energizing red or warm shade of purple to compliment it. Another option is to pair a soft violet with a deep marigold shade. This color combination will create a look of luxury, making it the perfect color scheme for master bedrooms or bathrooms.
Spritely Shades: While this combination may scream Halloween to you, choosing a light green or sea green will drastically make the mood feel more spring-like instead of scary. You can also create a coastal theme with these colors, again choosing a cool shade of green to pair with soft, bright orange accessories. These colors are full of life, so use them in social spaces like your kitchen or living room to create a welcoming and vibrant sense. Similarly, darker, natural shades of green will anchor light yellows, giving the eyes a break from the brightness. Mossy green or even sea green also works to calm and relax when paired with neutral shades of yellow like beige or gold.
Get creative with the color combinations in your home! If you’re still hesitant, you can always cover your walls in a neutral color and use these color combinations in your accessory choices. Remember that paint color is temporary, so take a chance on one of these bold color combinations!
