There are also various fashionable and unusual color trends and trends in interior design.

The properties of light can and should be used in the creation of any interior. Correctly selected colors and correctly placed accents on them can radically change the appearance of a room, for example, a room where little sunlight enters can be made lighter using bright yellow shades.

Color can change the sense of space

For example, an already small room, the dark color of the walls will be further reduced, if you paint the room in soft blue or any other light shade, you will notice that the room seems to become more spacious. Cool colors affect perception and give us a sense of spaciousness, as opposed to dark, warm colors such as red or brown.
Not high enough ceilings, you can visually raise using color, for example, if the walls are painted before reaching the ceiling in one color, and the remaining upper part of the wall and the ceiling are painted in another.
When choosing the color of materials, remember about the square footage of your apartment: especially this reminder will not be superfluous for those who have it small!

The color scheme of the interior and the area of ​​the room

If we consider a small room, then, no matter how much you would like to enjoy the noble dark colors, they are not for you!
A small apartment decorated in gray, blue, burgundy, green, brown, black will literally turn into a cage, and in light colors it will be just a "toy"!

Contrast or smooth color transition?

The apartment looks very original, decorated in different colors: each room creates a special mood. Sometimes the landlord literally borrows all the colors of the rainbow: one room is yellow, another is blue, the third is pink, etc. - they all resonate with each other, creating a "sunny" mood for households and their guests. Contrasting color combinations in the interior of the apartment look no less interesting: a dark gray hallway - a room with white walls - a bathroom decorated in black and white.

However, the owner does not always strive for the harmony of colors: sometimes he wants to achieve the uniqueness of each section of the apartment just due to the color.
The color range of finishing materials today goes far beyond the traditional yellow, green, blue.
It is enough to cite just a few so that everyone understands what kind of space opens up the "world" of flowers for the creative owner: amethyst, apple green, aquamarine, azure, arsenic, amaranth, purple, alizarin, asparagus, olive, ultramarine, terracotta, orange - any of this the color in the interior of the apartment with a competent presentation will be good.

"ABC" colors

We mentioned the competent presentation of color solutions for a reason. The thing is that there are incompatible colors! True, some designers sometimes find a zest in this and try to present the idea as something ultra-fashionable and "super-elegant".
The danger of such a decision lies in the following: the rules are “correct” in everything, including in the “grammar” of color, and their violation leads to a challenge: an effect, that is, attracting attention!

However, this does not change the essence: color combinations in the interior will look good only if they are in harmony. Otherwise, they first surprise with their "incongruity" and even please for a while, but for a very short time!
The owner, if he is a person with taste, and it soon becomes clear that he "went too far" here: the intrusive, colorful "bouquet" of colors begins to annoy, and a lot of money has already been invested in the repair!
 So then you have to "enjoy" the experiment for many years, waiting for that hour, or rather that money, when it will finally be possible to redo everything!

Therefore, before leaning towards avant-garde color solutions for the interior of an apartment, weigh your material capabilities a thousand times over and determine the limits of patience.
And if you have at least some doubts, it is better to stop at the "classic" colors: for example, all shades of pastel are acceptable for any room, both the largest and the smallest, in addition, they never cause negative emotions - unless the owners apartments just want to freshen up the renovation.
 Finishing materials in delicate colors - a "safe investment" of money!

Unsuccessful color combinations in the interior are considered those that are selected without taking into account whether it is a warm tone or cold, saturated or, conversely, only a light shade of color.
 It will not decorate the room and diversity, unless the owner has chosen a certain style that requires emphasized carelessness in the color scheme, for example, country style.
Remember the number "three": three harmoniously selected colors are the best option for decorating a room.

Furniture and decor elements in the interior

Even with a very high-quality renovation, designed in a certain color scheme, selected with great taste, you can spoil the overall picture by placing upholstered furniture with completely unsuitable upholstery.
True, such a mistake can be easily eliminated by throwing on the sofa and armchairs that match the interior of the capes.
Carpet or curtains, chandelier or floor lamp shades can break the harmony of color.

It is important to remember that even in such seemingly trifles as tablecloths, napkins, vases, photo frames and other decorative trinkets, color is also important!
