When tired of pastel colors

The tenderness of the pastels and the milky color collect a lot of light and create comfort, but there is nothing perfect. Sooner or later, you will want to refresh the interior by allowing something unusual in it. But what exactly do? The wondrous elven house is already tired, but I also do not want to get the gloomy dwelling of the underground gnome. The following are some recommendations on how to add dark colors to your interior so that you don't get a gloomy dungeon.

Dark colors, nuances and treachery

What to look for before adding anything dark to the interior:

1. Room size
2. Lighting;
3. Other colors in the interior.

The size. It is not necessary that the room be the size of a factory floor or a throne room. But what will the dark color look like in this room? Darkness is insidious: in some situations, it can increase volume, and in others, on the contrary, reduce it. It already depends on how much the interior will be dark and what else will be there.

Lighting. Dark decor needs as much light as possible. Well, if a large window is already there. You can hang on them light light tulle in tone or vertical blinds - they create the illusion of higher ceilings than they actually are.

Chandelier. Currently, chandeliers are no longer in demand as before. The fact is that it’s more economical to cover any corner that is necessary at this moment, and not the entire room at once. In addition, lighting, consisting of sconces, floor lamps and small bulbs, creates more room in the room.

If the ceiling height allows, you can make it hinged, multi-level and mount the fixtures in it. You can scatter light sources on walls or even place them on the floor.

Colors

All people feel great color. Any person will be uncomfortable where the colors are chosen incorrectly. It is a pity that not everyone knows how to select them. In this case, you can turn to professional designers, but, unfortunately, they do not know how to read thoughts. So it would be nice to first try to determine the color yourself. It will be easier to communicate with the designer, perhaps even you will have ideas for doing the work yourself.

The simplest thing is to withstand everything in different shades of a single color. Shades of beige, dark or bright yellow are suitable for finishing the color of dark chocolate. Dark blue or dark green will remind you of sea sunset or evening in the forest. You can continue in the same tone, creating a game of shades of blue and green.

To revitalize the interior, you can add a little red in its various shades, having received an imitation of sunset or dawn. Is there a dark sculpture? Place it on a light background. A dark wall can be diluted with a picture or photograph of lighter tones. Shades of gray may seem boring, but, on the other hand, they allow you to add more bright and sometimes unexpected shades. Pink, green, blue, yellow - they all look equally good on a gray background.

Courage and thoughtfulness - this is the road to the dream home.
