hi guys welcome back to our channel the number one place for people who love design arts and all
things creative i'm jacqueline and i'm an interior architect and designer here at D and B and today's
video is all about home interior color palettes and more specifically how to combine different
colors together i think that it can be quite confusing when trying to select paint colors or
put together a cohesive color scheme for your home mainly because things like color
psychology and words like analogous get thrown in and it just makes everything more confusing
and i'll let you into a little secret which might be controversial but i don't use the color wheel
to match colors and i'll explain why whilst it's a good guy to follow for some things sometimes i
just think when it comes to interiors it doesn't really work in theory this should work but
realistically it looks like the wonga factory and complementary red and green gives the atmosphere
of christmas time which is a great option if you want your home to look like the home alone house
and whilst these bold color choices are fantastic on film sets in real life it just seems a bit out
of place and for the majority of the time i would say that a lot of us decorate using neutrals
meaning that the color wheel is kind of irrelevant so today i'm going to be giving you the best color
palettes that i think can be achieved by going through each hue on the visible spectrum and what
would work with each respective color because i'm sure you already have a principal color in mind
so i'm here to help you put together your interior color scheme so if you're interested let's jump in
so let's start at the beginning with a red interior perhaps not the most common or thought
about when picking paint colors for your home but there are lots of ways to incorporate a red color
scheme into your interior red doesn't necessarily mean it has to be like dracula's castle
instead think of using muddy hues that have gray tones mixed in to take away from the harshness
or to create a cozy atmosphere think about dark maroon and burgundy tones for richness
because red is already quite a domineering color you're going to want to pick furniture that is
more on the neutral side so beige white and black tones on the flip side you could select a bold
red statement piece and then decorate around that using neutral wall and floor finishes other than
neutrals you could go for pink and red to create a romantic environment and lastly for a warming
vibe look to jewel tones like teal amber emeralds sapphire and plum for a regal sophisticated look
next up we have orange one of the most fun and punchy colors on the spectrum
recently rust and terracotta tones have become extremely popular which i like to think creates
the illusion of a desert oasis perfect for those of you who like a bohemian look for that
stick to earthy tones like caramel fossil and salmon to create a north african aesthetic
for more of a modern contemporary look instead of another colour think about using gold accent
pieces gold will reflect the lush colours of the orange to create an overall cozy atmosphere
i think that yellow gets a bad rap because it's playful and youthful which is why it's used a lot
in children's rooms but there are certainly ways it can be gorgeous in your home too
yellow interiors a lot of the time remind me of the 70s so
choose complementary pinks and browns to create that funky retro look
however i know a lot of people hate that which is fair enough
so instead combine darker mustard yellows stark white and black for a modern approach
a perfect way for conjuring a glamorous interior
fourth is of course green which i talk a lot about in my living room trends video so i won't talk
about it that much but essentially different shades of green layered on top of one another
is going to give the appearance of an eco-friendly tranquil space so if you're looking to create
a zen moment in your home these are your colors in fact if you're going for a zen look
highlight the lime green tones brought through from bamboo by pairing it alongside chocolate
brown this will then really enhance the japanese atmosphere you're trying to create
now if that's a bit on the boring side for you and you're looking to really spice up your interior
then pair emerald tones with baby pinks a color pairing that is reminiscent of the
bygone art deco era and also reminds me of the beverly hills hotel colour scheme
okay i think a lot of you will agree with me that blue is a universally liked color especially
when talking about interior color palettes and i think that's mainly down to the fact
that it's such a calming colour that can easily be implemented into the home without it looking crazy
so to create that calm serene space your best neutrals to pair with a dull blue
would be creamy beige and grays i like to think of the color palette as beach inspired because to me
that is one of the most tranquil locations so think of the kinds of colors you would find
walking along the sea alternatively if you like bold cobalt blues and navies i think
you can have a lot of fun there because navy is relatively close to black you can go crazy
with the accent colors and pick multiple shades if maximalist or eclectic interiors inspire you
then this is a hundred percent the route i would advise to go down because the blue
gives you a plain backdrop to lay on top of and be crazy with or for that extra added
drama choose cobalt instead of navy if you're looking for an audacious interior design style
purple is the color of queens for a sophisticated interior
pair lilac and white together although lilac is a pastel tone it's actually quite saturated
which is why i think it looks best alongside a clean white tone if you're looking to use
gloomy plum and mulberry shades a cool tone palette will add to the seductive effect
navy and teal cool tone blues will both conjure a beautifully colorful interior
for more pinky fuchsias and barbie pinks think about using a summer palette
so that's your lime greens sky blues lemon yellows turquoise and lavender
the best combination when using such a pretty zestful hue chances are if you're picking this
color you're not afraid of bold colors so feel free to mix up multiple tones together and also
really experiment with patterns when using hot pinks like this too
another tool i like to use to create the perfect interior color combination is by using an online
color palette generator this is not sponsored at all but i have to admit that i use these kind of
websites a lot so i'll leave some linked in the description but for example if you have a photo
that you love and want to use as inspiration for your interior you simply upload the image and it
will generate a color scheme based off of what you've provided cool right and i'm sure with
all of that information you'll be able to put together a flawless colour scheme for your home
