Теплые оттенки цветов в интерьере: Статьи — Сделано

15 основных ошибок подбора цвета в интерьере — The Village

Умелый дизайнер экономит заказчику много денег, используя краски вместо дорогого декора. А неумелый способен любой бюджет свести к какофонии. Разбираемся с порталом по обустройству дома Houzz.ru, как быть похожим на первого.

Белые стены — тренд, пришедший вместе с модой на минимализм и скандинавский стиль. Белый — универсальный цвет, он расширяет любую комнату, добавляя ей света и воздуха. Увлекшись этим цветом, можно легко обнаружить себя в безжизненном интерьере, требующем постоянной уборки. Не стоит злоупотреблять: либо белый фон, либо белые акценты. Цветные детали, мебель, аксессуары, природные фактуры разбавят пустоту и наполнят ее жизнью.

Неуверенные в себе люди подсознательно стремятся к компромиссу при выборе цвета. Отсюда популярность «бежевенького»: светлый (но не белый), теплый и неброский. Цвет, кажущийся универсальным, делает интерьер унылым, лишенным характера, отдающим офисом и гостиницей. Оформить стильный интерьер в бежевой гамме сложно, понадобится выбирать яркие — красные, желтые, синие — акценты под конкретный оттенок и глубину бежевого. Совет: чем скромнее палитра, тем насыщеннее и разнообразнее должны быть фактуры.

Белоснежные интерьеры выглядят холодно даже с яркими деталями. А если не хватает солнца, то еще и серо — совсем не так, как на картинке в журнале. В дизайне интерьеров под «белым» подразумевается с десяток оттенков: «сливки», «топленое молоко», «слоновая кость», «арктический снег» и пр. Они отличаются примесями других красок. Например, в традиционном скандинавском интерьере стены красят не в кипенно-белый, а в «стокгольмский белый» (Stockholmsvit), где подмешано немного серого и желтого пигмента. В результате получается более теплый оттенок.

Если выкрасить потолок в один цвет со стенами, можно визуально расширить помещение, поскольку границы пространства растворяются. В случае с темными тонами этот прием создаст ощущение уютной коробочки. Осторожности этот прием требует только с яркими цветами: замкнутое пространство сильно воздействует на психику. Можно даже покрасить потолок в контрастный или яркий цвет при нейтральных стенах, особенно если вам досталось помещение с непропорционально высокими потолками.

Делая ставку на монохром, вы лишаете пространство объема, глубины и приятной сложности. Исключение — волшебный серый цвет, но и тот на любителя. Постарайтесь сохранить разнообразие. Расставьте контрастные акценты. Поиграйте на полутонах любимого цвета: сочетайте сильно разбеленный пастельный оттенок с насыщенным темным или выразительным ярким.

Противоположная ошибка — выбрать хорошие сочетания цветов и насытить ими пространство в равной мере. В итоге — пестрота вместо гармонии. Придерживайтесь процентного соотношения 60/30/10 для главного цвета, дополнительного и прочих.

Если к нежно-голубым стенам вы приобрели прекрасный ярко-рыжий диван, добавьте еще несколько небольших оранжевых аксессуаров в остальные части комнаты, иначе диван вывалится из контекста, будет выглядеть чужеродно и неуместно. Это называется «поддержать цвет». Само цветовое пятно лучше разбить небольшими деталями других цветов, основного или дополнительного: так оно лучше впишется в обстановку.

Использование контрастных сочетаний — беспроигрышный вариант. Красный всегда будет выразительно смотреться с зеленым, желтый — с фиолетовым, а синий — с оранжевым. Но сам по себе контраст — настолько выразительный прием, что легко может утомить. Пусть один из цветов будет насыщеннее второго, разбеленного или затемненного. Это смягчит эффект и поможет избежать навязчивости.

Продумывая цветовую палитру интерьера, многие забывают про пол. И напрасно: на него приходится примерно четвертая часть пространства, которое мы видим. Особенно это актуально для больших помещений.

Одной и той же квартире в Валенсии и Мурманске нужны будут совершенно разные цветовые решения. Больше всего от этой несправедливости страдают северные любители прованса. Мягкие пастельные тона, такие нежные и освежающие при ярком солнечном свете, без него становятся блеклыми, холодными и скучными. Правило здесь одно: чем пасмурнее регион, тем теплее и насыщеннее цвета в интерьере.

Распространенные ошибки связаны и с неправильной оценкой теплоты цвета. Красный, желтый и оранжевый оттенки безусловно относятся к теплой части спектра, а синий, фиолетовый и зеленый считаются холодными. Все сложнее. У каждого цвета есть теплые и холодные версии. Красный с примесью фиолетового — ежевичный, ягодный, маджента — более холодный, а приближенный к оранжевым тонам — алый, киноварь — значительно теплее. То же и с традиционно холодным синим: бирюзовый и цвет морской волны теплее небесных и стальных оттенков. Зеленый — это вообще многогранный цвет, легко переходящий как в теплые, так и в холодные оттенки.

Точнее, делать это можно, но сложно: нужно учитывать пропорции, сочетания каждого оттенка с другими цветами. В большинстве случаев получается дисгармония. Если есть сомнения, что вещь попадает в нужную цветовую температуру, лучше не рисковать и выбрать контрастный или нейтральный цвет. Это решение будет точно удачнее, чем, например, травянисто-зеленый на фоне холодных мятных оттенков.

Чем чище цвет, тем он навязчивее. Звонкие яркие тона бывают хороши в детской, на кухне и в ванной — и то в разумной дозировке. В остальных случаях лучше предпочесть сложные смешанные цвета с добавлением черного или серого (затемненные, припыленные) и белого (разбеленные, пастельные). Такой интерьер выглядит благороднее и взрослее. Чистый яркий цвет, как правило, требует нейтрального фона и строгой минималистичной обстановки.

Тут легко переборщить и скатиться в карнавал: яркие цвета скоро начнут утомлять и сильно вас обяжут в дальнейшем. Уместнее выбирать для крупных предметов и целых стен более мягкие приглушенные оттенки, а насыщенные добавить за счет аксессуаров, которые при желании можно легко заменить. В нежилых зонах (санузле, коридоре, прихожей) можно применять терапию цветом без опаски. В этих помещениях вы не проводите много времени.

Это мрачно, не для маленьких помещений, сужает пространство — вот основные заблуждения, связанные с темными цветами. Да, они кажутся ближе, чем светлые. Но темные оттенки также обволакивают, дарят глубину, благородство и уют. Маленькая комната не будет выглядеть тесной, если избегать контрастных решений и не загромождать интерьер деталями. Тесным пространство делает цветовая сумятица и увлечение декором.

90000 Picking A Color Scheme For Your House in 2020 90001 90002 90003 Updated: 2020-01-06 90004 90005 90002 Creating a home color scheme is so much more than just choosing a paint color — and it is so much more fun! Whether you let your living room color ideas evolve as you go, or whether you try to plan your whole house color palette at once, each room has a color scheme. Choosing the right paint colors can be much easier if you know what color scheme for your house you want to use.Choosing the right paint colors for your home can be much easier if you know what color scheme you want to use for your interior design project. See our tips on how to choose one here. 90005 90008 How do I choose a color scheme for my house? 90009 90002 Ready to start choosing paint color? With a few basics of color theory, your palette will emerge in no time. 90005 90012 Creating a color pallette 90013 90002 Choosing a color scheme is based on creating a color pallette. A color palette for home design has the power to set the mood for a room, as well as evoke emotions.It can make a room feel warmer or cooler, larger or smaller. Depending on the colors you choose for furniture, walls, window coverings, and accents, you can create balance, harmony, unity, or emphasis. 90005 90012 What Colors Appeal to You? 90013 90002 What colors are you usually wearing when you receive compliments on your appearance? Do you want the room to be a place of rest and relaxation? Or will it be used more for entertainment and social interaction? Do you need to try to make the room look bigger, more open? Or do you need to make the room look smaller and cozier? Use these questions as a starting point to put together the most meaningful living room color ideas for you.90005 90012 Cool vs. warm colors 90013 90002 One of the first choices in decorating is to decide whether you prefer warm vs cool colors. There is no right or wrong, because the debate over warm vs. cool colors comes down to a matter of preference. If you are working on a project, some information on warm colors and cool colors and how to use them can help you narrow down the decision. 90005 90012 Warm colors and cool colors 90013 90002 In color theory, the discussion of warm and cool colors has been an important one since the 1700s.Warm colors range from yellow to red, often including browns. Cool colors range from blue-violet to blue-green, often with some grays included. In art and design, warm colors appear to be more active, while cool colors seem to recede. 90005 Warm and Cool Colors: 90028 90029 90030 Warm colors 90031: Warm colors are or derived from the primary colors red, orange, and yellow; evokes a warm feeling reminiscent of fire-like elements like the sun. 90032 90029 90030 Cool colors 90031: Cool colors are or derived from the primary colors violet, blue, and green; evoke a cool feeling reminiscent of earth elements like water or greenery.90032 90037 90012 Color temperature 90013 90002 Measured in kelvins, color temperature is a light characteristic important to science as well as design. Cool colors have are blue (ish) and have a higher color temperature of over 5000 k. Warm colors are yellow (ish) and have color temperatures bellow 3000 k 90005 90012 Using the color wheel 90013 90002 Since it does not make sense to explain green or purple in terms of color temperature, we use a color wheel to describe all colors on the spectrum.The color wheel can be divided into two halves. As you can see in the figure on the right, this color wheel has 12 colors, with warm colors on the right and cool colors on the left. Below the color wheel, the colors are broken down into parts. 90005 90002 90047 90005 90012 Warm colors 90013 90002 This section gives an overview of warm colors, discussing the following: 90005 90028 90029 What are warm colors? 90032 90029 Warm colors on the color wheel 90032 90029 A warm color wheel 90032 90029 Is brown a warm color? 90032 90029 Warm neutral colors 90032 90029 Warm colored rooms 90032 90029 Warm and inviting colors (7 examples) 90032 90037 90012 What are warm colors? 90013 90002 Warm colors are colors that have characteristics such as vivid, bright, bold, and sometimes overwhelming.Warm colors have a lower color temperature that ranges from 2700 kelvin to 3000 kelvin. Warm colors recall fire, the sun and heat and generally have red or yellow undertones. 90005 90012 Warm colors on the color wheel 90013 90002 The main warm colors on the color wheel are red, orange and yellow. Colors that are solely made up of a mixture of these colors are, without any dispute, warm colors. Other colors, like a magenta with a blue bias, look like a warm color but are actually a cool color.90005 90012 A warm color wheel 90013 90002 If we were to make a purely warm color wheel, its primary colors would contain red, orange and yellow, with numerous mixtures of those three colors. Ultimately, as the color wheel drifts over farther into the deep red part of the spectrum, it will start to drift into cool (blue) color territory. 90005 90012 Is brown a warm color? 90013 90002 Because it is made of wood, the most common color in furniture is brown. While brown is considered to be neutral on its own, is is often grouped with warm colors because it complements them well; also «warm browns» can have a warm color bias when brown is mixed with a warm base.Common «warm browns» are browns that are used concurrently with autumn red, orange, and yellows. 90005 90012 Warm neutral colors 90013 90002 While brown is considered a neutral color, it often seems more warm than neutral when mixed with warm colors. This is not the case for grey or green. When warm colors are lightly added to grey, and sometimes grey with a green tint, you get what many consider to be «warm neutral colors». Warm neutral colors are colors that feel more neutral than warm, but still have more of a warm bias than a cool one.90005 90012 Warm colored rooms 90013 90002 Warm colors are the king of cozy. Below are some 90030 warm home colors 90031 that, if used in the right circumstances, can add a warm and inviting flair to your project. 90005 90095 Warm and inviting colors 90096 90028 90029 90030 Red: 90031 Just a hint more warm-biased than magenta, a deep, rich red can bring warmth to a seasonal project (or any for that matter). 90032 90029 90030 Peach: 90031 Sometimes combining all of the warm color spectra, peach can be tasteful and inviting.90032 90029 90030 Pink: 90031 If used tastefully in its more subdued form, Pink can be a bold statement that can be vigorous and inviting at the same time. 90032 90029 90030 Tangerine: 90031 Tangerine in its purest form has more of a pumpkin tint than pure orange. This color can be great for autumn. 90032 90029 90030 Gold: 90031 Darker than the standard yellow, gold or even mustard yellow feels warm and inviting without being overly exuberant. 90032 90029 90030 Brown: 90031 As discussed above, brown is a neutral color that complements warm colors well, especially if mixed with a deeper warm color.90032 90029 90030 White: 90031 While white is the quintessential neutral color, a creamy, warm white can be among the coziest of warm colors in the right circumstances. 90032 90037 90002 90128 90005 90008 Cool colors 90009 90002 This section discusses cool colors, namely these topics: 90005 90028 90029 What are cool colors? 90032 90029 Cool color wheel 90032 90029 Cool colors recede 90032 90029 Cool house colors 90032 90029 What are some cool colors? 90032 90037 90012 What are cool colors? 90013 90002 On the other side of the color wheel, we have cool colors, which have blue undertones.Cool colors are the colors of ice, water, sky, and grass. In design, cool colors tend to be calming, relaxing, and soothing, and they tend to recede. A pillow in a fabric like Waylon incorporates cool colors. 90005 90012 Cool color wheel 90013 90002 Examples of cool colors include violet (purple), blue, and green. You can make your own cool color wheel by using only these three colors as the primary colors, while using various mixtures of these colors as your secondary colors. Limiting yourself to a cool color wheel can be a useful exercise in color theory, as it is difficult to create any accent tone without a warm color present.90005 90012 Cool colors recede 90013 90002 In art, cool colors will appear to recede (think Van Gogh’s «Starry Night»). Cool colors seem to recede in space because blue, the primary undertone of cool colors, has shorter wavelengths than other colors. While a blue figure, or any figure based in primary colors, may take up the same space as any other color, they make the space seem larger because of the smaller wavelength. 90005 90012 Cool house colors 90013 90002 When used in a home décor project, cool colors can provide a calming feeling when used alone.They can also be used as accent colors for rooms with a warm color bias. 90005 90095 What are some cool colors? 90096 90028 90029 90030 Sage 90031: A calmer alternative to grey and more emotional than white, sage is a green-based color that adds a soothing feeling to a room. 90032 90029 90030 Deep Purple 90031: Midway between magenta an violet, deep purple goes well with warmer blues. This can be a great accent color. 90032 90029 90030 Navy 90031: Navy blue is a timeless dark look that goes extremely well with neutral accents.Mixing navy with a grey or deep purple can give you an all-cool space with lots of flair. 90032 90029 90030 Beige 90031: While beige is often thought of as a neutral color (like brown), cool beige is a trendy version of beige with a pink base. 90032 90029 90030 Grey 90031: The definition of neutral, we chose grey to be on the list of cool house colors because it is, perhaps the best color out there to accompany any other cool color on this list. 90032 90029 90030 Green 90031: Earthy and grounding, green is a fresh and lively cool color that makes your space feel bold but natural.90032 90029 90030 Light Blue: 90031 Still technically characterized as a cool color, light blue is a bright cool color that can be calming as well as enlivening. 90032 90037 90012 Warm vs. cool colors 90013 90002 It’s no mistake! You absolutely can create a beautiful design by mixing warm and cool colors in your room. It’s kind of like planning a buffet with sweet and spicy dishes — the key is to add in another flavor. When you’re talking about mixing warm and cool colors, that other «flavor» is neutral.90005 90012 Cool neutral colors 90013 90002 Neutrals are colors that are not included on the color wheel. Shades of browns, tans, golds, beige, and black, are usually considered to be warm neutrals, while shades of white, cream, ivory, gray, and silver are usually considered to be cool neutrals. To complicate matters a bit, many neutral color families (like brown) can actually be warm or cool, depending on the proportion of yellow or blue tones in the mix. 90005 90012 Warm-cool colors 90013 90002 A «warm-cool color» is a color that blurs the lines between warm and cool to the point where you can not discern whether it is warm or cool.Magenta, as mentioned earlier, is an example of a warm-cool color. While technically cool, magenta is a color that feels warm. Using a mixture of blue and red, both on the opposite sides of the color wheel, magenta is a color that seemingly transcends the color spectrum. 90005 90012 Cool or warm undertones? 90013 90002 If a color has cool undertones, it will lean gold or yellowish. Something will cool undertones will leak red or blue. For this reason, a mixture of red and blue, the quintessential colors of the warm and cold sides of the spectrum, respectively, will give you (sometimes) give you a color with the opposite undertone.90005 90008 Color schemes 90009 90002 Based on the color theory princples we just looked at, below are some ways to create high energy color schemes based on the color wheel: 90005 90012 Mixing cool and warm colors 90013 90002 If you use a three-color design scheme, you can apply the «rule of three» when mixing warm and cool colors. In other words, divide the colors into components of 60 percent of a dominant color (applied to the walls), 30 percent of a secondary color (mainly in upholstery) and 10 percent of an accent color (like in accessories or an accent wall) .Which color should be dominant? Whichever color you love the most — as long as it’s one you can live with. 90005 90002 The three basic color schemes for your house below are listed from lowest to highest «energy»: 90005 90002 A monochromatic color scheme means the colors are all shades or tints of the same hue, like all grays or all blues. 90005 90002 90223 90005 90002 An analogous color scheme uses three colors or hues that are neighboring each other on the color wheel, like orange, red and yellow, or blue, green and yellow.The colors do not need to be strictly adjacent to each other. 90005 90002 90228 90005 90002 A complementary color scheme means the colors are opposite each other on the wheel, with one warm color and one cool color. 90005 90002 90233 90005 90012 What Type of Light Does The Room Get? 90013 90002 Also, consider the natural light in the room when you’re choosing a color scheme for your home. 90005 90028 90029 North facing rooms are darkest, receiving diffuse light most of the day.This kind of light is cool and bluish, which means cool colors will look even cooler, and whites will tend to look grayish. Bolder colors show up better than muted colors. Warm colors, or lighter colors that reflect rather than absorb light, maybe a way to brighten the room. 90032 90029 East-facing rooms receive early morning light. This light appears warm yellow or gray before noon and then turns bluer later in the day. Bright morning light tends to wash out colors. Blue greens and cool neutrals come to life in the morning light and retain their vibrancy as the day progresses.If the room is used in the late afternoon, warm colors will help to balance out the lack of light. 90032 90029 South-facing rooms receive late morning and early afternoon light. Lots of high-in-the-sky light brings out the best in cool and warm color schemes. Dark colors will look brighter, lighter colors will glow. 90032 90029 West-facing rooms receive strong late afternoon light, a golden warm light that can be intense. In the morning, west-facing rooms are shadowy. You can use light-reflective cool colors to balance the warmth or go with a hint of warm red if the room is used in the morning.90032 90037 90012 What Elements Should I Choose First? 90013 90002 It’s easiest to create a color scheme for your home design if you start with a certain color and then work your room around that. Resist the temptation of choosing a paint color first! Instead, find a more long-term investment that you love, like furniture, fabric, or tile. If you have patterned upholstery, colorful rug, or a large piece of artwork you love, pick colors from that, remember to consider your wood finishes as well.It is much easier to find a paint that works with the fabric than the other way around. You can change accent wall colors in an afternoon with a small investment in a pail of paint. 90005 90012 Playing with Pattern Sizes 90013 90002 Accent fabrics that incorporate your home color palette are a great way to tie everything together in a way that looks intentional. You can create rhythm in a color scheme by repeating a color in various places throughout the room. Choose fabrics that use the same color family, but in varying pattern sizes like the below.90005 90002 90258 90005 90002 The weight of fabric and smoothness also affect how color appears. Fabrics with smooth textures reflect more light, giving them lighter visual weight. Fabrics with coarse or rough textures absorb light, rather than reflect it, and tend to make items look heavier. 90005 90008 Light and airy color schemes 90009 90002 Sunny with a side of light and airy? If that’s in your décor forecast, you’ve come to the right place. The right combinations of colors (and lack of them), lightweight materials, lighting, rugs, and accessories can create that oh-so-simple yet comfortable aesthetic you’re seeing on social media — and wanting for your own home.90005 90002 Changing floorplans and adding windows may not be on your to-do list this season, but you can learn how to brighten a dark room by following a few simple steps. 90005 90012 Paint clean and light colors. 90013 90002 Light does not have to mean «white», but you really can not go wrong with it in any room. It creates a canvas or backdrop for everything else in your room. If you’re not completely sold on white, try a whisper of green, blue, yellow, or even lavender. Pale neutrals will set the mood too.Showcase a few pieces of artwork for the walls and frame them simply; artwork should be large enough to hold their own on the wall yet not be overwhelming. 90005 90012 Add a dash of bright color. 90013 90002 Apply the 90/10 rule: use 90 percent white (or whichever light color you’ve chosen) throughout your room and add a dash (10 percent) of bright and happy color. (Greens or blues, anyone?) Whatever you do to brighten up your dark rooms, go with your gut. You can 90275 always rely on stately black accents too for turning up the level of sophistication.90005 90012 Let the sunshine in. 90013 90002 We are not all lucky enough to have skylights, or bay windows, or even big windows for that matter, but make the most of what you have. Banish the bummer heavy drapes and opt for cheery sheers instead. Need more coverage at nighttime? Plantation shutters offer the best of both worlds with just a nudge on the tilt rod. A chandelier or wicker ceiling fan or even just white ceiling fan blades. 90005 90012 Delight in lighter fabrics and furnishings. 90013 90002 When brightening a dark room, dark, thick fabrics (and leathers) need to exit stage left now to make way for the stylish Beckham and versatile Exeter sofa and sectionals in light-colored or muted patterns.Bookshelves can take on a more modern, artsy look by removing volumes and placing a few personal objects around artfully. Generously scaled Pippa accent chair and ottoman have light-hearted spool style legs. For a cocktail table, console or media console, warm and charming Bluffton is the way to go. In the bedroom, you can lighten up heavy-looking furniture like the bed simply by removing the footboard to add more openness to the room; likewise, choose tall, narrow pieces of furniture (think Bella Collection) over wider pieces to give the appearance of extra roominess.Light-colored woods and painted furniture (again, think Bella Collection) has a much-coveted vintage market look. There’s a bookcase, writing desk, buffet and lots more. Neo-traditional with a modern twist, Ventura bedroom pieces combine crisp finishes with handsome accent details. 90005 90012 What’s underfoot? 90013 90002 90288 What kind of flooring do you have? White or some kind of light-colored flooring or carpeting is ideal, while hardwoods of any color will provide that much-needed organic feel.An area rug like Dunmore and Kindred can serve to brighten up dark rooms too, as well as a textured or patterned rug if you choose. 90005 90012 Go au naturel. 90013 90002 Speaking of organic, by all means, go au naturel. Touches of green and anything living will ground your room with a modern earthiness. A potted plant will work wonders. 90005 90012 Eliminate clutter and mess. 90013 90002 At all costs, declutter your room and unravel that mess. Kill the knickknacks.
