Understanding Color Balance, Part 1
No matter what your color preferences are, bold or subtle, balance is the most important secret in achieving your desired interior designed effect. It is also the most difficult to describe as it comes down to how your eye perceives the space around you.

We have learnt from pattern and texture about scale and proportion; these are major factors in balance. What we are ideally trying to create is a harmonious space and this is achieved because we feel comfortable, why do we feel comfortable?
Because we can enter the space and not feel over or under whelmed by what we see. For example heavy floral patterns over everything in the same color feels oppressive, or the entire room being painted white with all white accessories and we feel like we we are in a hospital surgery room and frightened. |
