How to Create a Color Scheme, Part 2

It is important to take into consideration all that you have learnt in the previous articles to form a cohesive scheme. It may sound daunting but as with any large task, if you break it down into small steps and successfully complete each – the whole task will come together.

The more frequently you practice these tasks, the easier it becomes until before you know it, you are achieving even bigger tasks.

Remember tone, balance and harmony for the space as well as your color wheel.

Think of which color / product / finish takes up the most space, try not to compete with this, but use it to build your scheme on.

Example 1 - Warm butter yellow walls, ceiling and carpet. You can use almost anything with this; we go to the color wheel to choose a scheme or use a monochromatic that lends to using texture and tone and makes the room calm soft and pleasing to the eye.

Example 2 - The same back drop but using color, cobalt sofa, primary color cushions, and paintings. This creates a more stimulating scheme than the previous.
