Color and style in the interior are closely related. Many styles require a certain set of shades, and a poorly chosen color combination can “kill” even an ideal design. In this article we will not consider such styles as eclecticism, contemporary, modern classics, art deco, ethnic and a number of others, since specific color combinations, characteristic of this particular style, are practically absent. Let's focus on popular styles that have distinct color features.
Despite the growing popularity of modern styles, classics do not go out of fashion. Inspired by the heritage of ancient culture, it looks restrained and harmonious. Ultra-modern furniture with an abundance of metal and plastic, as well as bright flashy colors and overly contrasting combinations are inappropriate in this style.
The key tone of the base for classic style is white. The traditional color combination is considered to be a combination of light pastel walls (white, soft beige, light yellow, light blue), a white ceiling with stucco and a dark floor. Calm, rich shades of green and blue are also acceptable - they must also be combined with white. An interesting solution for the classic style is an amphilady of rooms made in different colors, but combined in richness and warmth.
To decorate a room in a classical style, columns decorated in an antique style are also often used.
The Empire style originated in France at the beginning of the 19th century. Some consider it highest degree development of the classical style: antique influence is also felt in the Empire style. Ceremonial and monumental, these days it is often used to decorate living rooms and offices.
Empire style is characterized by rich, noble colors and rather contrasting combinations. A combination of red, burgundy, dark blue or emerald green with white and black is considered classic. Also, muted shades of gold, bronze and copper are often used in interior details. The most suitable floor for the Empire style is made of valuable wood, or stacked parquet. Its color ranges from brown to amber.
It is worth noting that in Russia the Empire style is divided into classic Empire style and Russian Empire style. The Russian Empire style is more pompous, and it is very characterized by copper-colored furniture made from Karelian birch.
Rococo is the direct “heir” of Baroque, which is why for a non-professional, these two styles often turn out to be extremely similar. Therefore, for simplicity, we will combine them into one.
Baroque and Rococo are characterized by light pastel shades - combinations of white with blue, yellow, light green, and pearl. The design is complemented by stucco, carved panels and gilded elements. All this creates a light and at the same time luxurious palace atmosphere. This style looks best in small semicircular rooms.
If we talk about differences, then Baroque is characterized by “heavier” and more saturated colors - turquoise, wine, gold. Also a feature of this direction are painted ceilings, voluminous walls (currently this is achieved using Venetian plaster) and floors made of expensive materials - for example, marble tiles.
Rococo is a lighter and airier style; the floor and ceiling are usually decorated without frills, in white and brown tones. This trend is also characterized by interior details that easily change the space - bright screens and large tapestries, often made in oriental style.
It is worth adding that in the interior of a small modern apartment, these styles in their pure form risk looking too pretentious and inappropriate. However, the use of details characteristic of Baroque and Rococo (for example, screens) will add chic to the setting.
Loft is a modern style that is gaining popularity nowadays. Its peculiarity is that it is initially used non-residential premises(factories, abandoned attics, etc.), as well as in a harmonious combination of different architectural solutions: for example, a combination of a wall with brickwork, undisguised ventilation system and modern stylish furniture.
This style is mainly focused on cool natural colors - white plaster walls, brown wood floors, gray or black furniture. Bright, saturated colors - red, blue, green - are possible in the form of small inclusions.
Country, also known as rustic style, is very popular not only in design country houses, but also in city apartments. Kitchens in this style are especially popular; they look light and cozy even in the darkest time of year.
Country assumes warm and soft natural colors - various shades of brown, light yellow, light green, blue, sand, olive. It would also be appropriate not large number and colors. Usually, to decorate a room, choose two or three colors and combine them with each other. There is also an opinion that all primary colors should be combined with.
High-tech - simple, functional and high-tech design. It is quite laconic and does not allow for a wide variety of color variations. The main colors in high-tech are gray, metallic, white and black. They are diluted with pure bright (but not acidic!) colors - blue, green. The main color is chosen depending on the room: for the bedroom you should prefer white, for the living room - silver and black. Transparent decorative elements are also popular in this direction.
Despite the name, which translates as “modern,” the Art Nouveau style arose in the 19th century. Fairytale and fantasy in spirit, it is characterized by floral patterns and abundance carved wood medium and dark tones. The main brown-beige tone is diluted with soft natural shades of green and.
This style should not be confused with the so-called “modern” style, which involves a variety of colors and design variations.
Minimalism presupposes clarity and conciseness of forms, which are emphasized by color. An absolute classic of this style - black and white interior without “impurities” of other colors and decor. However, a room decorated exclusively in similar colors often looks too cold, uncomfortable and empty. To avoid this, black is replaced or diluted with warm gray or shades of brown. It is also possible to use individual parts or pieces of furniture in other colors - purple, dark red or green, color accents.
Futurism - laconic and unusual design in style spaceship or “houses of the future.” It is characterized by unusual shapes furniture (for example, sofas that slide into the wall), transparent glass partitions instead of walls and a large number of built-in high-tech appliances.
The surface of the floor, walls and ceiling is usually made boiling white, gray or, in extreme cases, beige. Furniture and interior details are made in bright, even acidic colors - lemon yellow, bright orange, fuchsia, ultramarine, light green and the like. A small amount of black is also possible.
The playful and vibrant pin-up style comes to us from the sixties, and is one of the most memorable retro styles. A classic combination for a pin-up is a combination of light pink and warm. Sometimes the traditional yellow is replaced by soft orange, blue and light green. Also a mandatory element of the interior are bright prints on the walls, collages in the spirit of the pin-up era, polka dot curtains and an abundance of mirrors in stylized frames.
French country style, gaining popularity nowadays. White or light gray floors, colorful floral patterns, light curtains, ceramic baubles, ruffles and lace will all come naturally to this style. The characteristic colors for the walls are warm, light tones, as if faded in the sun: milky, light pink, blue, pearl, soft lilac, sand. Furniture is usually chosen white or light beige; It is often artificially aged.
Also, sometimes one of the walls is not plastered and painted white - so that the brickwork is visible.
And one last piece of advice that applies to all types of design: don’t forget that even within established stylistic and color combinations there is room for experimentation and an original approach!
The color scheme in the fashion world is very important in creating fashion collections of modern clothing. With the onset of cold weather, we observe its active change. You shouldn’t completely automatically follow all the fashionable color schemes from stylists; in any case, you need to take a balanced approach to the choice of shades in clothes.

I recently resumed my drawing and painting lessons, and I want to tell you about color combinations. In any situation when it comes to color, there are good and bad combinations of shades. Whether it's a manicure or clothes, a drawn card or even a home renovation, it's always important to choose a beautiful and interesting color combination.
With regard to clothing, this is even more important, if you can paint your house and your favorite bedroom in any shades you like, and invite only loved ones there, then clothing is the most important social tool that allows us to form the first opinion about each other, and therefore we cannot allow your clothes said the wrong thing about you. How to choose good shades and choose interesting pairs? What are the rules about this? How to choose any tones with shine?
A little theory
The easiest way to choose the right shade is to use a color wheel. It is divided into 12 sectors and represents the primary colors. Also, each sector is graduated from light (in the center) to dark (along the edge). What can we deduce from this circle?- White harmonizes with absolutely any tone and makes it brighter.
- Black will help dilute any ensemble and at the same time give it depth.
- Complementary and similar color neighborhoods are visible.
- You can derive triads, tetrads and squares.
This good combination, and most often it is used by many clothing lines - they produce the same models in complementary shades, and then if you buy a purple blouse, you can always choose a pistachio skirt to go with it (and vice versa).
Similar pairs- those that stand next to each other on the color wheel. Such pairs are often found in architectural compositions. Surely you have seen when a house is painted light lemon, and the architectural elements - slopes and cornices, balustrades and architraves - are green. This solution is also found very often in accessories - for example, it is much easier to find yellow shoes with orange trim than yellow ones with blue or purple.
Triads, tetrads and squares are patterns that are drawn according to a special shape on the color wheel. For a triad it is a triangle, for a tetrad it is a rectangle, and a square speaks for itself.
Look at different color wheels to understand the principle, and you will never go wrong in choosing the right shade.
Neutral
Neutral colors are called black, white and gray - they go with almost everything and look good together. However, it should also be taken into account that a person dressed in black or gray from head to toe is bad manners; monochrome outfits have long become a sign of bad taste. IN summer period It is appropriate to be dressed in white from head to toe, but here accessories - a bag, shoes, bright jewelry and details - can help maintain the brightness.Any combination of gray should be well balanced. As a rule, fabrics or accessories of a pure gray shade are rarely found on sale; most often the color has a cold or warm undertone. Accordingly, when choosing color combinations with gray, you need to look at:
- to the warmth of gray;
- on the warmth of the selected color;
- on the lightness of two shades and their compatibility.
Warmth of Gray
Gray can be warm or cool.
Warm shades are best combined with warm tones - yellow, orange, red, pink, crimson.
Cool gray looks perfect if you add blue, lilac, green or blue to it.
Warmth of the chosen color
Even yellow can be cold. It is best to choose those paints whose temperature corresponds to the main temperature of the color. Warm yellow and cool blue look good with cool gray.Lightness
This is the position that the chosen color would occupy on a stretch from darkest to lightest. It is best if the gray does not compete with his partner. Can't choose? Choose the brightest shades or pastel colors, and it is better to refrain from dark ones.
Warm
Warm colors on the color wheel range from yellow to violet. This is a pleasant range that lifts the mood and gives a feeling of warmth and light. However, choosing color pairs here is not so easy. Naturally, when I talk about the proximity of red or yellow, these are those combinations where the color I indicated is the main one (that is, it predominates visually).
The best combination of red is with white, blue and black. These are pure shades that were worn by kings and queens; this range (without black) is represented on the Russian tricolor and the flags of other states. Use pure shades, and then you can definitely be confident in your choice.
The combination is interesting burgundy color with shades of blue and gray. In general, any berry tones will suit burgundy. But it is better to choose green tones with a cool undertone.
A wonderful combination of brown and beige - you get a pleasant chocolate combination. Shades of cocoa and coffee, tea and milk, pastries and ivory - many color combinations with brown evoke thoughts of desserts.
Naturally, warm tones go well together - brown and light orange look great together, and the combination of red, orange and yellow was once ultra-fashionable.
Want to add some flair to the combination? Try complex tones. Combine brown with plum, beige and blackberry, warm inky and cool turquoise. Yes, don't forget about the brown and mint color combination. The combination of mint and chocolate evokes thoughts of entertainment, pleasure and relaxation.
Do you like extravagance? Add some accessories in a deep shade - for example, cobalt blue will set off orange or pink well, and turquoise looks good against shades of yellow and green.
Cold
Cool colors are those from green to purple. These are shades of grass and water, cool and refreshing, they bring peace and tranquility. If you want to use cool shades in the interior, then it is best to give preference to bright, clean colors, the compatibility of which is very high with other colors.
The best combination for the home is dark blue with white and red. Moreover, red should be a highlight, there should not be a lot of it, but it’s better not to skimp on blue.
My favorite shade is turquoise, also called turquoise and Tiffany's favorite shade. Turquoise color goes well with a variety of shades. You can choose warm pink and rich orange, which can beautifully set off the turquoise color. An interesting combination of turquoise shade is obtained with coral - the reddish-red palette emphasizes the turquoise color well.
It's also worth trying the combination blue with cold yellow and light green tones, and blue will help to shade the green tones. In general, the combination of green with yellow and blue is classic for spring and spring holidays, so try to find your own solutions in this color scheme (and don’t forget to look at the color wheel).
Try to pay more attention to the combination of green with other colors - this year the Panton company announced Greenery as the shade of 2017, so it would be a sin not to acquire a couple of green wardrobe items and buy some emerald jewelry for home. By the way, beautiful combinations You can choose colors with green online - the color palette will be created automatically.
Do you want to make interesting combinations? purple? Try light cool colors - lilac, pink, green. Don't like deep purple? Try lilac and lavender, and don't forget lilac.

As a rule, two or three colors are combined in the interior, and several more colors are presented in the form of accents. One of the three colors is most often white or light beige, for a very clear reason - without light colors the room will be gloomy.
In addition, ceilings and window frames are traditionally white, so it is natural to combine other furnishings with them. White will suit any color scheme described in the article, without disturbing the classic color combination, and without interfering with the originality of the unusual combination.
Classic color combinations in the interior
Trends come and go, but time-tested color combinations remain popular. There are many classic color combinations, but the ones presented below deserve special attention because they are liked by almost everyone and look beautiful regardless of the chosen shades.
Black and white
An expressive, contrasting color combination that allows you to create an unusually bright and stylish design interior without flashy colors. Of course, accents of other colors are acceptable and even desirable, but even their complete absence does not make the interior look chic.
White and blue
This color combination helps create a calm and peaceful atmosphere. An almost ideal color scheme for small and poorly lit rooms, as it makes them visually lighter and larger.
When adding red accents, associations with a marine style arise, although there may not be directly objects and decorations in the “marine” style. It is worth keeping in mind that if you are creating an interior in white and blue tones, it is not bright that looks more impressive, but dark or muted blue.
Orange or yellow and blue
Light blue with coral orange, cobalt blue with yellow, rich orange with almost black blue - in any case it will be an expressive combination. Fans of bright, but not pretentious interiors should take note of this particular interior color scheme.
Cream or white with brown
The calm color scheme does not irritate, but gives a feeling of comfort and peace, which is why it has remained popular for literally centuries. It is only important that the interior is not boring - add bright color accents to it, there may not be many of them, and they can be of almost any color. You should only use accents of pink and purple with caution, as they can make the interior tasteless if used inappropriately.
Red and beige-brown colors
Beige and brown bring comfort and peace to the interior, while red brings brightness and dynamics. Together, these colors balance each other, preventing the interior from becoming too “flashy” or, conversely, dull.
Unusual color combinations in the interior
They are not very suitable for apartments and houses of people who prefer classics, but for lovers of original, distinctly stylish and expressive interiors they can be an excellent find.
Gray and orange or yellow
Extremely fashionable combinations in our time, truly original and modern. Yellow and orange dilute the dullness of gray, but they themselves “fade out” a little against its background, so the color scheme of the room looks harmonious, not overly bright, but not boring either.
Green and yellow
The combination is rare because it is often difficult to choose shades of these colors that do not merge with each other. However, if the choice is made correctly, the interior turns out to be cozy and filled with optimism.
Bright designs with clean emerald green and sunny yellow are good for nursery, bathroom and kitchen designs. For the bedroom, living room, and dining room, it is better to choose muted shades of these colors, for example, lemon yellow with lime or honey with dark green.
Mint green with silver gray
In company with gray, mint color looks gentle and attractive, the interior turns out elegant and light. This is an excellent color solution for the bedroom, kitchen and children's room.
