Visual effects of pastel colors
Unobtrusive soft shades of pastel colors visually expand the room and fill the space with air. For spacious halls this is not important, but for small living rooms it is very important. Light walls are the best option for small rooms.
The room seems lighter, even when it is cloudy outside; it is no coincidence that pastel colors are inherent in the English style, because in England there is such a strong lack of sunlight.
Pastel colors are obtained by mixing white paint with a base color filler, so now you can create thousands of different shades for painting walls. Wallpaper is also used to decorate walls in pastel colors; they can be with a soft geometric or floral pattern.
A surprisingly harmonious combination of pastel colors in the interior. Primary colors in their usual form do not look good together. But, apparently, due to the common white base, pastel colors can be combined in any way, the main thing is to find a balance between warm and cold shades when using them. All pastel colors go well with white; it gives them brightness and volume.
Often designers suggest making walls in different colors in one room. If they skillfully zone the room and select shades that are pleasant to you, this technique will make the interior more modern and interesting.
Living room design in pastel colors: options for combining with other colors
By combining different colors and shades, you can achieve unexpected results. Just remember one condition - do not overdo it and maintain the main requirements of harmony.
Shades are combined with each other according to one of two principles - analogy or contrast. In the first case, they use colors that transform into one another in accordance with the rainbow spectrum. In a pastel-colored living room, such transitions look great.
The combination of contrasting shades provides for the principle of opposites. Delicate lilac color looks appropriate together with lemon, and orange beige successfully sets off the blue tone. In such cases, one of the colors is chosen as the main one - it should be slightly lighter than the others. Other shades are used to complement; individual elements are painted in them - paintings, vases, pillows.
If you want to create a more delicate environment, use shades of the same paint.
Equally important is lighting. In natural light, each object looks cooler and lighter; in artificial light, it begins to play with warm colors.
By the way, small details also create a play of colors. For a pastel-colored living room, wallpaper with white patterns, stucco on the ceiling, and furniture decor are appropriate.
Living room decoration
All shades of beige, green, pistachio are suitable for decorating a living room. Such colors will help you quickly tune in to the general wavelength, promote calm communication and relaxation in the living room, where guests are received, family gathers, and various issues are resolved.
This color scheme combines all shades of wood on the floor, window frames, and furniture trim. Tablecloths, curtains, roller blinds are suitable in beige, green, red, burgundy tones. It’s good if the main colors of the interior are found in the design elements of the curtains, and the curtains or tulle themselves have some shine.
Pastel shades themselves may turn out to be boring if they are not supported by the overall design. But they allow you to decorate the room with your favorite paintings, family photographs; there can be multi-colored pillows on the sofas; against the background of light walls, all these items will not look tacky and intrusive.
Gray and off-white walls with plain furniture will help create a room in a minimalist style. Strict lines, a minimum of details, hidden lighting sources. Nothing extra. Maximum space for the play of light.
Cream walls with a pistachio sofa and armchairs may well become design elements of a room for a man if the laminate and tables are made of dark shades of wood.
Hall in pastel colors: choosing popular colors
Beige is suitable for any interior design - classic, Scandinavian, hi-tech and loft. It is considered more popular in interior decoration because it fills the interior with a feeling of nobility. Looks ideal with any materials - wood, brick, vinyl or paper wallpaper, metal. Everything done in beige looks good.
Those who want to add dynamics to the living room can use chocolate or brick-colored accents, which look especially ideal. Fans of bright colors will also like the beige color, which will ideally dilute the living room, made in red tones.
Yellow paint is considered to be as close as possible to beige; it looks good in an interior decorated in a “classic” or modern direction. Shades can be different - soft lemon and peach. A living room painted in yellow creates an impression of joy. Lemon color looks good in a small room.
A room decorated in peach color looks cozy. This color is suitable for a spacious room or for a hall whose window openings are directed towards the north. In this case, the yellow color is used carefully - in certain situations, objects look as if they are dirty, after some time the yellow paint begins to irritate.
Using pink paint, they create a feeling of tenderness and provide an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. This color is best suited for decoration in a classic style. Remember that pink is very distracting, so it is best to dilute it in the room with other neutral shades - white, beige or light gray paints. If you do not use this technique, the room will look oppressive. When decorating a large living room, it is best to make accents in blue.
Blue and turquoise colors fill the space with freshness and coolness. A living room done in shades of blue helps you focus and concentrate. These colors are used when decorating a room in a classic or “modern” style, and the windows of the room can face south or west. Blue, cyan and turquoise shades combine well with many other colors, so they are often used to zone a spacious living room.
