Successful combinations
How to use milky color in design? You can decorate furniture (for example, kitchen units), walls, or both in light and warm colors.
The interior of a kitchen in a classic style is usually monochrome. The design uses one color and its shades. In this case, it is complemented by brown, beige, and cream.
Modern classics allow you to dilute the light color scheme with contrasting dark shades. For example, black technology.
To prevent the design from blending into a boring monochromatic spot, it is recommended to use darker colors in the dining area or in textile decoration, for example.
A contrasting dark apron, as in the photo below, can dilute the interior.
If a monochrome design seems boring, then you can safely dilute it with bright elements. The most stylish combinations are:
- blue;
- blue-green, emerald, etc.;
- terracotta;
- coral;
- pistachio;
- blue;
- violet;
- cherry or marsala;
- yellow;
- lilac.
Modern style allows you to work more freely with these combinations.
The trend is complex blue-green mixtures and mint tones.
A complex and rich blue can be used in an accent wall. Other adjacent walls can be painted milky to soften it.
Other fashionable shades are caramel, amber and also similar in tone “spicy honey”.
Wood goes well with it, as, for example, in the photo below: light, warm walls and wood-like facades.
Correct lighting
After arranging the furniture and decorative items, you need to decide on the lighting. Even a very bright room can give a gloomy impression due to lack of sunlight.
To find the optimal location of lamps, it is worth considering the total area of the room and assessing the visual impression at different times of the day.
It is important to choose the right color of lamps: yellowish lighting will make the room warmer, while blue lighting may “cool” the room too much. Therefore, it is better to stay with the neutral option.
Milky shoes
An excellent choice for every day for early autumn and the passing summer are milky ballet flats, which, due to their versatility, can be combined with almost all clothes, jeans, a variety of trousers and skirts, dresses and business suits, both in rich and pastel palettes. A chic solution for an elegant evening paired with beautiful dresses and trouser evening suits - dress shoes with stiletto heels or printed mid-heels in milky shades.
Decor selection
Decorative elements can be either simple or complex, taking on the role of an accent. It is the details that allow you to complete the decor and create a harmonious interior.
Bright rugs, carpets, sofa cushions, paintings, lamps, floor vases are suitable.
By choosing a contrasting palette, you can draw the attention of guests to individual decor items. In order to make the environment even more pleasant, designers advise placing live plants in the room.
