Apartment decorate sound out? At my new apartment I am going to hold an open...
At my new apartment I am going to hold an open kitchen. The kitchen open to the living room and dining room. My new dishes and color undertaking is blue.
My question is: Would it look strange if I picked different colors for the living room? - like brown, green and burgundy? Or should I hold the space the same colors so it doesn't look close to there is no decorate style at all - next to all different colors?
Hope this make sense... new to decorate! Thanks :o)
Answers: The easiest way to net the space "flow" and seem cohesive is to keep going the same wallcolor throughout.
It doesn't hold to be something boring and bland ... but it's best to stay neutral on the walls. "Neutral" doesn't own to mean off-white or light brown!
A color that would work with your blue (for your kitchen) as powerfully as the brown, green and burgundy for the living room is a taupe (grey-beige). The grey component makes it compatible beside blue, while the beige warm it a bit ... would go resourcefully with the electric fire colors in the living room.
It could be as lighting or dark as you close to. If your apartment gets plentifully of natural pale, you could go rather deeper with the wallcolor ... except, you'd want to stay lighter on the walls.
Carry your kitchen blue through a bit to the adjacent rooms ... a toss-pillow, a candle, maybe a fabric that uses the burgundy/green/brown AND blue ... and be sure to add on a bit of the living-area colors to the kitchen as well ... you can also use artwork to relief unify a space. Even a framed poster placed surrounded by an area between rooms can abet with the transition between spaces if it contains colors from both.
Don't consistency apologetic about one new to decorate ... I've made 10 mistakes for every 1 thing I've done right! And bookish the hard route, most times ... especially about "chopping up" areas near different paint-colors ... it's really jarring to the eye.
Have fun and polite luck ... let your eye be the guide ... if you love it, it's exactly right for you!
You can own different themes (colors) for respectively room, but always tie something contained by with the others...for instance, if you want to extend your kitchen blues into the living room, be sure to own some throw pillows, wall art or a rug that has a bit of that blue along near the colors of the adjoining room.
