Color Schemes for Different Home Styles

Finding your ideal partner takes some work; so when it comes to painting a home, selecting a color scheme is equally essential.

One way to ensure that the paint colors in your home flow nicely from room to room is to consider sightlines. This involves identifying which rooms can be seen from other spaces and what impact their colors will have on one another.

Black and White

Black and white is an timeless color combination, providing the opportunity for any room’s design aesthetic – be it clean and minimalistic or bold and striking. Additionally, it serves as an effective background that sets other hues off or can serve as an eye-catching accent in an otherwise subdued space.

Brown is an earthy hue that pairs well with almost every shade of black, thanks to its warm tones that balance out the coldness of black while its natural wood characteristics complementing an earthy style that many homeowners appreciate.

Aqua blue goes well with pink, yellow-orange and coral colors as well as shades of green such as pine needle, sage and teal.

Use monochromatic tones such as taupe and tan for an elegant effect; layer textured fabrics with decor pieces in different hues for optimal effect. Throw blankets and pillows of various shades may add another dimension of dimension.

Use an analogous color scheme (colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel) as another means of working with this pairing, keeping your palette light and neutral while adding in some contrasting shades for more dramatic effects.

White and Yellow

Yellow and white colors form an easy pairing, often connoting feelings of joy, motivation and purity. As such, these hues are popular choices in design schemes ranging from logos and branding campaigns to home interiors.

Yellow and white provide a striking visual contrast without becoming visually tiresome. Mixtures of these hues can also produce more nuanced colors such as pale pinks and off-whites for even greater visual impact.
