You might have heard that green colour often brings peace and balance into a space. For years different hues of green have been associated with many benefits, including relaxation and stress relief. As there is a lot of truth to it, other colours are worth exploring too! Similar to green, blue and white also can invoke similar feelings. For that reason, it might be worth incorporating them into your bedroom, so as to promote calmness and serenity through blankets, accent chairs or fuzzy rugs. However, if you want to introduce more energy into your space, think about various reds, purples and yellows. Red signifies passion, yellow happiness and purple adds a touch of mystery and luxury.
Matching colours to Your Home Decor
Matching colours into your space is easier than one might think if you remember these few crucial insights. Firstly, think about these three groups of colours: complementary, analogous and monochromatic.
Complementary colours
Regarding complementary colours, think of contrasting hues on the colour wheel. Think of blue and orange or red and green. Because they clash, they can create a dynamic aesthetic in a room. In order to use them most efficiently, pick one colour to be dominant (for example for your walls) and the other for furniture or decor items. If you opt for a red accent wall, put a nice green chair like this Velvet Bottle Green Marianna Manual Recliner Wingback Chair.
Analogous colours
Analogous colours refer to the hues that are next to each other on the colour wheel. Because they usually complement one another, they can create cohesive and interesting spaces. Take 2 or 3 hues into consideration. The most popular ones include orange, red orange and red, while green, blue green and blue are slowly getting more recognition and appreciation. In such a case, you can pick one colour for your walls, one for chairs or sofas and one for accessories.
Monochromatic colours
Monochromatic colours refer to different shades of one, singular colour and thus allow to create more depth in a space. Monochromatic hues will be best for those who do not want to be distracted by different colours and want to create a more clean look in their spaces. The key to creating an interesting monochromatic space is to look for furniture upholstered in different textures. Think of Faux Leather Accent Chairs or Bouclé Accent Chairs.

If you’re searching for something more relaxing, maybe blue and green hues will be best for you. In order to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, various tones of browns, beiges and creams will be worth considering in the first place. However, if you’re looking for something more bold and elegant, try muted purples and navy blues with the elements of gold.
