Interior Trends: Complementary Colors

 
Colorful décor is used for numerous purposes within interiors. Color variations can visually change the proportions of a room, create a mood, make a room feel cool or warm, and link different areas in your home. A popular trend for bold colors in interior decorating is the use of complementary color schemes. Complementary colors include combinations of red & green, purple & yellow, and orange & blue. Complementary colors are directly opposite of each other on the color wheel. Because there is a strong contrast between complementary colors, rooms using this scheme are bold, lively, and exciting. Complementary colors create a sense of harmony and create an interesting and pleasing palette. Boring combinations like gray and white tend be overlooked because they just don't hold our interest.
