For example, below I created a tetrad with our blue as in the sofas as the base color. It’s compliment is yellow. I chose to use yellow in the wall color, in a a less saturated and lighter yellow than in it’s blue compliment to keep it more neutral. I also used yellow in the buff colored leather ottomans and an accent in the flowers on the coffee table.
The other pair of compliments are the red/purple and green. I used the red/purple in the area rug, and the green in the pillows, pouf and plants and the art.
The rest of the design I kept neutral with the white chairs, accent tables and lamps and plant stands.
Overall in this design the blue and red-purple are most dominant, followed by the green and with yellow mainly as an accent.
Great post Mary! You tackled a difficult topic with such grace, I sure you have inspired all of your readers!!
Thanks so much Amy. This has been a fun topic to explore and experiment with:) I hope people are inspired to try something new.
Your renderings are always incredible! I love seeing all of the different color schemes that you create!
Thank you so much! I am so glad you are enjoying this series. I am too!
I love that you show the different color schemes side by side in the same room – it makes it so easy to understand the different moods that different choices will create!
Thank you! It is a lot of fun to play with color and see how your different choices affect the way the space makes you feel. Another great reason to hire a designer to show you the options before you paint or purchase anything:)
