Color Schemes

Monochromatic Scheme:

 

In the above image, I chose to use the color green. Green is a cool color that is very relaxing and natural. I also chose to use dark woodwork to add a warmer feel which the family asked for. The decore in the room "matches" the color green. Since the color green is often seen in nature, I added decore pieces that would also be seen in nature. This includes the wall art, the sculpture, and the pillows. The different shades of green are what gives this room a warm monochromatic feel.
Here are a few color swatches that were used in this design:

Analogous Scheme:



An analogous color scheme is made up of two colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. In the above image, I used green and blue to create an analogous color scheme. The reason the room is so dark is because it is meant to be a theater room. There are lights located along the back side of the room above the seating. I tried to maximize the seating as well since there are five people in the family. The sofa alone could seat five people. Accent pillows and blankets are a great way to accesorize the room and add more color. I feel I acheived this technique as well as add more comfort to the room.

Complementary Scheme:

In the above image, I used the colors blue and orange to create a complementary color scheme. Complementary colors are two colors that are across each other on the color wheel. I felt that blue and orange were a good choice for a teenage boy's room. The colors are very bright and energetic. The nutral colors such as tan and brown help tone down the brightness of the other colors.

Triadic Scheme:
   

The above image is composed of many different colors. I chose to use the warm colors such as red and yellow. I feel that warm colors are very energetic and welcoming. I then added the blue to make it feel more calming. This loft area would be used for the family's game room. I intend on adding a game table in the center of the room. I added seating and art work to the small nook to fill the space with a comfortable atmosphere. I also added a small desk and chair off the the left side so the kids could have a place to work.
