It is known that colors affect our sensations and cause various perception of space. These effects become even more visible in the monochrome interior, where the floors, ceilings, walls and furniture are solved in a specific color. However, when creating monochrome interiors, you need to adhere to several rules.
Where to begin?
Find starting point. If you start a project from scratch, then set the common tone of the room will be easier by taking the floor or carpet. If you need to hold a redesign, then make furniture items that you would like to keep, starting the point of monochromatic interior. Lighter shades are recommended for large surfaces and walls, and more energetic - for furniture and small accents. For upholstery of large pieces of furniture, such as a sofa, you can choose the main color to strengthen the palette. Small furniture items can be darker and light shades to create an ombre effect.Start with small. For those who develop a monochrome interior for the first time, it is better to choose a small space, such as bathroom. "The use of one color soothes and is suitable for the bathroom, and the use of too heterogeneous palette can make the already small closer space," says Sasha Bikkof, New York designer, painting the bathroom in one of its projects in a cool grinding color.
Designer Alexey Rosenberg applied a monochromatic scheme in order to emphasize the collection of three-dimensional models of the characters of films that the owner of the house collects. Gray shades look effectively at the expense of differentifactore materials: plaster, ceramics and metal.
Designers often prefer monochromatic schemes for the design of corporate interiors. For example, GRT Architects for one of the Objective Subject Office rooms as the main used black. Butiá arquitetura In the new headquarters Vakinha preferred green, and the Airbase Architects and Apostrophy's for the BBTV TV channel office is deep "digital" blue.

If you do not feel the courage to apply a bright rich color, then the New York designer Laura Bon advises to choose the brightest shade in the spectrum of your favorite color: "In some cases it will look almost white, but believe me, you will have enough color. You are not mistaken. If you are looking for something more intense, of course, you can increase the intensity. But if you are afraid, just choose the brightest shade. "

Use textures / textures
In monophonic interiors, the diversity and depth are achieved through the use of a variety of materials that attract the attention of textures, textures and forms. Differences in texture and texture do not give color to become flat. "Council No. 1, which I would give those who create a monochrome interior is to use textures. The use of bright colors is no different from the creation of a completely white room or an interior in beige and gray tones, and sometimes the color is more relaxing, "the designer from New York Meyer is divided by the adviser. The blue interior for duplex is an excellent confirmation of his words.
Textures and prints are a great way to supplement the color scheme: boldly use them in decorative pillows, rugs or curtains. In the prints can occur white or black colors - they are combined with any color and a little revive the room. However, be careful with excessively fractional patterns, if your goal is to create a simple and harmonious style.
Should I enter an additional color?
Monochromicity enthusiasts are likely to abandon the introduction of additional color other than the general gamma. However, the dosage addition of a contrasting color will give the interior an additional impulse. "Strong contrast greatly revives. It is fun and less template. Nothing should be too perfect. In the "ideal" room, it is impossible to even put a cup of coffee of another color or put a newspaper, "the New York designer Lilly Bann is recognized, which in one of his projects placed a bright orange sofa in the center of the purple room.
Monochrome interiors due to various shades add depth and character space. They serve as an excellent background for works of art and collectibles, allowing art objects to dominate in space. However, monochrome decisions can give birth to a variety of emotions - from calming to excuses, therefore it is worth choosing shades that cause you joy, give a feeling of comfort and visually increase the space.
