Hoe je een kleurenpalet voor je huis vindt<\/h2>\n
Herken je het probleem? Er zijn zoveel prachtige kleuren; je kijkt op Pinterest en het ene moment denk je:<\/p>\n
...wit, ja, het is helder en rustig; ik maak alle muren wit!<\/em><\/p>\n \u2026.\u00a0Blauw, ja blauw, maar krijgt mijn woonkamer daardoor meer de uitstraling van een vakantiehuis aan zee?<\/em><\/p>\n \u2026. Ik hou van natuurlijke kleuren, maar is dat saai?<\/em><\/p>\n With this blog I want to give you some background about color choices so it will be easier for you to make YOUR OWN COLOR PALETTE<\/p>\n Johan Wolfgang Goethe was not only a German writer\/poet but also a scientist. He devoted much of his life to the study of colors. Although Isaac Newtons ideas about colors are more accepted Goethe was more interested in the psychological effects of colors.<\/p>\n Isaac Newton first passed white light through a prism and watched it fan out into a rainbow, he identified seven constituent colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Also known as the color wheel. This was the start of color theory.<\/p>\n The color circle from artist, designer and professor Johannes Itten is used from early 20th century. Itten describes the primary colors red, yellow and blue. The secondary colors orange, green and violet and the tertiary colors arising from the mixing of a primary and a secondary color.<\/p>\n Especially the seven color contrasts are still used in interior design.<\/p>\n Itten’s seven color contrasts are:<\/p>\n if you want to read more about this: Johannes Itten – Kunst der Farbe\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Goethe was more looking at the psychological effects of color. To give an impression of what a color can do with you some associations:<\/p>\n GREEN: relaxed, balanced, peace, nature, creative thinking, restful, quiet Use this information for the room or area you want to transform. Violet for your walk-in closet gives that luxurious feeling, Green in your bedroom makes you want to sleep, yellow in the hallway gives you energy when you enter your home, etc.<\/p>\n Some neutral colors<\/strong><\/p>\n WHITE: pure, clarity, fresh, Look at your wardrobe, towels, vases, art etc. Is there a color that you choose every time? This can be your guide for choosing a Color Palette. Of course if Red is often present you have to be aware that a red kitchen can be a bad investment, because it is difficult to change if your taste is changing or the color is disappointing, so think more of a painted red wall (can be changed in an afternoon and relatively cheap) or in the accessories.<\/p>\n Use the neutrals for high investment pieces like sofa, carpet, kitchen etc.<\/p>\n For colors there are 3 dimensions you have to keep in mind:<\/p>\n Why is this important, well if you want to use a monochromatic palette<\/strong> you can pull the colors from the same vertical area on a color scheme.<\/p>\n But if you want to use different colors<\/strong> you can connect those colors by using the same degree of light <\/strong>(Value) and\/or saturation<\/strong> (Chroma). Using this strategy you can tie it all together.<\/p>\n It can help you to choose from an existing collection of a paint company. The colors are already well coordinated so this can get you started.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Color collections based on:<\/p>\n Sikkens has a collection based on the Rijksmuseum colors,<\/a>\u00a0 during the renovation of the museum Sikkens developed together with experts of Restoration Atelier Limburg about sixty colors as used by architect Pieter Cuypers in\u00a0 1880. Now you have a choice out of 25 “Cuypers Colors” to bring inside your home.\u00a0 Another historic collection is based on the <\/span>Van Gogh colors<\/a>. can you imagine the characteristic Van Gogh Sunflower colors in your bedroom!<\/p>\n Ressource<\/a> has a heritage and nature collection of more than 360 shades which compose an infinite range of colors.<\/p>\n Benjamin Moore has a heritage<\/strong> collection based on 191 colors<\/a> inspired by America\u2019s historic landmarks.<\/p>\n Of course I wanted to answer the question “why I love al shades of green”<\/em> by writing this post. Green is the color of creative thinking and tranquility. Qualities I have (or that I would like to have). Also nature is important and nature (especially gardens) is a great love. That made it clear to me why I love this color.<\/p>\n Find more inspiration on pinterest<\/p>\n\n\nhttps:\/\/nl.pinterest.com\/woonlookbook\/colorful-livingroom\/<\/a>\n\n\n\n Other interior design tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\nSome color history<\/h2>\n
