Analogous color schemes are much more easy to understand than they sound. Grouping three colors together – that sit beside each other – on the color wheel is all that word means. It doesn’t matter which end you’re taking from, just as long as they’re neighbors. Whether it’s red, red-orange and orange or violet, red-violet and red, grouping these like-minded tones together will create an interesting, harmonious and slightly monochromatic look for any room of the house.
When deciding on a scheme of this genre, the directions are simple. First, choose your main mother color and then choose two or three, even, colors on either side of it! Let’s have a peek at some real-life rooms that made this happen and you can get a feel for what they look like and how to use them inside your own home!
1. Red, Red-Orange & Red-Violet
Combining these warm, rich hues creates a relaxing and inviting bedroom with so much easy and simplicity that it’s hard not to want to jump right into bed for an afternoon nap. It’s also got quite the passionate and fiery appeal, don’t you think?
