For convenience, to save money and time, you can apply one color to the whole house. However, this will make the house feel boring and lose its characteristics. A house with a harmonious color combination will make your family feel comfortable and want to stay at home for the whole day because your house looks more beautiful. Referring to the minimalist home color trend, earth colors, or what are usually called earthy tones, are the most popular colors, such as blue, green, and grey. They are often used to bring a warm and calm ambiance into the house. Therefore, combining the right color combination is very important.
House paint is not just the color of the walls, but the whole house paints including walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, doors and frames, and even the color of the curtains.
Use the Discs Color
From the three basic paint colors: red, yellow, and blue, secondary, tertiary, and derivative colors will be obtained. The easiest way to get harmonious colors is to choose colors next to each other. However, if you want to get contrasting colors but still harmonious and not tacky, opposite colors each other, or colors that form 900 angle will complement each other and combine harmoniously.
Adjust to room size
Light colors, such as white, light yellow, and light brown are recommended to give a spacious impression to a small space. However, that doesn’t mean the choices are limited. Other darker color choices can be applied to furniture, cushions, or walls, but in small portions. Applying white and light brown wood colors is one way for most minimalist open-plan spaces, good for a narrow combination of kitchen and family room. The yellow color on the dining chairs and round sofa for pop art style will combine harmoniously with the black and white on the cushions -on the gray sofa. The dark gray sofa is placed as a point of interest in the open-plan room which is dominated by white paint with a minimalist impression using natural colored wood.
Determine a Concept for Each Room
Minimalist style doesn’t have to be 100%, it can also combined with contemporary style, pop art, and so on. The most important thing is that each room must be designed to be as comfortable as possible according to its function.
Point of Interest that you want to highlight
Each room will have its own characteristics if it has a point of interest. To highlight and make points of interest more impressive and meaningful in a space, the role of color is very important.
Different Colors as Space Boundaries
The characteristics of each room will differ according to the function accommodated in it. In open-plan spaces that unite several rooms in one room at once, different colors can be used as borders for each room.
So, the color choices for minimalist house paint are not limited. Determine the needs, concepts, and impressions you want to display in each room. Take advantage of the color disc to determine the balance of harmony or contrast of the color combination that will be used. Pay attention to the portion used for each color.
