How to navigate the color trends as we step into 2025!
If you want add a fresh touch to your living space, understanding the upcoming color palette for upholstery and interiors is key. Let's explore the hues that will define your sunset coral interior color palette.
Color Theory Basics
Have you ever wondered how to select colors that go together? It all starts with the color wheel. Red, blue and yellow are primary colors. Every color starts with those three. Secondary colors are made up of two primary colors mixed together for example blue and yellow together make green. Then there are the Tertiary colors. Tertiary colors are a combination of one secondary and one primary color. For example blue (primary) and green (secondary) makes blue-green or in other word a turquoise or teal color.
Secondary and tertiary colors that have more yellow in them are considered warm colors in contrast to secondary and tertiary colors that have more blue in them. They are considered cool colors.
The Art of Choosing Colors
If you love Sunset Coral, one of the key colors for 2025, here are some tips for choosing your color palette.
Monochromatic color scheme
A monochromatic color scheme has tints and shades of one single color
Analogous Color Scheme
An analogous color scheme is a group of three colors that are next to each other on a color wheel. Sunset Coral is a perfect balance between red and orange or a red-orange tertiary color.
An analogous color scheme could be red-orange (sunset coral), orange and orange-yellow or red-violet, red and red-orange (sunset coral).
Complimentary Color Schemes
A complementary color scheme combines colors opposite each other on the color wheel. This type of color scheme creates a high amount of visual contrast and vibrancy, making complementary colors really stand out when used together. Complementary colors are great for creating focal points and drawing attention in interior design. When you combine warm and cool shades, saturation, and textures, complementary color schemes can make for stylish, bold, and modern room designs.
Because Sunset Coral is a perfect balance between red and orange it can be paired with a green (green/red), blue (blue/orange) or teal (blue-green/red-orange) as a compliment.
Striking a Balance
Here are some great tips from The Interior Design Institute:
Use Neutrals for Contrast: To prevent the scheme from becoming overwhelming, incorporate neutral colors like white, beige, or grey. These neutrals provide a resting place for the eyes and help balance the more vibrant hues.
Vary Textures and Patterns: Adding different textures and patterns can create depth and interest without disrupting the color harmony. Consider using textured fabrics, patterned wallpaper, or varied finishes to enhance the visual appeal.
Consider Lighting: Lighting can significantly impact how colors appear in a space. Pay attention to how natural and artificial lighting affects your chosen colors, and adjust accordingly to maintain the desired mood.
Elevate Your Space with Color
Incorporating trendy colors into your upholstery and accent furniture pieces is a fantastic way to revamp your living space. Whether you're a fan of bold and bright hues or prefer a more subdued palette, 2025 offers a diverse range of options to suit every taste.
