Color combination of walls, floor and ceiling

There are many ways with which you can enlarge a small room or make the room too large a little smaller and more comfortable, using only paints. Let's consider some of them.

Gradient combination

(light ceiling, darker walls, dark floor, or the same combination in reverse order)

When decorating residential premises, gradient transitions are often used. For example, the walls separating a light ceiling and a dark floor make an “intermediate” tone. This technique is used in the decoration of monochrome rooms, for example, in a classic style. Such combinations look very harmonious and stylish.

Gradient transitions pleasant to the eyes and have a beneficial effect on the nervous system, bringing harmony and peace. A similar finish can be used in any room.

Depending on the intensity of the shade of the finishing materials, the furniture may be light or dark. The rooms will look great, the floors in which are the color of dark chocolate, the ceilings are the color of fresh cream, and the walls are a shade of cocoa with milk. White, brown, black can be chosen as complementary or accent colors. Furniture for a room with such a combination of floor, wall and ceiling colors can be of any shade, but desirable is the color of natural wood.

Contrast combination

(light ceiling, bright walls, dark floor)

When painting residential premises, in addition to gradient combinations of the colors of the walls, ceiling and floor, contrast transitions are often used. This combination looks very advantageous. It is used in various styles, and helps to make the perception of the room more harmonious, “hiding” its shortcomings.

Low ceiling. If the room has too low ceilings, choose light colors for the ceiling and dark colors for the floor. Walls can also be contrasting. In the event that you use wallpaper, choose drawings stretched from floor to ceiling.

With this combination of colors of the floor, walls and ceiling, it will seem that the height of the ceilings is greater than it actually is. One condition: ceiling cornices should not be wide, but better to do without them at all. A contrasting shade on the walls will create an impression of depth, and a light ceiling will “soar” over this volume.

Narrow room. If the room has not only a low ceiling, but also the wrong proportions - for example, it is elongated, this can be fixed. It is necessary to paint short walls in contrasting tones, and elongated - in neutral. This method will help to "squeeze" the room in the desired direction, it will acquire more correct proportions.

In the rooms designed in such a way light furniture looks advantageous, and bright colored accessories will help to create a memorable interior. In addition, to extend the narrow room will help furniture placed across the room.

Bright hues

(light ceiling and walls, dark floor)

The combination of colors in a room can add light and air to it. For example, in small rooms, as a rule, the walls and ceiling are finished with light colors, and the floor, on the contrary, is dark. The shade of paint on the walls and ceiling should be as light as possible, preferably white. Also white should be cornices, platbands and plinths, in extreme cases, they can have a slight shade of the main tone.

To enhance the impression of airiness, avoid heavy, bulky furniture, bright upholstery.Let there be few objects - only the most necessary, while their shapes should not be too elaborate. Light carpets look good on the dark floor - they help to zone the space and facilitate its perception.

Opposite colors

(dark ceiling, floor and light walls or light ceiling, floor and dark walls)

This combination of colors of walls, ceiling and floor are universal and can be used in rooms with a variety of geometries. This design option can look very advantageous for both high and low ceilings, the difference is only in the way color contrasts are applied.

• High ceilings. If you feel the need to “lower” the ceiling a little to make the room more comfortable, the combination of the colors of the floor, walls and ceiling is done in this way: the floor and ceiling are dark, the walls are light. Moreover, cold shades on light walls will “push them away” even more, and warm shades on the floor and ceiling will “zoom in”.
• Low ceilings. To visually “raise” the ceilings, make them two-level. Paint the main level of the ceiling with dark, cold tones, and the suspended ceiling with light colors. Due to this design, the ceiling will gain volume and will seem higher. Dark floors in this case are necessary - they will act as a “counterbalance” to balance the complex ceiling structure.
