Analogous And Rhythm



This Analogous colour scheme creates a warm and energetic environment as it incorporates the cheerfulness of yellow and the fieriness of red, however this versatile hue is still soft and subtle and would be great in a lounge or dining area. When using the analogous colour scheme, one should make sure there is one hue as the main colour.       

This image utilizes the use of rhythm, using the repetition of a colour to impart a sense of flow throughout a room or an entire living space, to lead the eye from one element of design to another. As you can see in the picture above the colours used are Orange-Yellow, Orange and Red-Orange. You can establish a rhythm by using a colour in the cushions, picking it up in a painting, then echoing it again in a rug.

Get this look:   



The first thing to do is to sound out your colour wheel, this colour scheme uses colours that are adjacent to eachother on the colour wheel. 


The next thing you will need to do to get your desired look is to: 


Pick your chosen Analogous colour pallet, in this case its Orange-Red,Orange and Yellow-Orange. 

You now have a pallet for your space.

You can take this with you to design stores to help you with selecting the pieces in which you will put in your room:





You need to be careful when choosing your furniture. You will notice that this chairs hue is too dark for your colour scheme. A good idea is to put it against your colour pallet to see if it matches your chosen colours.





Yay! This is more like it, as you can tell the orange relates to your colour scheme much more then the chair above. You can purchase this from here.




This cushion is quite different to the one that's in the picture however the patterns in this would work just as well and lovely with the rest of the interior in the room. The zig zag will add a bit more interest to the look. You can purchase this from here


And for your final touch.

A stunning orange pendent like this one here will complete the look of your beautiful space, the shape is fun and unique and will work in just perfect with the colour scheme! You can get this from here


And lastly

Have fun while you design!
