Split-Complementary




This split-complementary colour scheme is a variation of the complementary colour scheme. in addition to the base colour in this case is a beautiful calm blue, and it uses the two adjacent to its complement which is red and orange. The orange here definitely gives the room a pop of colour! and makes it an exciting room to decorate. 

This colour scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary colour scheme, but has less tension. The split-complimentary colour scheme is often a good place to start for beginners in D.I.Y.


This colour scheme utilizes the use of visual texture, the use of orange damask pattern that is upon the wall and light shade screams feel me.
Visual texture is an illusion of having of having physical texture.

It also utilizes the use of harmony, the colours used in this image all compliment eachother and are all pulled together to create a harmonious scheme in a bedroom.

Get this look:



Firstly you will need to sound out your colour wheel. This colour scheme uses one base colour and then takes two that are adjacent to it.

The next thing you will need to do:


Pick your chosen split-complementary colour pallet, in this case its Red, Orange and Blue-green.

Remember to take this with you to the design stores to help you pick out your furniture.



This pale blue bed frame will work in well with the interior. The blue brings calmness into the space yet still works in well with the bright pops of colour.
