Triadic Living Room




Have you lately been feeling rather funky and want to try something a tad different with the interior of your living room? Well your in luck as i have found a brilliant example of a retro inspired living room that only contains three simple colours to get an amazing result. 

The Triad color schemes are formed by three equally spaced colors on the wheel. An example is red, blue and yellow - spaced with three colors between. 

This living area utilizes the use of repetition using the colour yellow and and placing that exact colour throughout the room to create flow, this room also creates a radial balance.  Radial balance occurs when all the elements radiate out from a central point and the visual weight is distributed equally. Radial balance creates a strong focal point in the center of the design. Clock faces and daisies are examples of radial balance. 

As you can tell, the furniture in this room is surrounding the coffee table which is in the center.





To create this look:

Firstly we will need to create a colour pallet with your three colours, in this case its,
Blue, Yellow and Red 
I found a pallet that contained the shade and tint of the main hue and found that the shades of the colors chosen fit in perfectly with the colour scheme.


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: 




This rug is nearly identical as the one in the picture! This chevron rug brings a bit of funkiness into the design and will complement your chosen furniture.
You can buy this here.


These chairs are not exactly the same as the ones shown in the picture however they will work just as well! The retro look to these mustard yellow chairs will add much more interest into the design . 
You can buy these here.






This dark red couch will work well along side your yellow armchairs!
Buy this here.

And lastly.

This stunning little coffee table will complete the retro look of this design and be your center piece of the room.
