Achromatic and symmetry

This achromatic colour scheme uses only black, white and grey, they posses no other hue. This colour scheme is restrained and sophisticated.

The design element that has been used within this scheme is:

Symmetry, by placing the two round side tables with the lamps on both ends of the sofa with the two round cushions, it creates a sense of balance.

By doing this you can create a harmonious and beautifuly proportioned space.

Tetradic

This tetradic scheme is the richest of colour schemes, it combines 4 colours on the colour wheel. Though it is hard to harmonize, if all colours are used in equal amounts the scheme may look unbalanced. So you should choose one colour to be more dominant, in this case it would be purple.

This image utlizes the use of:

Rhythm in pattern: with the floral pattern within the duvet cover then a floral pattern print on the canvas.

Line: the diagonal lines on the ceiling create a sense of interest within the room and the horizontal lines in the drapes and on the duvet cover.
Harmony in colour: pulling all the pieces of colour together to create a beautiful colour scheme.

Next:

Sound out your colour wheel and choose the four colours you wish to use, in this case we are using Yellow-orange, green,blue-purple and Red. 

However we wil be using a tint of red that looks more pink for this scheme. 

Now pick your colour pallet!

Remember to take this along with you when purchasing your furniture.
