In interior design as in art, a hue rarely exists in isolation. A home’s walls and
doors do not constitute finality. A beautiful home is designed and constructed with
an intentional interior flow. And so it follows that there is an art in developing a
color palette that sequences color from one room to another. The process begins
at the entry and continues either through corridors that form the arteries of a home
or expands into a single grand and open living space. Creating a seamless
transition from one room to the next requires careful selection of colors.
In order to maintain a cohesive interior design scheme, rooms that radiate from
common areas – whether off a hallway or from a centralized space - should be
considered part of the same design/color plan.
This doesn’t mean that rooms must have the same colors or different shades of
one. Colors can change from room to room provided that there is something in
each space that relates to each and every room in the home. In addition to color
choice, this can also be achieved with furnishings, textiles, and accessories. It can
also be accomplished by using accent colors that creatively relate to one another.
For example, this entry foyer is painted a dark gray laced with a good deal of
brown. A lighter shade continues into the living room. Around the corner, the
kitchen is painted a medium metallic gray while the guest room paint is textured to
look and feel like luxurious gray suede.
Black accents in the living room - rug, coromandel screen, and accessories -
reappear in the master bedroom whose walls are a sorbet yellow while the
furnishings are shades of ivory (of the brown family) which brings us full circle.
