Whangarei Custom Home Inspiration: Working with Colours and Textures

For many of us, colour and texture are two of the most important aspects of a beautiful custom home.


We all desire a Whangarei custom home that is beautifully decorated in a variety of hues and textures. But striking a balance between the two can be tricky, as we don’t want to go overboard with the design and end up with a pastiche of colours and clashing textures.

Getting the pattern, colour, and texture combination of a space just right is essential to its overall aesthetic appeal. Here are some brilliant tips on working with colours and textures:

GO BOLD AND BRIGHT

The lack of texture and colour in a minimalist design might make a space appear flat or drab if you’re not purposely minimalist. Otherwise, it’s a dreary place with a lot of design promise that’s being wasted. So why not make the most of it, by adding a bit of colour or touches of textures here and there. That said, incorporating pattern and adding texture to a place may help bring it to life and establish distinct living areas. Natural materials, architectural elements, tactile pieces, fixtures and fabrics are all good options for adding brilliant texture.

MANAGING COLOURS

Decorating with the 60-30-10 guideline is a tried-and-true method that makes it simple to put together a cohesive color scheme. The 60 percent, 30 percent, and 10 percent proportion is intended to offer any area a sense of harmony when it comes to the colors that are utilised.


The notion is that the hue that makes up sixty percent of the room acts as a focal point and also provides a backdrop for the subsequent elements. The secondary color accounts for thirty percent of your total. The amount of this color that you use will be one-fifth that of your primary color. The remaining ten percent, which is your accent color, can be used to draw attention to certain parts of the design; doing so gives you the option to go extra chic!

PLAN AND STAY ON BUDGET

Having a design plan will help you stay on track and on budget. Become familiar with a variety of design styles, including how to pair colours and textures for a cohesive look.

BIG AND SMALL PIECES HELP

It is not necessary for colours and textures to come solely from your pick of paint, tiles, and wallpaper. A room’s texture can also be improved by the addition of furniture and other set pieces. You want these things to look beautiful since they are visually dominant and will attract attention to themselves. After you’ve identified those, you may fill in the spaces with other accent items like antiques, objects of decor, pillows, and throw rugs, among other things.

LIGHTING IS KEY

Any colour combination won’t work without proper room lighting. Walls and surfaces can reflect or absorb light depending on their colours to influence interior spaces.


The most accurate depiction of colour may be seen whenever natural light is used, and because of the home’s orientation, the sun’s position during the day or even through the changing of the seasons, you will notice the tones of various colour palettes shift subtly throughout your home.


So for rooms with no natural light source, we rely on artificial light sources from ambient to accent lighting to task lighting. When layered well, these different lighting factors illuminate colour and texture schemes differently. Room elements and objects appear to change in appearance when certain lights are turned on because your lighting absorbs or reflects different colours. Using too much or too little lighting in an interior area can have a negative impact on the overall feel of the room, it can even ruin a room’s atmosphere.
