Prioritize colors with low saturation
We should use light, less vibrant colors to create a comfortable feeling. The minimalist style with black - white - gray colors that are currently popular is thanks to the characteristic of low saturation.
When decorating furniture, do not use too many colors that are too bright because they can easily cause eye strain, creating a feeling of tension and discomfort if you look for a long time. In terms of aesthetics, colors that are too dark are also difficult to coordinate, easily causing dizziness and making the space quickly outdated.
Using colors to "expand" space
Color can change the perception of the room's area. If you choose a suitable color palette, the space may look significantly more spacious. Light, bright, cool tones and low saturation help the room feel more airy and spacious.
Conversely, warm, overly bright tones such as bright yellow or orange-red easily create a hot and cramped feeling, especially not suitable for small spaces.
In addition, bright colors create a high and airy space feeling, while dark colors create a heavy and low feeling. Therefore, for low ceilings, ceiling paint should be light, while floors and furniture should use darker colors to create visual height.
Control the number of colors in the room
The popularity of black - white - gray colors reflects the trend of simplicity in interior design. However, minimalism does not mean only using cold colors. The important principle is to limit the number of colors for easy coordination and avoid confusion, especially for those who do not have much experience.
However, to make the space less colorful but still deep and lively, it is necessary to pay more attention to materials, patterns and interior arrangements, not just relying on simple colors.
