The combination of dark shades in the interior: floor and walls
The atmosphere in the room largely depends on the color combination of the interior elements. The main load is borne by large parts: floor, ceiling, walls.
Playing shades, you can visually change the shape and size of the room. This fact has both positive and negative consequences. Dark shades are difficult to harmoniously combine so as not to create a gloomy mood. But there are a number of features, knowing which, designers draw up rooms that are stunning in their beauty and comfort.
Dark colors of the interior
It is difficult to unambiguously evaluate the possibilities and results of using dark shades in the interior. It is generally accepted that the room will turn out gloomy and cramped. But you can look at the situation from the other side: dark colors are deeper and more saturated.
Based on this statement, a new trend in modern design is built. Interior decoration masters recommend creating extra volume and space in large rooms using a light palette. Premises of modest size with the right approach will turn into cozy rooms decorated with dark elements. It will turn out a certain box in which entertaining little things are stored. Such an interior is suitable for a bedroom or a small study.
To be able to properly present the deep shades of dark colors you need to be able to. A competent designer will be able to make the color play, while the wrong application of the shade can, for example, "lower" the ceiling.
The dark color is filled with mystery and this is transmitted to the room. Many people consider such decor experiments to be risky, and dark tones are gloomy and cold. But upon closer examination, one can catch the magnetism peculiar only to them.
The effect of dark walls on the interior
Despite the fact that the dark walls in the interior look elegant, many do not risk using this technique. Fears that the room will become cramped and oppressive do not allow such people to appreciate all the possibilities of creating a unique interior.
So that a dark tint does not oppress, it is first necessary to take care of a sufficient amount of light. It’s best not to point the lights at the walls, as black absorbs light. Rays should go from the walls. Here, modern lighting devices that can be hidden under drywall constructions or drown in a niche directly on the wall will come to the rescue.
Bright elements of the decor also enliven the dark walls and make these colors look completely different. A bright picture will look great on a dark background, like other decorative elements. A color accent can also be put with furniture. Correctly placing it over the entire area of the room, you can make an excellent ensemble.
Materials for wall decoration can be:
- tile;
- paint;
- wallpaper;
- laminate;
- lining;
- natural wood and much more.
There can be a lot of shades too. At the same time, the wall itself can be given an unusual texture or combine several tones of the same dark color on it.
In the bathroom and kitchen, black tiles or waterproof wallpaper will create the necessary style, while maintaining practicality. With such tiles it is better to use black grout. This combination will give a unique result.
It is not necessary to make all the walls dark. You can color only one of them, or vice versa, highlight it with light. Then the effect produced by a large number of a certain color will not be so intrusive.
The room, painted in dark color, gives a feeling of privacy. For the bedroom, such intimacy is best suited. At the same time, do not forget to dilute the monotony of one color with interspersed other shades in the form of accessories, paintings or sculptures.
A large mirror looks very impressive on a dark wall. It can be hung in the frame or without it. The color of the frame should slightly differ from the color of the wall. This will allow you to weave a mirror into the interior as harmoniously as possible.
The combination of dark shades of floor and walls
The combination of dark floor and dark walls does not always give the expected result. Sometimes such an interior in a compartment with a white ceiling creates the feeling of a basement, where the light source is located only above your head. To avoid this, you need to consider all the features of such a combination.
If a combination with dark walls is expected, the color of the floor should be neutral. Then the walls can be painted in any dark color. The dark gray floor will somewhat narrow the range of choice, but any shades are suitable for combining with brown. This is due to the fact that brown is laid out in several shades and can balance some manifestations of the color that the walls are covered with.
For colored dark floors, you should pre-select a suitable color for a couple. For example, a dark red floor will be annoying against a background of dark green walls. This combination is not acceptable for living quarters. In a house where people spend a lot of time, the most harmonious combinations should be used. Let the dark brown walls of a different shade adjoin the chocolate floor. And the black floors will look good with dark gray walls. Sharp contrasts and unusual combinations are best avoided, since the combination of dark floors and walls is already unusual for a living room.
If the modest dimensions of the room still require visual expansion, then you can apply other techniques of designers. Using the stripes in the picture on the walls and on the floor, you can slightly push the boundaries of the room, while maintaining the dark color of the surfaces. The basic principles of the arrangement of the strips apply here: vertical - extend the surface, horizontal - expand. In addition, you can use a picture of parquet or laminate. The location and direction of the boards will also help visually add space to the room.
Dark surfaces in any room will look noble. The main thing is to successfully dilute the resulting gamut with elements of decor and decor. The result is a cozy, unusual room in which a person can plunge into his inner world and escape from the hectic everyday life.
