1. Start with a color wheel: The color wheel is a great tool to help choose cohesive colors for your interior. A color wheel is a visual representation of all the colors in a spectrum. Choose shades based on analogous colors, complementary colors or monochromatic color schemes.
2. Determine the mood and atmosphere: Decide the feeling you want to create in a space, be it calming, energizing, sophisticated, or playful. This will help you narrow down your color choices.
3. Choose a dominant color: Choose a color that will be dominant and used the most in your interior design. This will help anchor the room and establish a base color.
4. Accent colors: Choose 2-3 accent colors that will complement the dominant color and add interest to the space.
5. Consider the undertones: Consider the undertones of the colors you have chosen. Undertones are the subtle hues within a color, which can be warm or cool. It's important to choose colors with similar undertones to ensure they work together.
6. Experiment: Test and experiment with different color combinations and see what works best for the space. Consider testing the colors on large swatches of paper or in different lighting conditions to see if the colors are cohesive.
7. Consistency: Use the same color scheme throughout the entire home to create a cohesive look and feel. This helps the design to flow seamlessly from room to room.
