Deciding on a color scheme can be daunting and difficult when you feel like you don’t have the knowledge and experience behind you. But choosing your scheme and seeing how you could incorporate colored glass mosaic tiles is a truly exciting process and one to be enjoyed, not feared.
First of all, you need to decide on your overall color scheme and the look you want to achieve. There are many schemes that are often used by professional designers, and these range from contrasting schemes to monochrome schemes and others where you use consecutive colors on the color wheel to achieve the effect you want.
The last schematic, known as analogous schematics, is the one I’m going to look at here. Such schemes use consecutive colors on the color wheel.
By mixing colors that are adjacent to each other, you create a really colorful yet harmonious look that will have real impact. If that’s the kind of look you’re after, then this is probably the scheme for you.
It’s an exciting plan to plan and execute. But there are some basic rules to keep in mind that you should keep in mind. These are not to discourage you from this type of scheme, but simply to make you aware of some common mistakes.
Using more than five colors will look a bit confusing and could cause visual clutter in a space. Headache inducing might be a more appropriate term!
A really safe bet is to pick three or four colors that you like together and decide which one will be your main color and which one will complement and support the main color. This is a really good place to start as it helps you focus on the scheme and how all the colors will work together and support each other. You can start to imagine how the colors will work at this stage.
For example, yellow or green may be the ones you choose to build your scheme. If so, you would build a scheme involving yellow orange, yellow, yellow green, and green in your space. And this is how such a scheme works: you run a color through the color wheel and the combination of these colors from one to another. The final effect will be harmonious but will give a really lively and energetic feel to your room.
As part of your design, you can use colored glass mosaic tiles to add texture and design features to your walls, using mosaic tiles in the colors of your choice.
