Many people dream of being able to mobilize their potential in decorating their stay, but are reluctant to embark on this venture which they consider too difficult.

Given the expense of arranging the living room, we understand why the use of colors has become something of a threat: it is scary because it is thought that it can “ruin” all previous efforts.

Let’s start with some definitions: what is a warm color and a cold color? In the color wheel (also called “color wheel”), warm shades are on the left and cold – on the right. Yellow, orange and pastel shades are in the first category. Blue, gray and green belong to the second. There are also intermediate shades which are placed between these two groups and which can belong to one or the other according to the dominant notes of which they are composed (for example: certain variants of green and lilac).

How to use this information for a successful living room decoration? If you like a particular color, whether hot or cold, you can use its nuances for the decoration of your stay. The combinations of shades of the same color can give very nice results, as can be seen in the picture above which represents a living room with shades of blue. For those who would like to achieve a similar effect in their interiors, combine the color tones of your choice with neutral-colored walls or furniture, such as white, black, and light gray, to bring more of balance in the interior space.

But how to harmonize hues of the two groups, the cold and the hot? If you want to experiment to create a colorful living room, consider the possibility of playing on complementary nuances. This expression applies to pairs of shades that are opposite to each other in the color wheel, such as dark blue and orange or yellow. Together, these couples produce quite remarkable contrasts.
