Color Scheme- Fully Coordinated

A fully coordinated color scheme means all interior furnishings and decor items are of the same color.

An all-white color scheme is on trend right now and requires careful editing. But it looks elegant when done right. The Minimal and Scandinavian styles of decor apply this scheme with confidence.

When done with neutral shades like all-white, all-cream, all-beige, all gray, it can look good without looking dull. Here are three things to take care of when doing an all coordinated color scheme.

TEXTURAL INTEREST- A couch with a cotton twill slipcover, with a thick woven blanket, a faux fur throw pillow.. even when they are all in the same color, say white, will look interesting because of the difference in texture and how they feel like to the hand.

HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS – When the eye is not distracted by different colors, it has more time to rest on the furnishings. Higher quality of each item becomes more important. It also adds a touch of elegance.

NATURAL MATERIALS – Cararra marble has become all the rage since it fits in well with an all-white color scheme and adds just enough interest without breaking the color-scheme. Warm-toned wood floors, a lush green plant, and metallic accents and a candle add an interest to an all coordinated scheme and stop it from looking pasty or chalky. These are also a good way to balance out the five elements according to Feng Shui ( wood, earth, fire, water and metal). THIs look also has the makings of what can be referred to as a MODERN ORGANIC style. More on that in another post.
