Interior design colour schemes | decorating colours
It can be extremely difficult for some people to select colours from the huge range of selections available in paint colour charts. There are just too many choices.
To some people, the fear of getting it wrong and knowing that the end result could be a costly mistake is too stressful.
Making a bad decision on a colour scheme can result in being a costly mistake.
This is stressful and a reason why many refurbishment ideas don't get off the ground.

Interior design colour scheme categories
A colour scheme usually falls into one of these broad categories:
- harmonious colour scheme - colours that are similar
It is easy to create a balanced, unified colour scheme pleasing to the eye using harmonious colours.
Some ideas:
1. For a balanced look, choose colours of similar densities so that one colour doesn't overpower another.
2. Make a bold colour scheme by choosing a deep intense shade.
3. Pick up to four colours that originate from the same primary colour.
Natural earth-inspired colours can be used to create harmony and a comfortable environment. - contrasting or complementary colour scheme - colours that stand apart but still complement each other
Choose colours that naturally go with one another. Feature one colour more than the other. - tonal or monochromatic colour scheme - a single colour but in varying tones.
A good overall effect can be created by mixing a couple shades of wall colour with the colours found in the furniture and accessories in a room.
Some ideas:
Choose a colour and use up to three tints and shades throughout the room space.
Paint the lightest colour on the ceiling and the deepest colour towards the floor to give the illusion of space.
Monochromatic white colour schemes are popular and are forever in vogue.
A white colour scheme gives more freedom to experiment with textures and one can then use accessories to draw these colours out.
Choosing an interior design colour scheme
When choosing an interior design colour scheme, the trick is to find something that will not go out of style too quickly.
Use accessories with colour and texture to create a colour scheme that is appealing and adds a personalised feel to your interior.
