ANALOGOUS
COLOUR
SCHEME

This Analogous colour scheme creates a very calm environment, and achieves a great fresh look.

The element of asymmetry in this space is accomplished through the addition of the stool/side-table in the bottom left of the image, without it the chair and art would create a diagonal balance, and would feel more symmetrical. In turn this asymmetry creates a main point of emphasis that is the armchair.

Harmony is a very important aspect of this space, primarily achieved through the repetition of the warm honey yellows seen in the floor rug, art and wooden elements. 



The Analogous Scheme is created by choosing up to five colours that are next to eachother on the colour wheel. The colours will always work well together because of their direct proximity to each other on the wheel. 

To make the colour spectrum more dynamic you can also use the tints and shades of your selected colours, in this case you have many choices between dark and lights from the yellows through greens and blue greens.




So here is the Palette that we are going forward with for sourcing the objects when recreating this scheme. This includes the more prominent tints and shades of colour seen in the inspiration image.



Below are some items that show how you can achieve this look...

The most important aspect of this armchair is the aqua/turquoise color, although the wooden legs are darker wood, by keeping any other wooden elements in a similar colour, the desired effect will still be achieved.



The obvious link with this floor rug and the one in the original image is the colour, but also finding one with a block-type geometric pattern is great and keeps the effect going.

This cushion keeps the organic style of pattern, and brings in colours that are introduced through the art in the original space.



This stool/side-table doesn't match the shape of the original, but its size and style still works, and the darker wood works better with our bucket chair legs (above).
