MONOCHROMATIC
COLOUR
SCHEME
This is a Monochromatic colour scheme using Blues. The blue is more of a complex blue because there is a hint of green to the hue. As you can see it creates a very cool and calm space...

You will notice that I've managed to sneak an armchair into this weeks scheme also. 

There is a radial balance in the image above, centred around the dining table and chandelier, and continued in the placement of the cushions and armchair. A rhythm of colour is also achieved in this space. (This comes with any monochromatic scheme.)

In this space there are elements of tactile texture that really give the space a dynamic edge. The most prominent is the mirror chandelier. There is also a pile rug in the background that adds a textural element. These touches aren't exactly subtle, they add contrast lacked by the flat colours.   



A Monochromatic Scheme is achieved by selecting one colour for your scheme. By using different tints and shades of the hue, the space will become sophisticated and dynamic. 



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.




An interpretation.
When trying to replicate the mood and scheme that this image presents, the most important elements are colours, scale, and shape. To make sure you stay on the right track, refer to the original image and colour palette through the selection process.



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

Yes this weeks scheme does bring another armchair. This interpretation of the original still maintains the very contemporary look, in the right colour with curved shapes. Because this is a main statement piece, try and keep the size and colour as close to the original as you can.

These Wishbone dining chairs are a direct match to those in the scheme image, a great find. But any chairs with delicate frames and in your colour palette will fit the mood.

This table is a great fit for the scheme. It has the white circle top and brushed aluminium legs that fit aesthetically with the other objects with curvature, and the chosen pendant light. 



When choosing the pendant for this space I was weary that the one pictured in the original image may be to 'blingy' for some, this still makes the bold statement in a more subtle way. If you really want the chandelier from the scheme image you can find it here.

Like always make sure your accessories for this scheme work with the colour palette. Because the main pieces in this scheme are solid colours, when selecting the accessories it's a great idea to bring in a variety of textures and materials.
