How to use the color blocking technique in your home

The block of color is a very popular trend, and this for good reasons. It is one of the fastest and most simple ways to add personality to your room, it must not cost much and is the type of project you can do alone on a weekend day. And the best part is that this color blocking technique works both in traditional style and in contemporary or minimalist style.

But what exactly is the block of color and how to use this technique?

In short, it is as simple as the use of two or three different colors in a room to create a bold design declaration. Painting the different parts of the wall, floor or ceiling in different combinations of colors and shapes breathes energy and creates a focal point, which will steal all eyes.

Basically you have to make only 3 decisions: what to paint, what colors to use and which shapes to create.

What does it turn?

This depends on how much you feel brave. A good starting point is to limit yourself to a single detail in the room and create a central element. Painting the door or radiator, for example, is an easy way to add interest, through a stain of color into unusual spaces and transform the common elements of the room into real works of art.

If you feel more daring, painting the ceiling and continuing the color on the first 20 cm of the wall can be an excellent way to highlight any architectural detail. Alternatively, painting the floor and a lower part of the wall in a darker shade will make the space higher and more airy. If you choose to do it, you have to paint everything in this area like a continuous band, the caps, the frames and the doors themselves.

Or you can use the color blocking technique to refurbish the furniture. Painting only a part of a piece of furniture in a strong color offers a non -conformist and playful appearance and the best part is that it is the type of simple and easy to do project, which can be ready in one day.

What colors to use?

The beauty of the blocking color is that it can be a very personalized technique. It gives you the opportunity to use the color you love and bring energy or harmony to the camera.

To obtain great visual effects, you can associate contrasting colors to animate the wall, using vivid and intense shades.

Or you can opt for more classic colors combinations, such as pink and green, associating them to tie other colors in the room and create harmony. Pastel colors combine magnificently, adding joy and a dose of style.

You can also opt for a much thinner appearance, using tones of the same color to create a relaxing atmosphere.

What forms to create?

The shapes you create are perhaps the most important aspect of the blocking of colors and depend on what you are trying to achieve. If your rooms are missing from the distinctive elements, the color can help you create them and can be bold and strong. You can use a colorful rectangle to climb the wall to create a focal point, just like a fireplace. You can also use a horizontal rectangle around a shelf to highlight a certain area and transform it into a stronger element.

If you have a very safe hand, you can opt for curves and rims, reflecting the current trend for everything that is circular. In a bedroom it is possible to create the illusion of a bed table with a splash of color in a semicircular arch.
