It’s October, the time of year when we prepare our house for the cozy indoor months. But how do you do that? An important part of it is color. In this article, you will learn how to color your walls with matching Xpozers based on the theory of color use! Read on for tips and examples of color use in your interior.
What Xpozers can add to your interior
Xpozer Prints can have an amazing effect on the experience of your interior. Besides dressing an empty wall, you can personalize your interior with photos. If you choose one of your own photos, you will also be very proud of the life-sized Xpozer hanging in your home. But what should you pay attention to when it comes to use of color?
What effects can you achieve with colors (combinations)?
The colors in your interior contribute to the atmosphere. Each color radiates its own emotions. The fun begins when you get creative and start combining colors! Let’s start at the beginning and have a look at a color wheel.
The color wheel indicates the relationship between colors and helps you decide what colors to combine.Basically, colors come in warm and cool tones. You can easily combine warm and cool colors with each other, as long as you know what effects the colors have on each other.
What are warm colors?
Think of orange, red and yellow as warm colors. Warm colors work well to add energy and a cozy, snug feel to a space. These are suitable for dining rooms and living rooms, for example. You can also see these colors in autumn landscapes and sunsets, for example.
What are cool colors?
Cool colors, such as blue, green and purple, give peace of mind. You can therefore use these well in the bedroom, office or bathroom. Think of photos of skies, winter landscapes and water.
Color pointer
We begin with determining exactly what you want to do with your new photo on the wall. Do you want to complement the interior or shake things up? What do you want to achieve with your color choice?
I want to..
… give a room a little more spice:
Add spice to a room by choosing complementary colors, colors that are opposite each other in the color wheel. For example red and blue, yellow and purple or pink and green.
….give a room a peaceful area
Choose colors that are close together or lighter and darker shades of the same color if you want to decorate your wall without turning the room upside down or taking attention away from other elements in the room. A photo with a lot of green on a green wall can achieve this effect, or a photo with mostly brown above a brown sofa.
… fill an empty white wall:
Preferably choose a photo with colors that also recur elsewhere in the interior or consciously make a statement and choose a mainly orange photo above your blue sofa.
Tip from our Xperts:
Want to perfectly match the green grass in a photo with a slightly different shade of green in your interior? Use color adjustments in, Lightroom or Luminar to give the color the perfect shade. Lowering the saturation of a specific color slightly can also ensure that your photo can be better combined in your interior.
Variety
