Analogous Colour Scheme - Get The Look Part 2

An analogous colour scheme is the use of two or more colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel.

My Inspiration photo is an example of an analogous colour scheme using the pink, red-violet and purple palette. This scheme is harmonious and peaceful and is very pleasing to the eye.

 Design Elements

The set up of furnishings on either side of the wall is different from each other. The slipper chair on the right is higher than the bay window seat on the left giving it an asymmetrical balance.

Harmony was created through the use of a cohesive colour palette, evoking a sense of calmness and tranquility. Harmony through repetition and shape can also be seen in the use of several round objects and patterns in the design.

The design of the room made good use of both its horizontal (window seat/dresser/study table) and vertical (the upward slope/slant of the dormer windows) lines to create a visually interesting space.  

Get The Look!

To get the look of this analogous space, first, find a pastel purple paint colour using the Resene colour match tool.

Next, for furnishings and other product selection, look for ones in similar colour palettes and/or designs/patterns,  keeping in mind the tint, shade and tone that was used in the original.

The colour palette of this purple. red-violet and pink rug is similar to the original one but you can also use a plain purple shag rug if you feel that there is already too much pattern going on.

A white bed with crisp white linens were used to neutralise the pink and purple scheme which can be a bit overwhelming without the pure white to balance it.

You can also opt to use a tufted slipper chair in white instead of matching its upholstery fabric with the pink patterned drapery.

It would be awesome if you can get an authentic Barcelona Ottoman but if it's not available in your local shops, or it's simply way beyond your budget, a good quality replica can be found at wingding.co.nz

Finally, a couple of white Le Klint wave design pendant light to complete the look.
