Classic Color Combinations for Your Home

Classic Color Combinations for Your Home 

Home design trends come and go, but there are some classic color combinations that stand the test of time. Take a stroll through your local fabric store or find a fabric supplier online to get inspiration and also to purchase fabrics and hardware that will get you the exact look you want for you home. To get you started, here are 6 color combinations that won’t let you down.

Black and White 

The black and white color combination is timeless. Not only does it offer a clean and sophisticated look, it also serves as a great backdrop for pops of other colors. For instance, a living room with white couches, black furniture, and black and white drapes or curtains can have even more impact when accented with throw pillows or accents in colors of hot pink, teal, bright green or red.

Green and Blue 

Both of these colors are cool, refreshing and welcoming. These colors are also a great way to bring the charm of the outdoors, inside the walls of your home. For a more modern feel, you can intensify the palette by using deeper shades like navy and kelly green. Try using one of them as accents on throw pillows and rugs, or let them pack a bigger punch as a large item like a couch, while using the other color as a nearby accent color on a rug or drapes.

Earth Tones 

Earth tone colors are derived from the natural things around us like soil, leaves, the sun, stones and the sky. This type of color palette can create a very warm atmosphere. A neutral room, grounded in shades of grey or brown, looks great with rug, drape, accessory, and pillow accents in bolder earth tones like reds, oranges, greens and blues.

White and Blue 

The tint or tone may change, but the concept of white and blue, never go out of style. White and blue, often thought of as invoking a nautical feeling, isn’t really the only look these colors work for. White and blue color combinations work for traditional rooms, contemporary rooms and everything in between. Play around with weight of each color, and even try using more than 1 shade of blue or adding in a cream for some lasting power.

Yellow and Green 

These two colors take us back to nature. If they work together outdoors, it only makes sense that they would work together indoors as well. No matter how you want to use these colors vibrant, subdued, or scattered lightly throughout these colors look amazing together.

Blue and Orange

This color combination is cool, casual and fun. Orange and blue isn’t necessarily a traditional color combo, but it’s becoming a popular one that appears to be sticking around for quite a while. Jazz up any room with punches of these two colors through furniture fabrics and accents like vases, lamps or pillows.

Holiday Decorating Combinations

During the holidays, try decorating with different color combinations to give your home a brighter or updated feel. When decorating for Halloween, try using teal and pink, while mixing in some black. You can also keep things a little bit more traditional, while still spicing them up by using purple and green. For a more elegant Christmas look, try sticking with white and cream with sprinkles of red for pops of color.
