How to choose the color of your plaid?
As well as being functional, plaid is a decorative element in its own right. Its color can transform the atmosphere of a room, bringing a touch of cheerfulness or serenity. But how do you make sense of all the available shades? Here are a few tips to help you choose the color of your throw to suit your mood, your decor and your use.
1. According to Your Current Decoration
-
Neutral plaid: If your interior is already rich in colors and patterns, opt for neutral shades like beige, gray or white. This will bring a note of balance.
-
Colorful plaid: For a neutral-toned interior, dare to use a brightly colored plaid to liven up the space. Ruby red, electric blue or emerald green will look great.
-
Patterned plaid: If your decor is sober, why not choose a patterned plaid? Stripes, polka dots or geometric patterns can add a playful touch.
2. According to Your Current Desires
-
Cocooning ambience: For a warm, comforting feel, opt for warm colors like caramel, brown or burgundy.
-
Summer ambience: To evoke freshness, opt for soft hues like pastel blue, water green or mustard yellow.
3. Depending on the use of the plaid
-
For relaxation: If your plaid is primarily intended for relaxation, choose soothing shades like sky blue or sage green.
-
For reading or working: Bright colors, such as orange or yellow, can stimulate your mind and encourage concentration.
-
For movie nights: a plaid in dark tones, such as duck blue or gray, creates a subdued atmosphere ideal for a movie.
4. Harmonious combinations
Think of the three-color rule: one main color, one secondary color and one accent color. For example, if your room is predominantly beige (main color), with dark wood furniture (secondary color), a turquoise plaid (accent color) can brighten things up.
The choice of color for your throw should not be left to chance. It reflects your personality, influences your mood and fits into the chromatic symphony of your interior. Whether bold, discreet, invigorating or soft, every color tells a story. It's up to you to decide what yours will be!
