What colors to combine with in the interior
Despite the versatility of peach color and its easy compatibility with almost all colors of the rainbow, the choice of companion shades still depends on several criteria:
1. Interior design style.
Some styles involve the use of certain color combinations and combinations. For example, in the Scandinavian style, white elements are required for such details as ceiling and floor skirting boards, window frames, doors, etc. But an oriental or Moroccan interior will require adding peach with rich terracotta, red and ocher shades.
2. The effect to be achieved.
If the designer is faced with the task of expanding a small room or making a large space more intimate and cozy, then it is worth resorting to color tricks suitable for these purposes. Complementing the peach shade with an abundance of dark and saturated colors will visually reduce the area of the room, and diluting the light peach with lighter and airier tones will give the interior a feeling of airiness and spaciousness.
In addition to this, there are practically no restrictions in the selection of additional shades - there are examples of successful combinations of peach with the most inappropriate colors at first glance - dark blue, purple, black and gray.
Peach color in the living room interior
The relaxed and calming atmosphere created by the abundance of peach shades is ideal for creating a cozy and relaxing living room. Options for classic living rooms with peach walls and light furniture look extremely good. And the use of this color to create bright spots - sofa cushions, textiles and accessories enlivens more modern interior options and softens the severity of even such brutal styles as loft or industrial. Even peach-colored upholstered furniture is subconsciously perceived as more comfortable than similar models of other shades.
If the lighting is poor or the living room is small, it is recommended to avoid the brightest and darkest tones of peach so as not to make the space heavier. It is preferable to decorate small rooms in pastel and light colors, leaving bright peach for accessories and details. A spacious room with good light allows you not only to use bright peach as the dominant color, but also to combine it with dark, even black, shades.
Peach color in the kitchen interior
Peach is a fruity, natural color, so it looks great in the interior of the kitchen and dining area. Its bright shades can increase appetite and create a festive feeling.
Most often, peach color is used in modern kitchen sets with glossy facades, complex-shaped cabinets or unusual glass splashbacks. But as a background or companion color in the kitchen, peach is more versatile and suitable for completely different styles - from classic to industrial.
Peach walls are an excellent partner for a light kitchen unit, and bright details of this color can transform an existing interior, making it sunnier and warmer. So, complementing a neutral, light kitchen with rich peach curtains, dishes and, for example, table napkins, you can completely change the mood and atmosphere in the room.
Kitchens that use several shades of this color at once seem incredibly warm - from the most neutral to burning, almost orange or coral. Such a room becomes so sunny that even in the cold season it retains the feeling of a hot summer. You can enhance this incredible effect by adding a little pistachio or soft green color to the interior.
Style selection
Calm peach color will give strength and opportunities for relaxation. Therefore, it is actively used for rural styles, whose popularity is growing as an alternative to industrial loft. Win-win alliances:
- natural wood, board structure;
- real, living plants and flowers;
- simple materials without artificial gloss;
- leather and forged parts.
The most common shade in design, the pale peach shade is appropriate in almost any stylistic design. It works well in floral designs on textiles and wallpaper. More strict, oriental patterns in an adapted ethnic interior will not allow it to be considered feminine.
But for the subtle aesthetics that the female soul is so inclined towards, suitable styles with their own characteristics are offered, and the details set the tone:
- Vintage and retro: a pair of armchairs, lampshades, lampshades.
- Shabby chic: refined accessories, delicate painting.
- Classic: elegant snow-white stucco, solid wood.
In modern minimalism, not all shades of peach can take root and become full-fledged participants, but even a few decorative items will get rid of facelessness.
Peach color in the bedroom interior
Soft peach color options are the most suitable for creating a calm bedroom. In the recreation area, it is undesirable to use too bright and flashy shades, so as not to interfere with the process of relaxation of the human nervous system.
To create a closed, intimate sleeping space, you can complement peach textiles and dark gray walls with coffee furniture and details. This technique will make the interior heavier and more conducive to sleep.
If the room has sufficiently abundant lighting, then you can achieve a feeling of lightness and freshness by adding light shades - blue, beige or turquoise . Such combinations are traditional for Provence and Mediterranean style. Combinations of plain objects and textiles with various prints also look quite cozy.
Combination with light colors
In order to focus on style, you need to add a couple more components to a light composition. For example, other warm light shades are creme brulee, beige, cream.
They will help tie together bright white and peach. In addition, its combinations can occur without the use of white. With light beige it represents a gentle, innocent, romantic style.
Peach color in the bathroom interior
The bathroom is a place that needs warmth and light more than others. A damp, very dark place, decorated in blue and gray tones, can turn water procedures into a rather unpleasant process. Therefore, when choosing a color scheme, it is worth considering the psychological aspect of the color used.
The combination of white sanitary ware with various shades of peach allows you to avoid the effect of sterility and turn the bathroom into a warm and cozy room. And the combination of plain and patterned peach tiles , panels and borders will help to enliven the interior, zone and play up the space and hide various communication irregularities and protrusions.
Peach color originally came to us along with oriental and ethnic trends in the interior, so you can make your bathroom really hot by decorating it in Moroccan, African or Asian style. In such a bathroom, it is appropriate to use colorful mosaics, bright orange, chocolate and red accessories, wooden and wicker furniture.
Such a bathroom can become not just a utilitarian place, but a favorite room for relaxation, hot and fragrant baths and long, relaxing spa treatments.
Coloristics
Depending on the saturation and intensity of the color scheme of the space, a peach living room can become a quiet haven, a haven of bliss and relaxation, or a place of active recreation, joy and excitement, or it can cause headaches and irritability.
Peach color actively competes with neighbors, but also does not tolerate loneliness.
It is strictly not recommended to fill the entire room with monochrome red-orange color; this can cause psychological discomfort.
Color specialists recommend extinguishing the activity of peach with a combination of white, red, brown, black, green, and gray.
Peach-colored wallpaper and walls: how to use correctly
Peach walls can be either a neutral background for a bright interior or a thick, rich solitaire in a minimalist design.
The lightest and most pastel shades of peach on the wall allow you to open up and expand the room. Such background colors are typical for classic and restrained interiors, remaining a canvas for brighter furniture and textiles. Photo wallpapers or wallpapers with prints of these shades are more lively - such walls will emphasize the advantages of plain light-colored furniture and at the same time will not allow the interior to become boring and inexpressive.
Dark wooden furniture looks more advantageous against the backdrop of rich and bright peach shades. This background will be perfectly complemented by metal and forged elements, photographs and paintings in dark frames, as well as mirrors, figurines and other decorative elements.
When choosing a shade, you should not forget about the geometry of the room - ceiling height, width and length, overall dimensions.
Important! A small room will become even smaller if you choose the dullest and darkest shades of color, and a large and spacious room with high ceilings can become uncomfortable due to the abundance of too light peach color.
Visually adjusting the size of a room to a psychologically pleasing level is a rather delicate job that requires an impeccable sense of proportion.
Also, painting walls can radically change the feeling of temperature and light in a space. The north side suggests the use of the warmest, but lightest versions of peach.
Peach-colored curtains in the interior
Window textiles are an important design element that can even play a leading role, as in a classic or provincial style.
Sunlight breaking through delicate peach tulle can warm up even a cool gray interior, and neat vertical folds of pastel-colored curtains can become a restraining detail for a bright and catchy room.
The choice of drapery shape depends on the style of the interior, and the length of the curtains can be dictated by the height of the ceilings and the size of the room. Curtains that start at the ceiling and fall all the way to the floor will visually increase the height of the room if necessary.
In addition to single-color options of simple shapes, multi-layer curtains that combine different shades of peach at the same time look good - such a set is harmonious and pleasing to the eye. Also, with moderate use of patterns in the rest of the interior, peach textiles with various patterns and designs are very effective. Provence, country and shabby chic styles are simply impossible to imagine without curtains with floral patterns and combinations of peach, pink and green colors.
Finishing
Peach-colored finishes can be used in any room, adding warmth, coziness and atmosphere. Peach tones can be used not only on the floor and walls, but also on the ceiling.
Walls
You can decorate your walls peach by:
- dyeing;
- wallpaper – paper, fabric, liquid;
- Venetian plaster.
The choice depends on the style and the desired effect. The only thing worth considering is wallpaper with a pattern. If the ornament is made through the play of texture, then it will be undemanding to everything else in the interior.
But if there is a contrasting pattern on the peach wallpaper, then it should be combined not only with the overall style of the room, but also with the textile design and upholstery of upholstered furniture.
Floor
Peach-colored floors are usually used to decorate hallways and bathrooms, when laying matching tiles. There is a variant of peach floors when they are made from self-leveling polymer, but this is only suitable for modern style. In addition, new wood processing technologies make it possible to obtain peach notes on wood.
On sale, for example, you can buy oak peach parquet (Peach Oak - Peach Oak).
Ceiling
A peach-colored ceiling in the lightest shades is used in Provence or Shabby chic style. It can be all painted in one tone, or a wide variety of combinations and shapes can be created using a plasterboard structure and PVC stretch film.
