All About Minimalist Colour Palettes

colour palettes

When it comes minimalist home décor, one of the key things you need to consider is the colour. From walls, accessories, and furniture, you must ensure that you are getting the right colour. Otherwise, it will be challenging to realise the house décor of your dream. The best way to get it right is by creating a minimal colour pallet.

What is Minimal Colour Pallet?

A colour pallet is a board that contains a colour scheme for you to pick from when decorating your home. However, you have to design it with your choice colours and more so colours that speak the message you want to pass. So, you need to understand the psychology behind the colour when creating a pallet for your home.

For minimalist home decoration, creating a colour pallet should be the first step. There are several factors that you need to put into consideration to design a perfect colour scheme. First, you need to understand the colour wheel for you to achieve a harmonious colour palette. Second, you need to understand various colour schemes and how they affect your choice of minimalist colour. There are three main colour schemes- monochromatic, analogous, and complementary colour scheme.

How To Create Minimalist Colour Palette?

When it comes to creating a minimal colour palette for your space, it is important that you include colours inspired by nature. Such colours help to create a natural vibe in your space, which is good for the mind. However, try to stick to at least three colours to keep it simple. Here are three main steps to follow:

Step 1. Main Colour

The first thing that you need to do is selecting the main colour for your palette. It is the colour that will lay the foundation of your room’s colour scheme. It will be the colour that will feed the feel of the house and provide the overall mood and style of the whole space. For a minimalist house, the main colour should be nature-inspired because you’ll never go wrong with it. You can pick white or turquoise colours as the main hue, to mention a few. The main colour should be on the wall as well as the large pieces of furniture.

Step 2. Accent Colour

Accent colours come in to lay emphasis on your colour scheme. They have the role of second in command after the main colours. The main idea behind accent colour is to help balance the colour scheme and produce visual interest in the room. They are often vivid and should be used sparingly to create contrast as well as a rhythm in the room. Depending on the surrounding, you can pick neutrals or darker shades as the accent hue. In addition, your main colour can determine a specific accent colour that forms a perfect combination.

Step 3. Bold Colour

The last step to make the minimal colour palette complete is the bold colour. It’s the colour that produces what people call bringing ‘pop of colour.’ It is the colour that used to create focal points in your space as well as lead your eyes around the room. There are many choices of bold colours that you can pick from depending on the main and accent colours you’ve picked. The trick is to have all the three colours working harmoniously.

Minimal Colour Pallet Generators

If you have no time for a custom-designed minimal colour palette, you can use colour generators. These are software that can help you process a perfect palette for your interior décor. They are great for armature decorators who want to develop an interior colour scheme that suits their taste. Most of these tools are available online for free, but we recommend that you get premium versions as they offer more features.

With a quality online colour generator, you can quickly identify colour palettes that work for your minimalist home depending on your input and preference. Some of these tools allow you to upload a photo of the colours you are looking for, and they will scan and tell you what colours are in it. Therefore, there is no room for errors when using quality colour generators.

Designing a colour palette requires a lot of attention to detail. You need to understand colours and the psychology behind them. The colours in the palette must combine harmoniously. If you are an armature, then you need to consider using a generator.
