color schemes

Monochromatic 
Are derived from a single base hue and extended using its shades, tones and tints. Tints are achieved by adding white and shades and tones are achieved by adding a darker color, gray or black.
This room gives a very uniformed comfortable feel.




Analogous 
The analogous color scheme uses colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. One color is used as a dominant color while others are used to enrich the scheme. This color scheme gives a very lively feel. 
     


Split-complementary 
The split-complementary color scheme is a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement. This color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but has less tension. This room gives a romantic yet colorful feel. 


Triadic 
uses three colors equally spaced around the color wheel. This scheme is popular among artists because it offers strong visual contrast while retaining balance, and color richness.

texture

This week in Interior Design we learned about texture. There are three different categories of texture
one of the three is visual another is tactile and the last is audible. Visual texture is the appearance of a surface like the couch in my olioboard looks like it  has a soft texture or the yellow pillow look glossy and the side table looks shiny . Tactile is the feel of a surface like the chandelier in my olioboard has  a metal texture that is very smooth the blue table has a rough wood feel to it and lastly the magazine rack has a smooth metal feel to it . The last category of texture is audible that is the sound something makes when rubbed  if you went and rubbed the couch it would have a rough sound. If you rubbed the side table it would have a  squeaky sound and if you rubber the blue side table it would have a soft smooth to it. I think this room gives a very modern but comfortable feel because of all the different textures i have added
