Red, Yellow & Blue




When Triadic colours combine a sense of balance is created

  








This interior space consists of the most obvious palette associated with a Triadic colour scheme  - The Primary colours of yellow, red and blue.


The space provides a variety of different visual elements which help convey a true triadic colour scheme.
The red palette has been achieved through the ceiling colour and lamp shade, the blue portion through the wall colour, sofa and ottoman and yellow aspect being the armchair and second ottoman which create strong anchor points for the space.
Soft furnishings have been used as soft touches to complete the look.


Another design element used is the heavy presence of asymmetry which has created a really cohesive triadic look.




" A Triadic Colour Scheme uses three colours evenly spaced around the colour wheel"







Now Get The Look

After consulting with our colour wheel we have determined that red, yellow and blue will be the colours we focus on when recreating the look.

My Tip: Make sure you try sticking to these three colours shades so you never go wrong, but don't be afraid to lighter or darker!









It's PAINT time



Needing ceiling and wall paint I chose both Resene paints.
Resene Astronaut Blue for the walls & Resene Daredevil for the ceiling.

My Tip: Go a little darker with your paint selections so you can go brighter with your furnishing options to create the perfect balance.

Let's talk about the SOFA

This sofa from the design depot is perfect for the space, colouring is more punchier which is really chic.

My Tip: Don't be afraid to go for a striking bold coloured sofa, its going to contrast so well with the punchy red and more mellow yellow.

 That YELLOW ARMCHAIR
This armchair from Freedom furniture will be fab in the space, to channel the texture that was created in the fabric from the original picture add some patterned cushions
Below are a couple of chic options from Felt  & Luxury linens to complete the look

So I've ticked all the boxes for the main anchor points in the space, now its your turn. Have a go with the Ottomans in the middle of the space and let your creative juices flow.
