Mixing tones like is not for a colour novice though as it’s easy to get wrong! It works in Zilverblauw’s home because of the mostly white backdrop and the purposeful embracing of the jarring feel of the bright yellow stairs with their maximum impact approach. Every element of the stair section is painted out the same colour, they’re in the centre of the house and the accents they’ve used to pick it out are eye-catching in themselves.
Try this if you feel brave but if you’re new to colour, one of the easiest places to start is to keep the tones in the room similar. That way when you move from room to room, there is no jarring because a strong tone has been put up against a soft one – as can easily happens. So soft colours with soft colours, deep ones with other deep ones etc.
