Colour Theory
As part of my Interior Design Diploma studies, I was required to examine and write a report on my understanding of colour theory. I’ve uploaded this report for my followers/readers as a useful point of reference.
The Psychology of Colour
I was approached by an Interior Designer a few months ago to create two different sets of 3D visuals for the same space. You see, two different design schemes were being proposed and the Designer was curious to see how each individual design concept would look in a photo-real 3D visual.
Black & White – Embrace It Don’t Fear It
Monochrome is a term that describes varying shades of one colour. It is not correct to describe a room that has been designed using a colour palette of black and white as Monochrome. Let’s summarise…
Grey + Yellow = The Perfect Combination

Face the Fear: Purple and Green
I’ve never been naturally drawn to either purple or green hues, but it doesn’t matter whether I like those hues or not; especially when I’ve been asked to design a space to incorporate purple. And lots of it. But what I can do is encourage various ways of utilising a person’s favourite colour without going overboard, or introducing complementary or harmonising colours to a scheme thereby refining the original ideas expressed by the client.
Use of Colour – Old Skool Style
Boards, boards and more boards. An essential visual communication tool in interior design but it’s oh so difficult to keep churning out new and interesting ways to illustrate your message.
Shelton, Mindel & Associates = Perfection
Never mind the impressive and wide-ranging portfolio that Shelton, Mindel & Associates’ design firm (NYC) boasts; their window displays are pretty mind blowing too. When you strip back the pioneers of the creative and design industry you are left with individuals that embrace a certain level of escapism and the creative freedom to truly express themselves.

Historical Scheme
For this historical colour scheme I have taken inspiration from the Georgian era and used a colour palette of powder blue, soft chalky white and an earthy stone colour.
