Set a dominant color

In the universe ofinterior design, it is recommended to use an odd number to define the number of colors or patterns that you should mix in a single space. In other words, you must combine a minimum of three colors or patterns, using different decorative elements to complete the space. The colors may have the same tone or a completely different tone, the important thing is to obtain a pleasant and harmonious combination. Here, the objective is to create depth, through the contrast obtained between the parts, be it a wall, a chair, a piece of furniture or even the floor. The secret is to find balance. In other words, if you opt for a more pompous wallpaper, you should opt for apavementmore delicate or vice versa.

On the other hand, if you choose acolordarker dominant, you should combine it with lighter complementary tones and fun patterns. These may be present in the texture of materials or surface coatings. The bold contrasts obtained from these combinations help to distinguish your space from others.

Select a featured element

To decorate successfully, you should always start with the element with the greatest visual impact and work on the remaining elements in a gradual and complementary way. That is, if you choose to include vibrant wallpaper in your pharmacy's service room, the selection of the remaining elements should complement its presence in the space, without taking away from it its protagonism. The same happens if in a clinic waiting room you decide to introduce a woody panel with an intricate geometric pattern. In other words, the larger the area, the larger the pattern that will complement it. So think big when it comes to wall coverings, flooring or clapboards.woodand moderate your choices when it comes to details like lampshades and accessories.

Combine different geometric shapes

When it comes to decorating, the possibilities are countless. To obtain functionality and aesthetic expressiveness, geometric shapes are excellent alternatives to so-called “traditional” patterns. They can be combined in different ways to produce really interesting and visually appealing patterns. When used strategically, elements such as frames, paintings, furniture, lamps or mirrors create truly original and alternative spaces.

However, you should choose a main geometric shape and, from there, use complementary shapes, capable of adding dynamism to the interior environment. In other words, geometric shapes such as triangles, rhombuses or circles should be used sparingly, in small decorative details and never as the main geometric shape. For example, in the dental clinicOrangeDental, a project designed by the talented professionals at RIGI Design, the circular shapes of the decoration complement the straight lines of the furniture, forming a clinical environment that is truly out of the ordinary.
