The Color Story Is The Soul of Your Layout and Style

Generally, decorative styles tend to reinforce some color groups of the two main categories in which they are classified: light and warm colors or dark and cold colors. However, some designs manage to successfully combine nuances of both groups. According to color theory, practically all known shades fall within one of these two classifications, depending on which shade they derive. The first group of colors (the warm ones) encompasses shades such as red, orange, and yellow, along with all their variations, while the cold colors are born from the green, blue, purple, and the nuances that are derived from them. Thus, there's a whole range of shades from which you can choose to give face, personality, and style to a particular layout.

The Mid-Century Modern style is a good example of a trend that uses the liveliness and striking properties of certain colors to bring your designs to life. It's typical to see in a layout of this style some intense tones such as pink, orange, purple, and brown. Some iconic models such as the Noguchi table are made in different shades such as white, walnut, natural wood, or black so that people who adopt this style can choose the one that best represents their personality. Color is just one of the characteristics that make a piece of furniture an MCM model since this is a style that was born from a whole sociohistorical context in which various events and moments of history came together. It's worth remembering that when this vivid color trend began to gain popularity, the world was going through the grayest moments in human history: the Second World War.
