What colours would you choose if you had to represent luxery and sophistication in an interior?

Answer 1

Blue, Tan, and White.

Answer 2

I agree with light beige and silver highlights, but paired with a deep purple. Back in the day (centuries ago) in England there was a distinct social heirarchy determined by status and wealth. Anyways, peasants would dress in drab colors- grey, brown, etc. For whatever reason, purple fabric was the most expensive and so purple robes were usually only worn by royalty, thus establishing the color purple as a symbol of wealth and riches. I mentioned the light beige as the secondary color because it's clean and it will help "ground" the purple, giving it the look of sophistication instead of extravagance.

Answer 3

Light Blue

Answer 4

Think about color extremes. A color palette must compliment the home's decor. If you are a modernist with lots of modern furniture (think IKEA) then you want a lot of white and gray with plenty of light. Punctuate these with whimsical, bright colors such as orange or blue. Think of an all white room with an orange accent wall.

If you are into classical styles with lots of antiques in your home, you will want to go dark. Think of the colors in a fine old hotel or apartment residence like the Dakota - you've seen it in a million ads and movies. You'll want very rich colors with interesting combinations. One of my favorite homes of this style has grayish ceilings, with deep red patterned walls and dark hardwoods.

What you want to AVOID is the color pallets found in most suburban homes. Blech. That screams "generic no taste garbage. Go to Lowes or Home Depot and take a look at the paint sample books. Find styles that match your taste and style.

And DO NOT be afraid of lots of color.

Answer 5

Dark, bold colors paired with silver or gold tones. The one I like best is Burgundy tones and Gold. Sliver works well there, too. Classic sophistication is Black and Gold. But Black can be too dark and not easily complimented. Navy tones and Gold is good, too. You can also try and lighten the dark color with a lighter shade of the color as an accent.

Answer 6

Gold, Burgundy, Red, Silver.

Answer 7

If it is a contemporary-style room, I would choose gunmetal gray or stainless steel, black, and taupe with accents of red or burgundy and white.

For a traditional room, I would go with jewel tones - emerald, ruby, sapphire - for accents or in fabrics with a neutral background of beige/ecru/brown.

Answer 8

Camouflage with the rest of the furnishings done in early Willie Nelson.

Answer 9

A muted colour like eggshell or beige.

Answer 10

luxery - a deep (not loud) plum purple

sophistication - beige, eggshell, off white, cream etc.
