How to choose light tones for the interior and how to combine them correctly
The only contraindication to the choice of light – it requires accuracy and special care. So, on white surfaces, chips, scratches and dents will be immediately noticeable. If you are not ready for this, then it is better to refuse a light one.
If ready, feel free to choose light. It is suitable for any rooms, from the bedroom to the nursery, for any area and for any interior style.
Base and accents
To create a harmonious light interior, you need to choose the basic color – white, beige or gray. And add accents to it.

This is the most universal color that can be combined with anything. Light or dark shades are suitable.

How to combine light colors with other materials and textures
When using light colors, there is a risk of creating a flat space – colors will seem to flow around the room. We need volume. It can be added using other materials: metal, stone or wood.
Metal
Light tones are perfectly combined with metal. The color of the metal can be anything, but it is better to stop at one. The mixing here is useless.
In this kitchen, we used gold on the ceiling lamp and legs.

Stone
In the interior, this material often takes all attention to itself. A calm neutral environment with him does not “argue” and they form a harmonious pair.
In this bathroom for the floor and walls, a large -format porcelain tile for white marble was used. In the zone, the tile of a muffled blue shade was laid in the shower tree.
