Get inspired with 10 ways to use color to define spaces!

Princess bed

In the middle of gray and black decor, a yellow structure highlights the bed in this integrated apartment. The Cartelle Design office project uses bold color as a way to define the sleeping space in the home of a young resident, who chose to eliminate all the walls to enhance natural light. The empty cube format still brings a touch of geometry to an industrial decoration.


Office in the room
Without an extra room to create a home office? Here, the French Marianne Evennou shows how to have an office in the room in a cool and modern way. The wall was painted in two colors that form a kind of limit for the space reserved for work at home. To guarantee the desired effect, he also painted the shelves in the same shade of blue, mimicking the functional accessory to the environment. Geometric objects and varied textures complement the decor.


Niche in the wall
An integrated, all-white room gave way to a green and pink office. The remodeling, headed by Matheus Iltchechen, used Jade green to delimit the space of computers and the reception area, creating semi-niches taking advantage of the structure of the wall - note that the paint goes from floor to ceiling. Hanging lamps and plants make the space even more welcoming.


Different floor
Another way to use color to your advantage in integrated environments is to bet on a different floor. In this integrated veranda, the floor covered with hydraulic tiles defines the area for reading or enjoying a good wine, contrasting with the wooden floor. The red of the walls extends to the velvet armchair, creating a red and unusual atmosphere.


Heart of the house
Integrated kitchens are a hit, but how can you use the space in a creative way? Using colors! Here, the pastel blue tones draw what would be the traditional division, almost creating fictional walls. All cabinets are surrounded by the sweet tint, which is repeated in the dining table chairs, making a chromatic conversation to integrate the space.


The natural color

An apartment of only 35 m² had all its corners optimized. The Tsai Design office used wood to their advantage and created a kind of 'corridor' between the entrance door and the bedroom. The material covers the floor to ceiling and fills the entire kitchen and bathroom. The cabinets optimize the space and guarantee sophistication to the home.


Daydreaming
Another way to use color is to delimit the space in the structure itself. This green and pink double bedroom gains a headboard effect with the raw wood revealed only where the bed touches.


Reading Corner
White cabinets define a 1920s apartment in Sweden. And nothing more impactful than breaking the monotony than using a strong color. The living room has a yellow resting corner with a built-in sofa. The color, in addition to being inspiring to read or work, highlights the niche structure across its surface.


Look up
A very creative idea that is gaining more and more fans is the use of colorful ceilings. The architect Maurício Arruda used the resource in his apartment in São Paulo to differentiate divisions in a fully integrated dynamic. The pink ceiling accommodates part of the living room, the blue the living and dining room, the green the kitchen and the yellow the TV room.


Firm floor
Now, if painting the ceiling seems too difficult, why not bet on the reverse and use colored floors? This kitchnet was fully integrated by the use of blue on the floor, which ensures fluidity for the house.
