Selecting Colours and Patterns: Your Guide to Achieving Integrated Interior Design

29 Oct Selecting Colours and Patterns: Your Guide to Achieving Integrated Interior Design

ALoda Contracting Company presents your comprehensive guide to selecting colours and patterns. We guarantee an integrated interior design that combines colour psychology with engineering planning to achieve a balance between aesthetics and function.
Interior design has always been an art that touches the soul and affects the quality of daily life. At ALoda Contracting Company, we believe that walls and furniture are not just material elements; they are a canvas for taste and creativity. To transform any space into an artistic and functional masterpiece, the processes of selecting colours and patterns must be mastered. These two elements are the foundational pillars that define the visual identity and general mood of the place. Our success in providing integrated interior design lies in merging these artistic aspects with our solid engineering expertise.

The process of selecting colours and patterns goes beyond merely painting walls; it is a visual engineering process that requires a deep understanding of colour psychology, architectural art history, and the client’s functional requirements. This article is your guide to achieving integrated interior design in collaboration with the ALoda Contracting Company team, where we review our detailed strategy to ensure long-lasting harmony and beauty.

Firstly: The Theoretical Foundation – The Power of Selecting Colours and Patterns

1. Colour Psychology: The Key to General Mood

Colour is the first thing the human mind notices, and it has a direct effect on the psychological state. At ALoda Contracting Company, we use colours strategically to achieve the desired mood goals:

• Warm Colors (Red, Orange, Yellow) Used in rooms that need energy and vitality, such as dining and living rooms, to enhance social interaction and warmth.
• Cool Colors (Blue, Green, Purple): Ideal for spaces dedicated to rest and relaxation, such as bedrooms and offices, as they promote calmness and concentration.
• Neutral Colors (White, Grey, Beige): These are the foundation upon which we build any integrated interior design. These colours are used to create a sense of spaciousness and cleanliness, and allow other patterns and bold colour accents to stand out.

2. The Colour Wheel and Proportions: The 60-30-10 Rule

To achieve balance in selecting colours and patterns, we rely on the colour distribution rule that guarantees visual harmony:

• 60% Dominant Color: The colour covering large areas (walls, floors, large furniture), usually neutral.
• 30% Secondary Color: Used in medium-sized furniture, curtains, and rugs, to add depth and visual interest.
• 10% Accent Color: A bold colour used to add a distinctive character to small elements like (cushions, artwork, accessories). This balance ensures the interior design is integrated and comfortable for the eye.

Secondly: Practical Planning for Pattern Selection

The Pattern (Style/Pattern) is the soul that gives the design its personality. ALoda Contracting Company provides your guide to achieving integrated interior design through understanding and coordinating different patterns:

1. Defining the Basic Architectural Style

Everything starts from the building’s engineering itself. Selecting colours and patterns must be harmonious with the structural style:

• Contemporary Style: Characterised by clean lines, smooth surfaces, and neutral colours. It relies on simple geometric patterns and a focus on natural materials like wood and glass.
• Classic/Neoclassic Style: Requires a rich or royal colour palette (gold, dark blue, creamy), with the use of elaborate patterns and ornamentation in gypsum and furniture, ensuring a sophisticated and integrated interior design.
• Scandinavian Style: Focuses on functionality, natural light, and the use of white and light colours, with natural patterns in fabrics and wood.

2. Pattern Mixing Strategy

To achieve depth without creating visual clutter, we follow a smart methodology in pattern mixing:

• Scale Variation: We do not use two large patterns together. We select one large dominant pattern (like a large rug), then a medium pattern (like striped curtains), and a very small pattern (like cushions with a subtle print).
• Texture Variety: In selecting colours and patterns, we give extreme importance to texture. Combining glossy surfaces (glass and metals) with matte textures (velvet or wool fabrics) adds depth and prevents the design from looking flat.
• Color Link: We ensure that different patterns share at least one common colour (the 10% accent color), to tie the elements together and keep the interior design integrated.

Thirdly: ALoda Contracting Company’s Expertise in Integrated Application

What distinguishes ALoda Contracting Company is our ability to transform the selecting colours and patterns plan into a masterful engineering reality, truly making us your guide to achieving integrated interior design:

1. Integrating Colours with Lighting and Finishes

Colour changes as light changes. Our engineering team ensures absolute harmony between them:

• Colour Testing in Different Lighting: Before final execution, we test the selected colours under natural light in the morning and under artificial yellow light in the evening, ensuring the colour maintains its desired appearance.
• Coordinating Patterns with Contracting Utilities: For example, we integrate gypsum patterns in the ceiling to complement the shape of concealed lighting units, and we ensure that the location of control panels and electrical outlets does not conflict with the chosen wall patterns (wallpaper or wood panels).

2. Quality of Materials and Execution

Integrated interior design relies on quality. Our expertise as ALoda Contracting Company in contracting ensures:

• Selecting High-Quality Finishing Materials: We choose fade-resistant and easy-to-clean paints, and source woods and stones that genuinely reflect the selected patterns with durability.
• Commitment to Visual Depth: We guarantee the precise execution of carpentry and flooring work to reflect patterns (such as installing parquet flooring in a “chevron” or “fishbone” pattern), ensuring all cuts are sharp and perfect.

3. Open Plan Connectivity

In modern open-plan designs, selecting colours and patterns becomes a major challenge. We use a “concealed linking” strategy to maintain integrated interior design:

• Transitional Color: We choose one neutral colour (like the floor or ceiling colour) to act as a visual bridge between the living, dining, and kitchen areas.
• Repeating Patterns: We repeat a certain pattern (vertical lines, for example) in each space but in different forms (once in wood decor, once in rugs) to unify the space without it becoming boring.
