What is fuchsia color and how is it used in the interior

One of the shades of hot pink is called fuchsia. Intense pink with a slight purple hue. His verbal description looks something like this, but the color is best seen in the photo.

It looks like the color "fuchsia"

This color is very bright, intense, cheerful. Even its light shades "warm" the interior. Therefore, most often the color fuchsia in the interior is found as a companion color or one of the additional ones, but very rarely it is used as the main one. It is too bright and "active". Psychologists describe it as the color of active communication, the color of activity, and recommend using it in limited quantities. It can be used to decorate a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, nursery, hallway. But no matter how many photos you look, you will not see the fuchsia color in the interior of your office. It is incompatible with a serious and business environment. And this must be taken into account when developing your own design.

Design techniques

There are certain design tricks that take full advantage of this vibrant color. As a companion color, you can apply the following techniques:

In an interior with neutral walls, make one of the walls accent - paint it in fuchsia color. The same color is present in small quantities in small interior details. To make everything look harmonious, it is better to make the floor dark. There are also requirements for furniture: it is better if it is of simple forms, without pretentiousness.

The interior is just a frame that emphasizes the merits of fuchsia

For neutral interiors, make furniture with fuchsia facades and / or upholstery. This technique is popular when decorating a kitchen. With an overall neutral décor, bright furniture looks very good. This approach is also good when decorating a living room or bedroom. Very interesting interiors turn out. On the one hand, they are not boring and bright, on the other, they are not too overloaded with color.

The bright facade of kitchen furniture is a great way to make the kitchen interior lively and warm.

Combined with a little green and brown fuchsia looks even better

All the same combinations - for a feeling of stability and comfort
Refresh the design in soothing colors with fuchsia textiles. A very good approach if you are not sure that you will be comfortable with such a combination of colors. Buy and hang curtains in fuchsia, the same bedspread on the bed, sew pillowcases on the sofa cushions ... All this is easy and not very expensive to do. It is also easy to then replace with textiles of a different color. If, suddenly, it turns out that you are tired of him. And by the way, don't try to find curtains with wide vertical fuchsia stripes. They are certainly stylish, but they get bored and annoying very quickly.

To test fuchsia color in the interior, add a few details of this color: curtains, bedspreads, cushions, decorative elements

Dilute the fuchsia in the same amount in bright yellow. Oddly enough, but two bright shades neutralize each other. Although, the interior turns out to be very "for an amateur".

There are very few yellow and fuchsias, but they are eye-catching

There are even more options for those cases when fuchsia in the interior is used as an additional one. It can be combined with other bright colors, but there are also interiors where the rest are complementary colors of a neutral scale. It all depends on the style in which the interior is being developed and the desires of the owners. In general, this color is considered "girlish" and feminine. Few men will agree to live in such an interior. If you are developing the design of a common room - a living room, a married bedroom - it is better to first test whether the strong half of your family can get along with a similar color. The textile trick is very good for this. If there is no objection. And everyone will be comfortable, you can paint the walls or look for wallpaper.

What bright colors does it match

Fuchsia is one of the colors that occurs in nature, therefore it is the "natural" colors and shades that are combined with it. One of the best combinations is with green. But both colors are bright, so there may be very few of them in the interior. The main thing in such a business is not to overdo it. Even a plant can be “green”, and not just some accessories or interior details.

If you look at the fuchsia flower, which gave the name to the color, the most popular combination is just that unique shade of pink with lilac or lilac. This color combination is also used in interior design. And, as usual with bright colors, everything should be strictly metered. Otherwise, it will be impossible to relax.

If we continue to talk about compatibility with bright colors, then we cannot ignore the combination of fuchsia and bright blue. Very impressive, lively and .. quite aggressive. So this combination is also used in small quantities.

If we talk about other bright colors, then sometimes orange, mustard is added. They are added only as accents - in very small quantities. Only a few rooms - like girly rooms for the active and the bright - can withstand such combinations.

Let me give you one more piece of advice. If in addition to fuchsia in the interior you use at least one bright one, it is better to make the walls monochromatic. They can paint with water emulsion, apply a single color decorative plaster... Another option is paste over with fiberglass and then paint. This is if smooth surfaces do not appeal to you, and the plaster seems too "official". These are the techniques you see in the photo. No variegation. As a last resort, you can use wallpaper with a mild pattern, such as monochromatic silk-screen printing.

Quieter combinations

For fans of quieter combinations, there are also some very interesting options. Fuchsia looks great with gray and silver. The combination turns out to be "noble", fits into many styles. This design is suitable for almost any room: bathroom, living room, bedroom, kitchen, hallway. Everywhere, such a combination of colors creates an atmosphere of stability and comfort. Not too colorful, but not boring either.

If gray and silver in combination with fuchsia seems to you, nevertheless, a little "bland", add a few details of black. It will add contrast, but not make the interior colorful. By the way, black can be “anthracite” and “wet asphalt”. All of these have an impact on perception and mood as well as the type of surface. Matte, glossy, with a silky sheen - objects with different surface types, but the same color look different. Don't forget this.

Another option for calm color combinations for fuchsia is with brown. But light shades are rarely combined; more often you can see a chocolate or very dark shade in a company with fuchsia. In this case, one of the warm shades of white (milk, baked milk, ivory, etc.) or some light beige is chosen as the background (main) color. The general feeling of such an interior is warmth, stability, regularity.

Matching charts for fuchsia

Harmonious interiors are obtained by combining colors correctly. They are selected according to the color wheel according to certain rules, but to make life easier, there are ready-made tables in which these colors have already been selected. This is much easier than guessing or making combinations according to the rules. You just need to understand how to use these tables. In the photo below, we show some ready-made color combinations for fuchsia in interiors. On the left in the photo is a table, on the right is one of the options for its embodiment in the interior.

In the presented tables, five colors are selected. The first is basic. There is a lot of it, it is the main one. The next two are optional. There are also a lot of them, but much less than the "base". And the last two are accents. In such colors, color spots are made. There may be very few of them.

As you can see, in most cases, fuchsia is used in the interior as an "accent". And this is justified: it is too bright. When there is a lot of it, it gets tired. If you liked a certain color combination, but are not satisfied with, say, the base color, you can either use a lighter shade of the same color, or choose another one, which is in this table, as a "base". If none of them suits you as the main one, you can take white or light gray. Also, within the same table, you can swap additional and accent colors, you can use lighter or darker shades.
