Color blocking has left the world of fashion and become an interior design trend. You may have heard of this trend but you may not know exactly what it means.Color blocking is when you combine two or more colors together without pattern. In the mid-sixties the brilliant French fashion designer, Yves St. Laurent, took Mondrian’s Cubist designs and interpreted them on a wool jersey dress. The bright white, yellow, red, and blue colors were separated by bands and blocks of black and we loved them. Color blocking was born! Since this trend has periodically come back into fashion since the 60's, it's only natural that interior design follows. Decide whether you want to use color blocking subtly, only in accessories and accents, or you want to go big and paint your walls in bold color blocks Try unconventional color mixes, match the unmatchable. The more surprising the color combo, the better. (Talk to a designer if you’re not sure about your color choices.) Stick with two or three colors to maximize the impact of each one. This trend is one to have fun with so enjoy. The Color Wheel Study the color wheel and pick the colors that go well together. The colors you choose for painting your walls using color blocking technique should be bold, bright and pleasant to the eye. The combination should also be easy on the eye but attract attention. everythingleb.blogs... houseofdesign.net.au - In this image it is the chairs that provide the color blocked effect. pinterest.com While this may be too much for most of you, it's a great example of color blocking. google.com An interesting form of color blocking is taking place on the table in this picture.
