Look and feel
Warm colors can make your room appear warm and cozy but also make it look smaller, while cool colors make it feel larger and more spacious. It is important to identify the undertone of a color to achieve the targeted effect. Take a look at the color wheel and identify on which side the base color stands.

Neutral colors
Neutral colors are soft, muted and less saturated, they should be the basis of your interior. These colors are suitable, for example, as a wall color and for larger pieces of furniture, as they fit perfectly into the interior and combine well with accent colors. Your neutral color palette can be either warm or cold. Pay attention to the undertones!
Accent colors
These colors are essential to provide contrast and emphasize your style. Use accent colors for home accessories like vases, lamps, pillows or art. Highly saturated and bold colors add more accents to the room. However, seeing too much of a highly saturated color can be irritating or annoying.
