If you are interested in implementing the Ombre effect on the wall of your room, we will mention a set of simple and creative ideas that you can implement to give your space elegance, beauty, and an uncharacteristic look.
Soft ٌRed:
This mixture of the two colors leads to a unique aesthetic, especially if you like dark colors. It starts from the bottom with dark red and then gradually transitions to a pink color.
You can use it on the wall as a background for your coffee corner or TV.
Calm Blue:
Blue is a calm color that gives a comfortable feel and can be applied with an Ombre effect using its shades from light to dark, and if you want the room to be on the lighter side, start with the dark shade from the bottom of the wall to end with the light at the top. It is a color that is popularly used for bathrooms.
With the same blue color, you can create an ocean-like effect by merging it in emerald green, transitioning gradually from blue to green from top to bottom. You can also add some furniture pieces in the same colors to form a unique combination.
Soft Ombre:
If you are not a fan of obvious color combinations, you can implement the Ombre effect softly choosing one color and merging its different shades, starting from light to dark for example or vice versa. This can be done very subtly with a very slight difference between the shades used.
Ombre on White:
If you have a pre-painted white room, you can add the Ombre effect in a simple and easy way, adding one color of your choice starting with a light shade from the middle of the wall and then gradually moving towards either the top or bottom of the wall to end with a darker shade.
Here, we will use the color pink as an example, but why pink?
Because it gives a sense of calmness and spaciousness, which is perfect for small spaces.
Vertical Ombre:
All examples and creative methods mentioned in previously are for the horizontal form of Ombre, but what if we change it and make it vertical? Will it affect your space differently? Or give it an even more unique look?
Vertical shapes are known to give the place more height, and here comes the advantage of using this shape. Just as the horizontal shape has its own beauty and advantages, the vertical shape has its own impact and advantages too.
Is applying Ombre on the wall alone enough, or should this effect be added to other parts of the furniture as well?
In decor, what should be done ultimately depends on your own personal taste, but you can add this effect to some parts of the furniture to give more harmony to the place.
