design through the rainbow
Monochromatic designs can be hard to achieve, but when they are done right the outcome is amazing! At Emily June Designs, we love to mix colors, patterns and textures in our designs. However, when achieving a monochromatic color scheme, you only need to focus on one color family! Monochromatic designs really puts focus on balancing different shades of one color, while playing with patterns and textures that add depth to the space. Keep reading to see some of our favorite designs done with a monochromatic scheme!
cozy crimsons
Crimson is such a rich color, so when used abundantly in this room it creates such a cozy space! This earthy red tone makes for a sophisticated space with a feeling of stateliness and makes such a bold statement. The velvet textures of the textiles add depth to the space and make it appear even more luxurious!

glamorous golds
Gold is such a gorgeous color but we usually see it used as an accent color. Not in this room! This color is linked to feelings of extravagance and quality, and this design completely embodies that. The flowing drapes and the rich velvet upholstery of the sofa is the perfect contrast of texture even though they are the same color!

youthful yellows
A bedroom is a place for relaxing and rejuvenation, and this yellow color is perfect to have you feeling refreshed! Soft yellows feel gentle and soft, and that is exactly how you want to feel when you are cozied up in bed. The brighter yellows of the headboard and nightstand pop perfectly against the pale yellow wallpaper!

tasteful turquoises
We didn’t know we needed a turquoise dining room until now! Evoking feelings of calmness and reflection, turquoise is the perfect color choice for a dining room meant to gather with friends and family. The fireplace is still a focal point in the room while still remaining the same color as the walls and furniture!

picturesque periwinkles
This space is periwinkle floor-to-ceiling which makes it so unique and fun! Since periwinkle is a muted color between the blue and purple families, it has a calming effect while also making a space feel lighthearted. Even though they are the same color, the smooth wall surfaces contrast against the rough texture of the ceiling!

vibrant violets
We are obsessed with all of the beautiful purples in this design, even down to the trim! Purple colors represent royalty and spirituality, and that is definitely apparent in this design. We love how this color is continued into the other spaces of this design as well!
