The colors of the zen decor
In principle, this type of decoration favors rather neutral colors. Gray is very popular in all its shades. White is a basic color. The decorations based on the principle of the duality of Yin and Yang, black and white, are popular. There are, however, touches of red or orange on the wall panels representing Buddha or on the many cushions on the sofa. Or on the cover of the armchairs or the sofa. The Zen living room also admits yellow, mainly in its pastel shades. Or bright yellow as an accent. Bright colors have the power to excite the senses and the mind and that is why they are not widely used in a Zen living room. The water green color is very suitable for the Zen atmosphere. Just like chocolate and ocher. Taupe is a color that responds very well to the neutrality requirements of Zen rooms. The blue will remind you of the distant sky and oceans and the reseda green has a strong calming effect. Linen color is essential for Zen decor. It is neutral, while at the same time being present. Its delicacy and softness will make your living room refined. Pair it with ivory for chic effects. Its two colors have a mystical presence in the satin and gold finishes.
You can also create associations of colors, for a more complex effect. For example: gray and white, gray and pastel blue, gray and black, gray and reseda. Or, you can match delicate blue and green shades. And the sea green with the white is a harmonious combination to perfection.
