When thinking about colour schemes we often take our cues from nature. An analogous scheme is made up of colours that are located beside each other on the colour wheel. These colour palettes appear in nature quite often – think of a field of sunflowers amidst green blades of grass with a backdrop of a vibrant blue sky. Or the yellow, orange and red hues that can be found in a single flame. Analogous colour sequences work quite well together and can transform children’s rooms, nurseries and play spaces into harmonious havens. One of my favourite analogous schemes is the yellow-green-blue sequence. If the right hues are chosen in this combo it can be quite stunning. Check out my picks for an analogous themed kid’s space.
