Nowadays, creating the design of their apartment, people are extremely scrupulous in their approach to the choice of colors. It is important that the shades of wood, textiles and other surfaces are in a state of mutual harmony, as otherwise the interior will not be holistic and complete. Today we will talk about one of the most successful shades in which wooden furniture can be represented - "plum wallis". Is it really so popular in our time only because it is considered bohemian and at the same time universal?
Instead of joining
As Coco Chanel said, fashion is not only dresses and suits. It also includes streets, houses, cars, people who surround you, and even the weather. Of course, she meant that the concept of fashion includes literally everything that is next to us, including furniture. Since in our time, people pay special attention to interior design, an uncountable number of shades have been developed into which wood and wood-shaving materials are tinted. Among them, the color "plum wallis" is far from the last. Immediately, we note that its name has little in common with the shade of wood of the corresponding tree, rather there is some similarity with the fruits. This name is nothing more than a marketing move: beautiful and alluring, attracting the attention of consumers. So what then is this treasured color?
Shade description
Have you ever heard of “brown-platinum” hair color, or, as it is commonly called, “frosty brown”? Treasured for modern women, color, which refers to a cold palette, but at the same time has softness and warmth. This is exactly what the shade “plum wallis” looks like, which is used to create wooden furniture. It retains the main woody pigment - brown, but it is complemented by gray and pearl notes that make it more neutral and "cool." It is important to note that earlier the tree in the interior was presented only in warm shades - red, brown, light brown, reddish and others. All the cold tones that have appeared in our time, including this one, are the fruit of the work of designers and chemists. But the result exceeds all expectations. "Plum Wallis" looks very natural and elegant, and when you look at the shade of such furniture, it seems that we have before us - a special breed of extremely rare wood, opened only with transparent varnish.
Versatility is the key to success
If any product or object is universal, it automatically becomes very popular. This story is just about our plum shade, which is used to create wooden and pseudo-wooden furniture. At first glance it seems that such a cold color, and even with a violet admixture, can in no way be universal. Many say that such furniture will fit only into special types of interiors - from the category of high-tech and the like. In fact, plum wallis color furniture will organically complement both the classic interior and the modern one. It will be relevant in tropical and Scandinavian housing, in an ordinary apartment and in a luxury mansion. The most important thing is that the shade looks organically with any design of the furniture itself. This is a neutral medium that will help create balance and comfort in your home.
Natural wood
We have already noted above that the name of this shade of furniture has nothing to do with the color of a particular wood species - it is fictitious. Most often, this name can be found in the category of wood-based materials, but natural wood, alas, does not fall under this quotation. But the color scheme turned out to be extremely successful, and people who prefer to furnish their home with first-class furniture became interested in it. Well, they soon found a way out of the situation: they created a varnish-paint, which allowed tinting a tree of certain species in the corresponding color. As a result, we got the so-called "dark plum wallis". The hue is very noble, expensive and luxurious. Gray and violet tides are clearly traced in it, but the brown base remains unshakable.
Artificial materials
Nevertheless, we learned about the color of this unique "plum" precisely thanks to wood-shaving materials, which over the past few decades have become literally the basis of modern life. Almost all the furniture that average people can afford is made of them, and despite the fact that its quality is not as high as that of a solid array, such products are in great demand. In the “plum wallis” shade, chipboard (laminated chipboard) can be found both in a simple laminate for the floor and in cabinet furniture sets, as well as in single copies. Different manufacturers vary in depth of tone - there are darker plum shades, along with them they are presented lighter. This allows you to choose the most ideal and at the same time neutral option that competently complements the design of the room.
Flooring
Most often, the shade “plum wallis” is found in the laminate with which we design our floor. The color looks very noble, allows you to make the interior more rigorous and sophisticated. It is noteworthy: if the floor is trimmed with a plum shade laminate, you can safely choose furniture in any palette. If it is sustained in warm colors, the floor will become an excellent neutral background. In the case when the furniture is made in even colder shades, the floor will become the main accent, and its palette will attract and bewitch. We must not lose sight of the fact that if the plum shade is used to design the flooring, light furniture will look great on its background.
Headsets
If you are just head over heels in love with the “plum wallis” shade, photos of headsets and furniture sets in this palette will obviously give you pleasure. Such interior elements can be made both from a solid array and from artificial raw materials. In the first case, your apartment will be furnished with unique furniture, which has a striking shade. It can be extremely simple - without elaborate details and additions. All uniqueness lies in the color. If you choose chipboard, then designers also recommend keeping the forms simple. The neutral shade best realizes itself in simple and unpretentious forms. And you can add a highlight to the apartment with the help of accessories. And one more important detail: "plum wallis" loves a light background. Therefore, if you choose furniture in this shade, then your walls and floor should be white, gray or beige.
Separate interior elements
Many creative people like to turn their home into something unique. Such an interior is figuratively called eclecticism, but in fact it is a collective phenomenon. In one room there are elements of various styles that at first glance cannot be in harmony with each other. But miraculously, they all get along on the same territory and create an aura of creative disorder, a flight of fantasy. A simple, but original chest of drawers fits perfectly into such an interior. "Plum Wallis" - a color that will allow it to be unique, while it can be made extremely simple and straightforward. You will create a certain fulcrum in a messy and bright interior, something you can look at to take a break from bright colors and non-standard shapes.
Bedrooms
Often, to create an atmosphere of rest and relaxation, we try to use the most warm colors, decorating our bedroom, and this is the biggest mistake. The fact is that it is warm shades that charge with vivacity, energy, strength. They push us to action, not relax. To achieve the opposite effect, you need a neutral palette, namely the shade of “plum wallis”. Wardrobe, bed, bedside tables - all these furniture elements must be designed in this color. You can reinforce the relaxation interior with beige, pearl or gray walls, against the background of which such furniture will look unusually bewitching and magical.
Kitchens
Designers believe that kitchens should either be decorated in a classic style, or use very bright and rich colors. But everyone has different tastes, and if your whole apartment is a realm of naturalness and neutrality, then the kitchen should be its continuation. What interior elements can be sustained in the shade of “plum wallis”? Table, chairs, working set, hinged shelves. In order to dilute the interior, you can use absolutely any color - both light, and bright or dark. We have already said that the plum color of furniture is considered universal, so it will be perfectly combined with the whole palette. We draw your attention to the fact that if all kitchen furniture is designed in a neutral color, then a bright accent is simply necessary. Otherwise, the interior will turn out to be "fresh", uninteresting and boring.
Office Ideas
Neutral shades - just a godsend for the design of the office space. Here people should be focused on work, and not on their thoughts or dreams, therefore, nothing should distract them from the work process. For this, furniture and flooring in the “plum wallis” shade are used. An important feature: in this case, this color is not complemented by anything - there are no bright accents. The result is the very “fresh" interior, which is not noticeable, but perfectly matches the office strict and business style.
Conclusion
Modern designers, as it turned out, can create not only intricate shapes, but also new colors that will be used to create furniture. Among them there are unsuccessful options, but along with them there are real hits that are incredibly beautiful, attractive and versatile. This is exactly the shade of “plum wallis”. It can be used in the design of the floor, found in furniture sets or individual elements of the interior. His calm, neutrality and non-standard - the key to success and popularity.
