These 4 Colors Instantly Make Your Interior Look Cheap: You'll Definitely Use Them

Have you ever noticed how some rooms look like a museum of bad taste, even if they have expensive furniture?

It's all about the colours, which subtly transform the space into something reminiscent of a cheap 90s hotel.

Choosing the wrong shade is like wearing an evening dress with sneakers: it might seem like a small detail, but it’s the one that ruins the whole look.

Imagine a bright orange wall in your living room. It seems bold and modern, but in reality the orange peel color visually “eats up” the space, making it look like the lobby of an abandoned movie theater.

Even worse is the poisonous green sofa, which, instead of adding elegance, gives the room a touch of cheap glamour.

Such shades work like screaming advertising: they attract attention, but not to beauty, but to disharmony.

One of the main enemies of a cozy interior is cold lilac. It creates a feeling of sterility of a hospital room, especially under artificial lighting. If you add shiny accessories "like gold", you will get not luxury, but a parody of it.

Even more dangerous is dirty pink, which even in minimal doses resembles faded wallpaper from Soviet apartments.

How to avoid failure? Replace acid tones with muted analogues. Instead of poisonous green - deep emerald, instead of orange - terracotta.

Cool lilac can easily be transformed into a noble lavender by adding warm textures like linen textiles.

If you want bright accents, use them in moderation: a vase, a painting or pillows, but not walls and furniture.

Interior is like makeup: subtle nuances decide everything. One wrong color can ruin even the most thoughtful idea. Check right now — are there any of these style destroyers in your home?
