Go Ombre: 10 Home Design Inspirations

The ombre style has stolen the scene since it has gone public. The trend was applied to garments, modern apparels, the hair, phone cases, event decors and many more. Ombre-infused objects are stimulating and interesting.

Maybe it’s time for you to take a little ombre inside your home?

Ombre is usually made from one hue, but when one color is mixed with another one which complements it, magic happens. Try this on home fabric decorations like your curtain or your bed sheet.

Another method of effortlessly achieving ombre flair is through painting. You can choose a base color and mix in white paint. Adjust the amount of added white paint that you add to each color “spectrum”.

You can paint cabinet drawers according to color intensity.

Ombre can be further made more appealing through experimenting with the materials used. When ruffled strips of cloths in ascending color intensity are sewn together, a divine home décor your friends will be jealous of will be created.

Another fun DIY is an ombre chandelier or lamp. Get some paint chips, cut them out – in a round pattern using ordinary scissors or a fancy one (to have that pastry edge effect) – and string them in together. You can directly hang it as a chandelier or you could place a bulb in the center to convert it into a lantern.
