Shimo ash color in the interior

Playing with shades in the interior is the lot of a professional, but for an amateur, the selection of colors and tones is often a real headache. The slightest mistake - and the harmonious composition disintegrates, it is not possible to copy the picture from the magazine. And often miscalculations happen precisely with furniture, its colors and shades.

Although today interior fashion is quite liberal - buying sets in one color is already considered bad manners, and more attention is paid to selection - all the same, this business cannot be called simple. We have to study the features of all popular shades. For example, "ash shimo". And even it can be different.

Consumer demand for solid ash furniture is high today. And this is understandable: manufacturers use only ecological raw materials, this breed does not dry out over time, and the strength remains at its original level. Ash also allows craftsmen to create the most complex reliefs. Shimo color is used in the production of furniture for different rooms, as well as floors and doors.

In the manufacture of furniture, "shimo light ash" and "shimo dark ash" are used. These two shades are actively competing today with “milk oak” and “wenge” (if they do not surpass them in demand). And such a color prevalence is quite understandable - in finished furniture the shades look expressive and convincing. The tones are also combined with each other, they are distinguished by a certain versatility - they are suitable for a typical finish.

To be more precise, they became an idea that did not quickly reach the post-Soviet space, but when it did, it ascended the throne for a long time. but not everyone likes this style, some refuse it at least because of the frequency of its citation. I would like to do something more unique, but for someone it is simply more pleasant shades that are more familiar to the eye.

Soft, delicate, calm colors of "ash-tree shimo" allow you to build the interior in such a way that it is both modern and retains the features of our childhood apartments with their soothing pastel colors. This is a new saying based on fond memories that already seem to be encoded in patterns of perception. And there is nothing wrong with that: "shimo ash" really fits perfectly into interiors where you don't want radical solutions. But this color will be good in something new, fresh, light, filled with the energy of today.

So, there are two shades - light and dark. They can single-handedly dominate the interior: only light or only dark. They can coexist in the same space, playing on contrasts.

The first association with him is the most delicate coffee with milk. There are stripes, they are quite clear, but thinned out, which is pleasant to the eye. Depending on the manufacturer and the designer's ideas, the shade can be either warm or cool. In some there will be more pinkish undertone, in some bluish or noticeable gray. What such furniture is good for: it lightens the interior, as if it brings air into the room. The space can be visually expanded with the help of a light shimo, it really moves away from sharp corners and contrasts that interfere with the visual effects of enlarging the room.

"Shimo" in a light variation will perfectly suit a house that chooses Provencal style, minimalism, and classics as a basis. It is a refreshing shade. It will appeal to people who are tired of radical colors, gloom, and cramped rooms. It brightens the room and relieves psychological stress.

Intense chocolate shade is what dark shimo is all about. This color is no longer accentuated. But this is a good addition: he will emphasize, highlight, make more visible, frame what is needed. This color will be appropriate, however, all in the same styles: minimalism, provence and classics.

It is in demand in the manufacture of door panels, countertops and shelves, cabinet furniture, flooring. The color is useful for those interiors where there is not enough depth, where you want some kind of solidity. It is often used by those who, on the contrary, are tired of light free tones and want a feeling of pleasant solitude, a closed space, and the creation of a separate world.

Of course, when choosing furniture by shade, you need to look at the entire list, to understand the beneficial aspects of each of the colors. And "ash shimo" should also be considered in the general company. The main distinction of "shimo" can be considered clear woody stripes.

What shades compete with it.

• "Karelian birch". The pattern of a real Karelian birch resembles marble, the background can be white, yellow and even brownish-sandy. Dark fibers shine through the light ones - this is the main highlight of the tone. Such furniture looks luxurious, and it is very difficult for shimo to compete with it.

• Sonoma Oak. And this is a more equal competitor. Initially performed in light shades. The tone is pleasant and soft, adjusting to comfort. It also visually enlarges the space and is suitable for different interior styles. Furniture of this color is best suited for rooms with windows facing north. Looks good both in monochrome settings and in rich colors.

• Belfort Oak. The impression of bump is what distinguishes this color. Scratches are almost invisible on it, it is resistant to mechanical damage, which is the main advantage of the shade. It goes well with other tones, does not require unconditional soloing in the interior. Respectable, pleasant color with great possibilities. But it cannot boast of such distinct stripes as "shimo".

• "Bleached oak". A matte shade with a pronounced texture that looks very noble in the interior. It is presented in a huge number of shades from cream to yellow, from blue-white to peach. Even a pale purple version can be found. Looks great with pastel-colored wallpaper.

• Milky Oak. This is probably the lightest shade of oak wood. The final color will depend on the processing - it can be from pinkish to silver. The color can also be warm and cold. It goes well with the wenge color: these partners can create the most advantageous combinations in the interior. Suitable for all types of rooms, but more often it is taken to the bedroom, where the atmosphere should be as relaxing as possible.

It is interesting to consider this color using the example of furniture or doors - the most noticeable interior objects.

If you mentally walk around the house, you can determine the places where the color will be more advantageous, or simply "try on" it to different rooms in the house.

• Kitchen. Such headsets are considered very resistant to thermal vibrations, mechanical stress and moisture. Furniture in this color will be a good solution for kitchens that are designed to be decorated in a classic style. And if the facades are also decorated with carvings, then you can swing at the Baroque style, at least at some of its motives.

• Bathroom. Decorating a plumbing room with a light ash mass is a solution that is gaining popularity every day. Ash furniture accepts high humidity well, so the choice is quite fair. The room is getting warmer and more comfortable.

• Living room. The dark shimo is more than a transparent hint of the Victorian aesthetic. But the Baroque style, again, can be quoted with the help of dark shimo. It is not necessary to buy whole sets of furniture in this color, for example, walls and dining groups for them - you can combine different colors, looking for ready-made successful combinations on the Internet. Only one peremptory "shimo" can create the illusion of emptiness in the room.

• Bedroom. Since the color is delicate, it is quite suitable for a bedroom. To create a classic style in the room - even more so. Everything is calm and gentle, without contrasts and transitions, pacifying - for many people the bedroom should be just that.

• Hallway. If it is not impressive in footage, the simplest solution is to take light-colored furniture and make the appropriate finish. And "shimo" is a good fit for this task.

Interior doors made of real ash will be good even in rooms where the humidity is higher than normal. If this is a door made of chipboard or fiberboard, and just an imitation of ash, it is better not to install this option in the bathroom. And in any imitation you will not see the naturalness of the texture, only a pale copy.

But to do so that both the doors and the furniture in the room are of the same color is probably not worth it now. A feeling of suppression, blurring may be created. They almost don't do that anymore. Moreover, it is not even necessary to make all the doors in the apartment from one set. For example, the swing door to the living room may well be of the decisive color of dark "shimo ash", while other doors visible in the corridor can be painted to match the color of the wall, as if merging with it. This is a fashionable technique now that really benefits the interior.

If this is a light "shimo", then against the background of pale walls (even paler than himself), this color will look more advantageous. And here if the wall is light, but a tone or two darker than it, the color, on the contrary, can be lost, lose its expressiveness. The furnishings will be completely impersonal, if the wallpaper, floor, furniture are made in the same tone - a kind of interior vacuum is obtained. No, one should emphasize the other, accentuate, etc.

The dark shimo plays well with contrasts. A combination with white, beige, pastel - something definitely lighter will suit him. It looks interesting dark "shimo" with blue shades, with delicate turquoise, with aqua. For example, a shimo wall and a turquoise plush sofa are a great interior combination.

Blue or green wallpaper is a good combination with dark doors or dark "shimo" in furniture. This rich and deep brotherhood of colors creates an aristocratic interior. But trying to combine dark "shimo" and "wenge" in one space is not a good idea. Only an experienced designer will do this beautifully, the rest cannot reconcile two colors that do not create bright contrasts or, conversely, gentle transitions. Rather, they will simply argue in the interior.
