Monochromatic color schemes the newest hot interior design trend

Think one-color schemes are boring and outdated? Think again. Actually, monochromatic designs are all the rage in fashion and interior design. According to interior design expert Leah Ingram, "Finding home color scheme ideas based on a monochromatic theme is hot in the home décor world."

Variations on a theme

Having a monochromatic scheme doesn’t mean you have to keep reusing the exact same shade of red over and over. Feel free to mix it up with darker maroons and lighter rose colors. The important thing is that you focus on one color family. Incorporating this style into your interior design shouldn’t be too tricky; you likely already have several home décor pieces that are all the same or similar colors.

Neutral colors work, too

Ingram said the best way to pull off the monochromatic trend is to "make sure to choose plenty of shade variations within one color . . . This is the key to what makes this trend hot." She also said that this idea can work with a neutral color like white, since then you can include colors such as cream, ivory, or white with a tinge of pink or blue.

Mix up materials and textures

A tricky aspect of this trend is to keep your room from appearing flat. You can alleviate what might be a bland style by mixing up a variety of textures. Ingram suggested, "Try mixing materials whenever possible, like glossy paint and a textured rug, or a smooth couch with pillows featuring a raised pattern."

Wall Widget

EZ Snap™ Wall Widgets are used when your old or existing wall back plate has been removed or if you have to hang your new cover 1 inch or higher to bring them up to a height that will fit our installation guidelines. Just measure your overall desired height, subtract 1", drill a hole, preferably in a stud and attach it to the wall with the included screw.

Floor Fidgets

EZ Snap™ Floor Fidgets easily raise your new covers ¾ inch to compensate for any ¾ inch floor (wood, tile, or other) that has been installed any time since your baseboard heater was originally installed. May be used for any reason when the overall height has been shortened and the total height is less than 7-½ inches for standard height or 9-½ inches for the TALL height EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Covers. Just use the self-tapping screws to secure them to the top of your existing wallplate.

Wall Contraptions

EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions are used when your wall back plate has been completely removed. EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions receives your EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Cover and keeps your aluminum fin tube from sagging. These completely replace your wall back plate. To install, slide up from the bottom and make sure the top is at your desired height. Screw to the wall, then bend the front finger up to hold the fin tube in place.
