Gray-green color scheme in the interior: style from Almodovar

We do not advise you to follow the example of the heroes of Pedro Almodovar in solving family problems. But you can and should learn the basics of color from the director! Take a look and see: the color schemes from his latest film, Open Embraces, are good not only on the screen, but also in the interior.

The interiors in Almodovar’s films are no less eloquent than the dialogues of the actors. The color of the walls in the room can tell more about the feelings of the heroine than the text she utters. This is the great merit of Antkson Gomez, to whose services Almodovar resorts with enviable constancy. On their joint account five films, including the last work of the director – “Open embrace”. So what we see. The interior of the bedroom of an elderly millionaire (Jose Luis Gomez), unlike the outfits of his girlfriend (Penelope Cruz), does not dazzle with the glitter of gold: the walls, painted in a dusty, discreet color, are conservative leather furniture… However, this restraint is very deceiving. The interior, built on complex colors – gray-green and muted red, combined with warm shades of wood and leather, does not look pretentious, but expensive. Largely due to the use of natural materials. Several deep wine-red details add to the ambiance of the room more dramatic.

The combination of yellow and red is rather risky. Yellow is the brightest color in the spectrum. It is no coincidence that taxis, school buses and radiation warning signs are painted in it – it attracts attention. Red excites, raises the heartbeat and even increases appetite (which is why fast food owners love this color so much). The combination of two such active colors is serious stress for the psyche… However, in this case, a muted, ocher shade of yellow was chosen for wall decoration, which does not excite, like its more saturated counterpart, but makes the room more sunny. Accents of red add conviviality to the atmosphere. This combination is suitable for a public area, dining room or living room, it is the perfect backdrop for socializing. For Almodovar, this combination helps to highlight the “film in the film” – the film, which is shot by the main character (Ruben Ochandiano). It’s easy to guess from the color alone that her genre is a comedy.

Unable to resolve the love-professional crisis, the heroes of the film simply run away from it – of course, at sea. The hotel on the island of Lanzarote where they stay is decorated in shades of orange and blue, and for good reason. Cold shades have a calming effect on the psyche, orange raises the mood, brown adds warmth and comfort to the interior and creates a feeling of reliability, it’s not for nothing that conservatives of all stripes love it. The result: a space conducive to relaxation, the perfect hideaway from personal and world problems. When decorating your home “relaxation zone”, give preference to matte surfaces, rich textures and natural materials – they will help you to relax. In a “representative” area, for example a living room, it is appropriate to combine matte surfaces with shiny ones: they will add gloss to the interior.
