The article below will tell you what bronze color is, what category it belongs to and where it is used. It will also be possible to find out how relevant it is today in clothes, with what other tones and textures it is combined. Similarly, interior design options using bronze and its other shades will be presented.

Description of the color and its brief history

Bronze is a range of shades of yellow that range from green to brown. This tone has its name due to the striking similarities with the metal of the same name. The color falls into the category of warm, saturated, sometimes slightly bright tones. Depending on what effect you want, you can choose a darker or lighter shade of bronze, with or without overflows. In a word, the bronze color is very versatile, it can “adjust” to your preferences and become a worthy addition to the image or interior. The peak of its popularity fell on the first half of the 19th century. One of the fashionistas wanted to purchase material for himselffor tailoring a suit in the most fashionable tone at that time - “London smoke”. However, he went to the store at night and did not see that he had bought not something gray, but similar to a "billiard tire". Since he started wearing his new suit, the trend for this shade has spread all over the world.

Decorating our home

You can use the bronze color in the interior as the main or auxiliary, it all depends on the tastes and characteristics of the room you are decorating. If we are talking about a spacious room, living room or hall, then light shades of bronze can easily be used as the basis for wall paint. The interior will become more luxurious if you add a little fine glitter to the paint, which will make it slightly shiny and iridescent. If the room is small, but you still want to use this wonderful shade, then you can use it as a secondary one. That is, arrange furniture elements, textiles, accessories. You can also paint columns, arches, doorways and portals in bronze.

Perfect solutions for a Provence style home

Well, who doesn't love it, such an interior is light, at the same time old, with a touch of nostalgia and so cozy. You can create it using any tones, but if you use a bronze color as a secondary color, then the result will exceed any expectations. For example, let's take a small apartment, in which many modern people live. Here it is best to paint the walls in the most light colors,to be able to visually expand the space. Against the background of beige or grayish-white, forging of a bronze shade will look incredibly impressive. These can be candlesticks, mirror and picture frames, fruit stands, furniture legs, doorknobs. Forged elements can be used to decorate watches and even upholstered furniture by attaching them to the former.

Dress with taste

Unlike the versatility that bronze in the interior distinguishes, this tone is not for everyone in clothes. Golden-bronze color looks perfect on owners of a warm color type. These are red-haired girls, brown-haired, who have slightly dark skin and dark eyes (green, amber, hazel, brown). Clothing of this tone, as a rule, symbolizes success, stability in life, self-confidence, stability, intelligence. Therefore, most often business suits and sundresses are sewn from such matter, which are suitable for business meetings. You can complement a robe of this color with accessories in dark green, dark blue, gray or black. If you put on a dress or a light suit made in bronze (for a date or a visit), then you can dilute the composition with turquoise, red, yellow, coral or lilac.

Lots of combinations to choose from

Striking, but bronze is combined with almost all other tones. The main thing is not to overdo it with their number and take into account the basic color rules (if we are talking about clothes). So, the bronze color is combined with a lilac palette. In such an ensemble, it is only importantfocus on the first tone, and leave the auxiliary ones muted. Much brighter will be a combination with coral, red, pink tones. It will turn out a kind of fruit mix, which is ideal for decorating a country house. Bronze looks fresh and original in the interior in combination with light green and white tones. But the design (however, as well as the image in clothes) in the yin style will help to create dark cherry tones and aquamarine in combination with bronze.

The most up-to-date solution in the spirit of maritime traditions

Today, the turquoise color is very popular both in clothes and in the interior. It has many shades, but, alas, due to excessive brightness, it must be used with extreme caution. But in the company of a bronze tone and white (or beige), this shade will be the best basis for design fantasies on a marine theme. In this style, you can decorate the interior and create a fashionable image, and the color scheme will suit not only a woman, but also a man.
