The young French avant-garde artist Yves Klein patented this unusual shade in 1960. Color is associated with something cosmic, fascinates the complexity of the hue and is very popular among designers. Why the blue Klein color is so popular and how to handle it properly in interiors? Let’s turn to the experience of interior designers.

Be careful – it is blue!

Unlike classical blue, it does not calm, but excites, motivates the movement, adds to the environment dynamics, emotion. It is better to work with such blue composedly. Overabundance of color will make the interior nervous, anxious. However, small doses of blue will serve as emotional doping.

Three rules of design for the color of Yves Klein

2. Monochrome is preferable

Yves Klein was a monochromic artist; he painted monochrome canvases of various sizes. That is why its color looks very profitable by itself. What can be done with the help of it? You can paint a part of the wall in one color. Where it is possible to find Klein’s cherished shade? Blue interior paint by TRIORA № 282А, Patriotic blue can help. It perfectly repeats the hue.

Important: Choose the wall that you do not look at all the time. If the blue is constantly in front of you, it will eventually create discomfort.

The interior silky-matt paint for wooden surfaces by TRIORA is suitable. In addition, to ensure that the material is firmly entrenched on the surface, we recommend covering the doors with colorless lacquer by TRIORA.
