According to recent design trends, the pale monochromatic color schemes we know all-too-well are out and bolder renditions are in! This article explores professional designs in bold monochrome and how readers can follow suit.
New Year, new you, new monochrome! If you’re partial to vivid colors and striking color compositions, you might find yourself enchanted by the bold monochromatic color schemes of late. Bold monochrome speaks to those amongst us who are color-hungry and its current trendiness bodes well for designers and homeowners hoping to offset the gloom of January with a little more vibrancy.

As we discovered with pale monochromatic palettes, single-color designs can pack a big punch, even if you’re working with light and neutrals colors. If you want to substitute pale hues with bolder ones, the logic is the same: you’ll need a base color, as well as color variances including darker and lighter renditions of your base color. Using these color variances in tandem will create the depth and visual intrigue that’s hallmark of a monochrome palette.
