color palette #1
Bauhaus design, with its emphasis on functionality, clean lines, and geometric forms, can sometimes feel stark. But don’t be fooled! It’s entirely possible to create a warm and inviting space that embraces the Bauhaus aesthetic while showcasing your personal style.
This palette explores how to achieve just that, using a vibrant palette and iconic designer pieces as our guide.
Imagine a room bathed in natural light, the backdrop a crisp white wall. The foundation of our color scheme lies in a sophisticated grey carpet, providing a neutral canvas for the bolder elements to come.
Underfoot, a touch of playful texture is introduced with a subtle animal print rug. This adds a hint of organic pattern without overwhelming the clean lines of the space.
The focal point of the room is undoubtedly the striking red sofa, the “Anagram” sofa by Panter & Tourron, a modern interpretation of classic Bauhaus forms.
Its vibrant hue adds a pop of color and anchors the space. Complementing the sofa’s boldness is a striking vintage poster hanging on the wall, its colors echoing the red and adding a touch of artistic flair. Above, the iconic PH 5 Pendant light by Louis Poulsen, a masterpiece of mid-century design, casts a warm, inviting glow.
Storage and display are handled with a mix of industrial chic and playful color. Stainless steel shelving provides a sleek backdrop for decorative objects. while a vibrant blue shelving (The Rayonnage Mural by Jean Prouvé) adds a surprising pop of color and visual interest.
A smaller yellow side table (CONFIGURATION #05) in a different corner offers a similar playful touch, creating a balanced yet dynamic feel.
The interplay of textures and materials is crucial. A sleek glass coffee table, the Barcelona Coffee table by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to be exact, sits at the center of the seating area, its transparency adding lightness and sophistication. A cream throw blanket draped over the sofa adds a touch of cozy comfort, inviting you to relax and unwind. Adding to the comfort is a patterned pillow cover in a geometric Bauhaus-inspired print, further enhancing the space.
Lighting is key in a Bauhaus-inspired interior. In addition to the pendant light, a white Bauhaus wall lamp by Ikea provides focused light for reading or working.
Finally, touches of nature and personality are woven in. An orange glass vase, filled with seasonal blooms, adds a vibrant accent and echoes the warmth of the red sofa. A white plant pot houses a lush green plant, bringing a breath of fresh air into the space. The iconic Eames House Bird perched on the shelving adds a whimsical touch.
