Looking to give your decor a refresh? You've come to the right place. Why not center everything around a colorful fire extinguisher, with very flashy colors? It's ideal if your living room seems a bit too gloomy and dull. This type of extinguisher will add presence and, above all, a good dose of vibrancy to your decor. Here are some tips on how to make the most of it, without going to extremes.
A colorful fire extinguisher as a focal point for your decor
In your living room, imagine a centerpiece that will set the tone for the entire decor. This piece could be a painting, a sofa, or why not, a colorful fire extinguisher. Gone are the days of shapeless red fire extinguishers. The fire extinguisher has now become a very trendy decorative object.
This object will dictate the tempo for the room's colors. But when choosing your colors, pay attention to the floor. You must also take it into account. If you have a dark-colored floor, for example, dark colors should be avoided. On the other hand, if the floor is light, it will go with all existing tones. Remember that a decorative fire extinguisher in no way loses its primary functions. It is first and foremost a safety device before being a decorative object.
No more than 3 colors for your decor
This is the basic rule. If you choose the fire extinguisher as the central element of your decor, be careful not to use too many colors. If you start with a very flashy extinguisher, like apple green or neon yellow, balance it out with objects in intermediate colors and then neutral colors.
Place your extinguisher where you want it. Knowing that it is an emergency device, it should not be installed just anywhere. A fire extinguisher must be accessible and clearly visible. Place your brightly designed extinguisher on a wall. Then use more subdued colors for the other pieces to enhance the wall's aesthetic while giving volume to the whole.
Create your own interior design
Act like a pro and create your own style guide. In this document, you will record all the bright colors you like. From there, take inspiring images that you will place next to each shade. This way, you can visualize the homogeneity of the style you are looking for.
Knowing how to choose between a warm or cool colored fire extinguisher
For the design of your fire extinguisher, you have a wide range of colors. Warm colors such as yellow, pink, red, or orange bring cheerfulness and dynamism to a whole. An extinguisher with one of these colors will therefore not go unnoticed. Warm colors radiate and subtly disperse all the light in the room.
Cool colors like blue and green are more synonymous with calm and rest. If you opt for an extinguisher of this color, you will give more depth to the room. An extinguisher of this color can be easily placed in a living room if, of course, you combine it with a warm tone.
