Monotonous, also in design

The use of a single colour, both in fashion and accessories and in interior design, is a trend that stands out for its visual appeal.

Look up “monotonous” in a dictionary and you may find it described as dull or lacking variety. When it comes to colour, however, a space designed around one shade can be anything but monotonous.

Different intensities, textures and patterns can bring variety and visual richness to a single-colour scheme. Warm, soft shades create calm, elegant and welcoming spaces, while bold, energetic colours can give a room a striking contemporary look.

Exploring all the possibilities of a single colour takes planning: it helps to have a clear idea of the result you want before starting a project. There is no need to use only one colour, though. You can combine several shades and keep the same overall effect as long as one clearly predominates.

Finding the right palette across different materials can be difficult. With the Rúbrica ceramic collection, we offer a wide range of tiles in six shades. Their nuances, reliefs and finishes make it easier to create a single-colour space with depth and character.

The varied textures and glazes in the Rúbrica collection reflect light in different ways, creating an interplay of glossy and satin surfaces while one colour remains the focus. Discover more possibilities with Rúbrica.
