You are probably familiar with the 3D combination puzzle called the Rubik’s Cube. Invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and architecture professor Ernö Rubik, the Rubik’s Cube was first designed as a teaching tool to understand 3D projects using 6 different solid colors. The cube is famous for its vibrant primary color selection, available in a variety of combinations since it first was released on the market in 1980.

So what does it have to do with your household?

At home, you can recreate a similar vibe as the Rubik's cube by decorating with primary colors. While it’s a move away from the typical interior color palette (lately, neutral), it can be a fantastic solution for creative people who want each room to stand as an individual and, of course, the perfect look for kids' rooms.

If you’re looking to revamp your home and want to get away from neutral schemes, a colorful Rubik’s Cube room of sorts can give you all the creative freedom you need. After all, who says you should stick to one color palette?

The Rubik's Cube Room Trend: Decorating With Primary Colors

Pick A Color...Or Many!

It’s fair to say that not everyone appreciates decorating in primary colors. But once you’ve selected the right paint products that can take your home a million miles’ away from a minimalist's decor, you can take some time to consider your painting choices. Indeed, this vibrant interior style is what you would call a maximalist decor, and while it can be the perfect choice for your home, you need to be careful about your selection of color. It’s always a good idea to use sample swatches to figure out the best option for your rooms.

If It's A Bold Move, Tread Wisely

A Room At A Time

If you're hesitate about going the full monte and decorate all four walls in Rubik's Cube style, how about just painting one wall? Typically, an accent wall is designed to create a point of focus that breaks the monotony of a room. When you’re using primary colors, a patterned wall can be a great way to inject a pop of color to your home. If done properly, it can enhance even a more neutral color scheme. Achieving a balance between your base coat and your pattern color(s) is crucial to bringing the room together. You can use white or cream as the base to tone down a vibrant decor, for instance.

For small to medium rooms, you shouldn’t need more than a couple of days to transform a room into a vibrant world of color. If you are going to paint a patterned wall, or add a colorful wall mural, you might want to factor in an extra day. Take the time to invest in the decor of each room as well, taking care that your furniture and accessories complement your new color scheme.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure that the colors you choose flow well. While the idea behind a Rubik's Cube color scheme is to use bright, primary colors, you don't necessarily want to have a patchwork of paint going on throughout your home.
