The word ton sür ton is a term often encountered in the world of fashion, and today it also represents a popular trend in interior decoration. If you have previously seen a home design comprised of a single color or two colors, you are not as unfamiliar with this trend as you might think.
With tone-on-tone decoration that imparts tranquility and a striking effect to living spaces, homes can achieve a new style, moving away from being ordinary and dull. Especially if you have a favorite color, it is possible to have a decoration that will impress viewers using only this color. So, what is the tone-on-tone, which plays a color game with our eyes?
As Doğtaş, the address of stylish furniture in homes, in this content we'll discuss what tone on tone means and how to implement tone on tone decoration.
What does ton sür ton mean? The term ton sür ton or tonsurtone comes from French into Turkish. According to this concept, a color tone is selected for a particular area, and then different shades of the chosen color are used for the rest of the decoration. In short, tone on tone is an interior design style created by layering different shades of a single color.
By using the tone-on-tone trend in decoration, it is possible to achieve different designs with a single color, regardless of warmth or coolness. Thanks to this feature, the tone-on-tone trend has been quite popular in interior design in recent years. This trend is applicable to almost every type of interior design, from restaurants to hotels to homes.
The tone-on-tone trend, which provides an extraordinary, luxurious, and chic atmosphere to spaces with light and dark shades of a limited number of selected colors, might seem to be just about color usage and appear easy. However, truth be told, it can also create difficulties in selecting furniture and accessories. But don't worry, we will discuss the tips of tone-on-tone decoration in the continuation of our content.
Now you know what tone on tone is. So, how is the tone-on-tone trend applied in decoration?
Tone-on-tone colors fit with almost every color. That's the beauty of the trend. Therefore, if there is an accent wall in the room you're applying tone-on-tone, you can paint it with a dark shade of the chosen color and paint the other walls up to 2-3 shades lighter of the same color. This way, impressive imagery can be created by using different tones on different walls.
If there is a painting hanging in your favorite corner of the house and you don't know how to incorporate it into your home decoration, the best method is to get inspired by it! Choose the most dominant color or any color from the painting and use this color in the tone-on-tone decoration. This way, your living room decoration or any room design will form a unity with the painting.
Instead of using different tones of a few colors, you can also try creating a tone-on-tone decoration with a single color usage, also known as monochrome. However, to differentiate tone-on-tone from monochrome, prefer furniture in a neutral color and highlight a single color.
You can achieve this by painting the walls in one color or each wall with different shades of that color. It's also possible to follow the process in reverse. Choose furniture in shades of a single color and paint the walls in a neutral color.
Color tones, particularly on black and white, have a feature of standing out significantly. First, determine a color for yourself, then you can combine the tones of this color with the black and white colors you will use in the decoration.
The usage of black and white does not necessarily have to be with solid-colored furniture, curtains, or pieces like a plain rug, but can also be chosen as patterned black and white pieces. We leave the choice to your imagination and preference.

If you plan to reflect the tone-on-tone style in your home, it's beneficial to know that furniture selection is one of the most crucial stages. You need to be sure about the color you've decided upon because you'll need to choose furniture colors in the tone of this color. Having a different tone from the wall color will bring them more to the forefront.
For example, you can create a modern living room decoration by combining a Doğtaş Mayer gray corner sofa set with beige tones. You can also achieve the tone-on-tone trend with gray, black, and white tones spread throughout the room.
The decorative accessories you place on furniture such as dining tables or coffee tables can have a significant effect on the toning layer you are creating. You can choose accessories as a second color compatible with the selected color or in different tones of the same color.
We mentioned that black and white can be compatible with almost every color. Therefore, black or white decorative objects can also be used in tone-on-tone decoration. For example, you can add a nuance to the simplicity of tone transitions with a large black glass vase from the Doğtaş Logan accessory collection.
Using color tones flat can become overwhelming and monotonous at some point. To prevent this, you can create a more dynamic design by including different patterns in the design. You can use patterns with rugs, carpets, or with throw pillows and decors. Even by applying wallpaper on a single wall, emphasis can be achieved.
If you have decorated the entire space with the lightest and darkest tones of a color but left the doors as they were, you have not finished yet. If you wish, you can paint the doors to include them in the toning.
Windows usually cover a large portion of the walls in homes. Therefore, curtains have a wide area. By using a curtain in lighter tones of your chosen color, you do not break the light of the environment and achieve harmony.
Another large area of rooms is the floor. If you have such a chance, tone usage is possible on the floor too. For example, colorful flooring, tiles, carpets, etc., are suitable for this application. However, of course, neutral floors will be the most risk-free option. In this context, parquet in colors like white, cream, or black can also be used.
Narrow and dimly lit spaces can appear more stifling with the wrong color choice. That's why we recommend choosing light colors in such areas to reflect the light best. Use light tones on walls and floors. You can use darker tones in curtains and furniture. Also, don't forget to complete the decoration with accessories.
Browns never go out of fashion. By choosing a brown sofa set for the living room decoration, you can use other pieces in lighter tones in the decoration. Again, you can complete the decoration with a coffee table in brown tones, light-toned throw pillows, beige and similar colored wallpaper.
As you can see in the Doğtaş Maison sofa set image above, since the color that suits the earth tones best is green, by adding green leafy house plants, you can achieve a perfect look.
By using the noble shades of blue, you can create a quality and chic tone-on-tone decoration in your living room. By combining a slightly darker blue sofa like the Doğtaş Bristol set with walls painted in lighter shades of blue, you can give the impression of a space designed by a professional interior designer. However, it's important to note that since dark shades of blue can absorb light, proper lighting is essential.
Cream color, being a light color, has the feature of making the areas where it is used appear wider and more spacious. You can add a cream-colored sofa like the Doğtaş Lucca corner set to your living room decoration and choose the wall color in tones close to white.
To add vibrancy to the environment, you can include accessories in different colors like green or orange. However, ensure to not include too many colors, focusing on using the shades of certain colors to maintain the tone on tone style.
