Are you unhappy with your home's interior design? If so, you may be the victim of a bad color scheme. It's no secret that color can either make or break a design, but luckily, neither is finding out how to choose the perfect color palette for you.
When the colour is Right :
• Enhance feelings of health and well-being
• Modify perceived temperature - make your space feel warmer or cooler
• Transform perceived space - make your space feel larger, or more cozy and intimate
• Illuminate dark areas
• Create mystery and romance in dull areas
• Energize static areas
But it has to be the right colour for you. Colour, and the psychology of color, is a big design trend.
According to these
Green is relaxing, blue is soothing,
Red is energizing
Electric green definitely would not be relaxing
Deep blue-green might feel cold instead of soothing
The wrong red used in an entire room might create the sensation of entrapment rather than energy.
Before planning color in your personal environment, make a mini-questionnaire and poll yourself and your family.You can start with these five. The answers will lead you to your new colour scheme.
1. Where is the room?
2. How many windows are there and which direction do they face?
3. Is there landscaping outside that will have an effect on the colours in the room?
4. Who will use the room, and what will they do there? Is it private or community space?
5. Will it be a sociable and active place, or a peaceful place? How do I want it to feel?
