Designing with Color
The use of color is also something very
personal. It stimulates our senses, power our mood, and helps create
a particular ambiance. How we respond to an individual color depends
on our nature, extroverts tend to feel happy with bold colors, while
introverts prefer more passive colors. Through using specific
combinations of color, combined with a careful consideration of
simple color schemes is often the most effective.
Try not to use more than one or two principal colors in a room, as
well as a contrasting or balancing tone. The best way to choose a
background color for the room is to trial with a palette of
different shades and tones, in combination with the color and
textures of the furniture and materials. Remember the general color
schemes of a home have to be in agreement. The walls define the
space in a room, while the colors, to a large degree, define the
mood.
Colored light, furnishing materials, and structural proportions, we
can create a home that is welcoming, helpful, and comfortable. Walls
are similar to background music: each color tone is like a musical
note can create a pleasant-sounding harmony while others grate with
each other. The color with which we surround ourselves will without
doubt have an effect on us, and so it is important to feel
comfortable with our choice. A discussion with a professional color
consultant can help to decide individual needs and select
appropriate color.
Colors can be divided into three main groups: those that stimulate
and uplift, those that relax and calm, and those that provide
harmony or balance. So, having taken a number of things into thought
when decorating a room, such as the size of the space, the amount of
light, the function if the room, and the style and mood we wish to
create, we finally, and most importantly, need to consider the needs
of the people who use it.
