Discover what colors match your dwelling.
Usage of colour offers the designer a substantial variety of possibilities to implement his creative dream. Whatever is the size of your flat, it can be aesthetically increased with the help of colour setting. All the richness and variety of tints can be brought to the 7 colours of the basic spectrum that follow each other.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, dark blue, violet are chromatic colours. White, gray and black are achromatic, i.e. colourless.
Every colour induces specific associations, and preference for a specific colour is always specific and depends upon particular traits of the character. It is well-known that there is no accounting for tastes. Some individuals have extremely developed colour perception, others don't. You must have taken note of the truth that some colours or their mixes are visually calming and set one's mind to rest, some convey the sensation of pleasure, some cause almost physical pain and others have a dismaying result. Obviously, when you choose the colours of setting, it is best to consult a designer.
When you select the colour setting of this or that space of your house, you need to take into the account different factors: if the windows deal with the north, it is much better to prefer warm colours, if it is the south, then cold colours will be proper. Other factors are the quality of lighting, due to the fact that the colour reflects the light, and the type of zone (whether it is a cooking area or a drawing-room, a children's room or a study). Saturated, brilliant colours are the most appropriate for setting of a drawing room or a dining-room.
White and blue (related to cleanness and water) are good for the bathroom, but are not suitable for a cooking area; for a drawing space and a cooking area you 'd better pick yellow or orange colours, warm and soft tints of red and white. Besides don't ignore parameters of the room-- brilliant walls visually reduce the amount of area, while dark ones expand it. For instance, red, orange and yellow can help make a big space with little furnishings look smaller sized and more comfortable. When you select the wall colour, keep in mind that furniture, soft home furnishings and curtains are to be in harmony with the walls. If furnishings upholstery, covering on the trestle-bed and curtains are patterned, it is better to make walls plain. Mix of colours is to be approached attentively, do not rely on opportunity. For example, it is much better not to integrate red and green, because it is hard to view this mix, specifically if these colours are given in equivalent proportions. Bright yellow can be a great background for any colour (in China collections of porcelain were constantly displayed versus a yellow background). Stencil looks well on a yellow wall. Green poorly read this matches all colours, except for numerous tints of the exact same colour.
Orange is related to the golden orange. And this indicates warmth, vivacity, delight. The interior of a cold northern room can be embeded in orange tones.
Yellow is an extremely "warm" colour. If your room lies on the northern side, abundance of yellow in the interior will produce the impression that your rooms are "cheerful", warm, even if in reality, sunrays are rare visitors in your apartment. Psychologists believe that yellow is suitable for people who have an active walk of life and can quickly adjust to any environment. At the exact same time yellow can irritate, everything depends on a particular tint.
Green is considered to have a relaxing effect and be good both for eyes and soul. More than likely, it occurs, since this colour is the closest to nature. Undoubtedly, the canvases of ancient painters, where green tints predominate, "recover" the souls. Green is likewise thought about to be the colour of conservatives, maybe since it was favoured in Victorian England. Green looks great in interiors of big and light spaces. In setting of the workplace, we suggest that you use dark tints of dark blue and green. Different tints of dark blue cause different emotions. Blue is the colour of the sky, area, air, freedom. Deep blue communicates a feeling of calmness.
Navy-blue casts sadness, some peoples consider it to be the colour of mourning. Psychologists suggest to use dark blue for a bed room. Some people are extremely keen on violent, others abhor it. Violet is thought to be a "magic" colour-- indeed, it hides some secret. Maybe, the colour of the night sky induces such associations? Artists think that violet has something uncomfortable and unfortunate in it. It is better to utilize light tints of violet in living quarters, as deep and brilliant tints of violet bring about fatigue.
Gray is the "universal" colour, it harmonises with almost all other colours. Maybe, it is the preferred colour of designers, as it has many tints and is an ideal background. It is calm and neutral, however, it is better to utilize it in combination with other colours, since sole gray can appear boring.
Finally, black and white. Two poles, 2 deeply symbolic colours, 2 extremes, but when combined, they highlight and shade in each other, and therefore create fancy classics. Both colours are classy, "universal" and never ever head out of fashion. We can state that they are beyond fashion.
Black marvelously shades in any colour and makes it more expressive. A verandah or a hall, if they are well-lit, can be ended up with shining marble panels. Black appears to diffuse the borders of the room. In a restroom you can use black mirror-like tiles. But take into the account that black takes in light; abundance of black is possible, only when there is plenty of lighting.
Everybody loves white, it is the colour of freshness, cleanness, coolness, related to cheerfulness and health. White is essential in little poorly-lit spaces. In a restroom without any daylight, white tiled walls will show the light of the light, increase the illuminance of the room and aesthetically "draw apart" the here walls.
Of course, there is a terrific variety of all thinkable colour tints. Of greatest value is your desire to discover that very mix that corresponds to your vision of the interior setting. If the colour is appropriately picked, it can emphasize the benefit and conceal the problem. Unleash your fantasy. Keep in mind about colour homes, when you choose the setting. We have actually already pointed out that it is necessary to take into the account place of the space with regard to primary points. If the room deals with the south, cold colours can predominate in the setting; if it is the north, select warmer colours. Calm reserved colours are a perfect background for precious and pricey things. For example, strong furniture and a stunning picture will look terrific against a light gray background. The colour of the walls must necessarily match the colour of furniture upholstery and floor topping.
In the kitchen it is better to utilize light tones of walls in mix with light furniture. If you want contrast, it can be produced by intense dishware on the shelves, bright drapes, a pattern.
A restroom, lit by just electrical lighting, looks finest in brilliant tones. It is recommended to utilize white, pastel, light tints of yellow, green, blue and pink. Sanitary engineering pipelines and joints are to painted the very same colour. In lobbies, corridors and halls you can use contrasting colours for wall ending up. The ceiling can be "drawn down", if its colour is a number of tints darker than walls. You can use wallpapers with horizontal stripes. The very same result can be reached, if the ceiling and the 30-40 cm of adjacent wall area is covered with a lighter paint.
The ceiling can be "lifted", if it is painted white, better with a light blue tint. You can likewise paint or paper the walls as much as the ceiling without slats, if horizontal stripes of warm colours dominate the wallpaper pattern.
Saturated warm and dark tones or wallpapers with large pattern add to visual minimization of big rooms. If the room is long and narrow, it is much better to paint longitudinal walls in lighter tones, and crosswalls-- in darker tones. Then the room will seem shorter and lower. It works, if one wall has a different colour. A small room can be visually broadened, utilizing light, but cold colours. Light green, silver gray and light blue will visually broaden the space. In little spaces it is undesirable to have dark furniture, dark drapes and carpets with dark tints. It is better to paint the doors in light tones-- white, light gray and ivory. Flooring with a light colour looks more pleasant, than a dark one. So, make your option.
