How Colors affect you in Decor
You may think that one color is the same as any other, but numerous studies have found otherwise. Researchers have found that certain colors can evoke corresponding emotions in the viewer, and that the colors you see have a close relationship to your mood. This is big news when you’re about to redo the decor in a space where you want to have a particular feel and ambiance.
For those rooms where you want to be able to relax and be calm in, stick with some light colored pastel choices. Yes you can repaint your walls, or just one wall to help take care of that anxiety that you might feel after a long day of work. One of the best rooms to try this in is the bedroom. Some great choices for color are a baby blue or even a light pastel pink.
When you think of passion and romance one color comes to mind, and that’s red. But stop before you rush out to buy gallons of red paint to change around your bedroom to ignite some passion you should know a bit more. Though red will make you feel passionate and like you have more energy if you see the color too much it will also cause anger and even aggression. So only add in some red with the decor or one wall of red paint. You don’t want to change the room into one where only anger is felt.
Light yellow is very appropriate for public areas like the dining room because it’s a happy, vibrant color that captures a great mood for gathering rooms. Natural light also works well with shades of yellow, so the color will work great for living rooms, sun rooms and just about any place with windows. Just keep things towards the softer end of the yellow spectrum so that the color doesn’t get too overpowering.
You can use different colors in a room, but try and keep some neutral color in there too. Perhaps a nice rug that is more a neutral color to tone down the colors you have picked out. Perhaps that red that you love so much, if you have it in a room where you also have a rug that is beige you may well have a wonderful room. Try not to use more than two colors in a room though.
If you haven’t added too much color to the walls, or you feel that is too big of a jump. You can add in some different colors with a nice area rug. They come in many colors, and in a bland room can add in just enough color to make the room go from boring to better than boring. Make sure the rug works to tie the overall look of the room together.
Of course some people are worried about changing their rooms too much. In that case, use a white on the walls, this will work with any theme that you may want to use in the room. Just don’t forget to add in a bit of color with other items in the room. You can make a room that has all white walls still exciting if you use other colors around the room.
Interior Decorating experts all agree that it is essential to use area rugs. And as discussed here one of the most popular ranges is the plain rugs.
