Our mood largely depends on the situation in which we spend our time. Therefore, it is very important to choose a color scheme for the interior, suitable for temperament and general style. A properly selected color scheme creates a sense of security, peace, tranquility, comfort and causes other positive emotions.
The colors are cold and warm, bright and dark, bright and dull. And in terms of influence on the psychological state of a person, they are classified as follows:
Disintegating colors. This is usually a cold color scheme that causes some kind of inhibition: purple, blue, blue-green and other colors. Such tones are soothe, remove excitement, reduce emotionality and “stop time”.
Stimulating colors. Warm colors in the spectrum of colors from red to yellow, irritate and excite. Cause inspiration, appetite and interest of a person in the world around.
Static colors. This is green, yellow-green, olive colors, which balance, soothe and contribute to immersing a person into their inner world.
Overwhelming colors. These are dark tones, closer to black, which are able to oppress and suppress the psyche, to restore fear and horror.
Pastel shades. Soft colors that cause tenderness, warmth, weakness. These colors include pink, light green and other colors, closer to white.
The degree of influence of color on a person depends on his intensity occupied by area, a combination with other colors, exposure time and other factors.
Select colors for the interior should start with the walls of the room, given its size. So, light colors visually increase the room and add air to it, and the dark ones, on the contrary, will eat space and visually reduce it. It is also necessary to take into account the side of the world where the windows go, and the degree of illumination. If this is the northern side, then it is better to use warm and light tones in the interior, and if there are southern ones and there are no obscuring elements (balcony, loggia), choose cold tones: blue, blue-green, gray and others. And, combining contrasting colors, cold and warm, you will create a unique and unusual interior.
If you want to highlight the decor or furniture elements, you should choose neutral, for example light gray, shades in the decoration of the room. In the square room, it makes sense to highlight one of the walls with a contrasting color, but to divide the space into zones with the help of color and at the same time do not use them for its intended purpose is unreasonable. Do not forget about the color of the doors, floor and accessories. The light floor will look good with almost all the details of the interior, but too dark or bright floor can disturb the color balance and harmony. The color of the doors should be combined with furniture, wall color and floor. If in doubt, choose the white doors – they will universally approach any interior.
So, having devoted a little time to select shades and their combinations in the interior, you will make your apartment cozy, comfortable and bringing only positive emotions.
