Use the right color schemes for your home.
Before painting your home or picking out your furniture and appliances, you might want to understand the subconscious meanings behind the colors you choose. While many psychologists make sure to indicate that reaction to colors can be affected by prior experiences, there are general impacts to colors that affect the mood of a room.
Green is the safest color as it symbolizes nature and has a calming feel. These are good for the bedrooms or reading rooms. Dark green can have a masculine feel associated with wealth.
Yellow is the most cheerful and attention getting but can be overpowering. Babies will cry more in brightly yellow rooms for pete’s sake! So, be prudent with the yellow colors.
Purple is a regal color reflecting wealth and prosperity and a feminine and romantic color. It can also be construed as artificial as it is the rarest color in nature.
Brown is one of the most common color as it’s abundance on earth. Too much brown can connote a sad feel though.
Blue is also a common color as it reflects water and the sky. It is also like green in the fact it has a calming effect.
Red is the most emotionally intense color. Reflecting love and attention. Be careful with red and make sure to use it as an accent color.
White reflects innocence and purity. It reflects light the best and is easy in decorating as it goes with everything. Too much white shows sterility which is why hospitals and staff mostly wear white. White is also the easiest to show wear and tear and dirt. It is best to be an accent as well.
Black reflects power and authority. That’s why many authority figures dress in black clothes. Black can also connote villains so be careful unless you’re a bank robber or something.
Too much of one color can be overpowering even if it’s the calming ones such as blue and green. Make sure to balance or accentuate properly. With these themes in mind, look at the rooms of your house and ask yourself what do you want that room to emanate. Begin with that premise then pick the proper colors for your home decorating.
