"Interior design color fundamentals to make your project a smashing success…"Color has the single greatest impact on a design plan. Your chosen interior design color scheme will affect the perceptions and feelings that you will experience within your living environment. In short…color is more than just an aesthetic decision; it actually has powerful influences.
Did you know that we humans are wired to perceive certain colors as being cool while interpreting other hues as having a sense of warmth? It’s true! Maybe it’s because we associate specific colors to phenomena we observe in the natural world around us – an icy, white snow drift, a red hot fire or a serene green meadow, for example. So what is your project’s color code? Have you considered how you want your space to feel - calming, regal, exciting or cheerful? Color is a key factor in achieving the exact perception you want to experience in your space. Did you know that there is one technique for creating a room with pop and energy and a different one for creating a sense of serenity and relaxation? The answers to these secrets can be found in the color wheel. And it’s not a cryptic as you may think. So...before rushing out to your local home improvement center to be overwhelmed with hundreds (if not thousands) of hues and color combinations within exactly 5 minutes flat, get a solid sense of direction first by checking out my pages on these color-related topics:
