Did you know that color psychology can affect the way you think and feel ?
Example the bright blue in a clear morning sky makes us feel alive and free; the deep purples and reds in the flowers that bloom in Spring evoke emotions of warmth, life and energy. It’s true! That why you have to more careful when you choose the colors for your room.
Decide what mood you want to convey your guest throughout your home. Relaxed, dramatic, romantic, etc. This will help guide you in terms of color saturation (how intense/bright the color is) and how much of it you use.
Choose 2 -3 of your absolute favorite colors & than choose complementary color. Create a mood board for a better picture. After That Go for Paint work , Upholstery & Furniture , soft furnishing (curtain, cushion , Rug , bed sheet etc.) , Lighting & Last choose the Statement Piece for complete look of the Room.
Types of Color Schemes –
Monochromatic – A monochromatic color scheme is one where different shades of one color are used. For example using different shades of blue, ranging from pale to navy.
Analogous – An analogous color scheme is one where you use colors that fall next to each other on the color wheel. For example, using green and blue. The analogous color scheme refers to using three colors in a row on the color wheel. Typically, two colors will be either primary colors with the third shade being a mix of the two and a secondary color. For example, you could choose red, orange, and yellow or red, purple, and blue. The key to using this color scheme successfully is proportion. Again, the 60-30-10 Rule comes into play.
Complementary – Complementary colors are positioned opposite each other on the color wheel. Every primary color has a complement that creates a vibrant contrast. If you like the idea of a complimentary color scheme, but are afraid it may be a little too bold for your tastes, split complimentary is a safer choice. you would first choose your base shade. Then, instead of choosing the color directly opposite of your base, you chose the two shades on either side of the opposite color.
Those two shades will provide a much needed sense of balance to the room.
Warm – Red, orange, yellow and the colors in which they show dominance (or the colors with these as undertones).
Cool – Blue, green, violet and the colors in which they show dominance ( or colors with these as their undertones).
Accent colors – These are the one which are used to create the ‘pop of color’, these have to be intense and bright with an opposite undertone. Remember, with the accent color ‘less is more’, use it as minimum as possible, instead of creating small spots of this a big, bright focal point shall be ideal. This is totally an optional color, but adding this will create a nice break and thrill in your décor.
