The Use of Color For Home Decor

Imagine life without color: you wouldn’t know night from day, stop from go, dead from alive. These and much more are the significance and relevance of color in our lives. In the same way, people react to colors. They are moved by it, and respond to it according to what emotions a particular color may evoke in the seer.

Day 20/365 : The unseen great little worldColors can add personality to a room.

Colors in furniture add life and create the mood or tone and character that you want in a particular room in the house. Color creates visual illusion. Color can create the illusion of having more space than reality allows. Brighter space. Cozier space. Narrower space. etc etc.

A good interior designer, or a simple housewife has their decorating and furnishing ally in colors. Interior designers or housewives seeking to improve the looks of their homes should not be afraid to use color. They must understand that in decorating a room or picking out other items of home decor, color is extremely significant, Many people start with a favorite piece of wall art, a rug or upholstery to coordinate around.

However, there are also basic principles when dealing with colors. When you are working with colors in home decorating, there are two basic types–warm and cool colors or tones.

Warm Colors

What are the warm colors and cool colors and how do furniture in their tones affect the entire look of the room? Warm colors are based on yellows and yellowish colors, oranges, browns, greens that include veridian green and olive greens, burgundy red, red orange tones, dark browns, reddish copper and such colors.

Cool Colors

On the other hand, cool colors are based on blue, pink, purples, and light yellows, turquoise, cyan, light greens and such colors. Warm and cool tones or colors create different moods in a room. Warm tones create a severe, and heavy look. They tend to make the room seem a bit smaller. However, designers love these colors for areas such as a library or a study. I personally love the color in a kitchen.

Cool colors on the other hand, are better for use with decorating rooms for youngsters. Cool colors give the area the light and breezy feeling. These colors also make the room seem a bit larger than it is and less severe. Light-hearted and carefree. These cool colors are good conductors or light.
