Professional Ideas For The Utilization Of Purpose-Driven Decor
The single most successful advertising campaign of all time partly relied on color. At the time, Philip Morris had a problem with Marlboro, a woman’s brand of cigarettes. Philip Morris turned the issue over to motivation research experts who decided that the cigarette pack should have a splash of red. The rest is history.
If any, this confirms what practically everyone knows about color: it has a distinct effect on man, and helps man shape his opinions of things. This means that most people who want to do-it-themselves can achieve their purpose in any room as long as the person has the know-how.
Colors are either cool or warm.
Blues are cool. Reds and yellows are warm. Red hues cause excitement and make people want to move around. Blues have the ability to create a relaxed feeling. People seem to work best when surrounded by blues, although too strong or too much of it can become too depressingly heavy. The color alone can make a person feel warm or cold in a room, even if the ambient temperature remains the same.
Color preferences.
Red is the most popular color. Deep, purplish red or magenta is popular with girls and women. Red-orange is a popular choice among men and boys. Next is the color blue. Women like it in turquoise, men like it deep. Most people are drawn to large areas of delicate or soft colors with small spots of brilliant color. That explains why pristine beach scenes always appeal to people.
The best color combination comes in complementary pairs.
Blue and orange, for instance, have the same waves as white light and come as a balance of warm and cool, and, as such, do not strain the eyes. Have one of the colors light, the other dark – they work best that way. Try to avoid saturated hues – they can sometimes be unpleasant.
Every hue has a family and a mate.
The mate is the complementary hue. The shades, tints, and tones resulting from the marrying of the complementary hues are the family. Green-blue mixed with white or gray with orange accents is recommended for walls. For instance, you might consider a vermilion floral wall art. Brown or beige furniture looks best with this color scheme. Even if you put in a metal wall grille, it’d still look good.
Let the room’s purpose decide its color.
Soft tones and tints that bring about a soothing and soft feeling are ideal for the bedroom. For the living room, have something more dramatic: contrasting colors and more color accents. For the baby’s room, have saturated bright colors—babies see only brilliant light. You might have a pair of vermilion floral wall decorations here to pull together your living room and baby’s room.
Let the room’s orientation decide its color.
Avoid using colors like peach or yellow if the room has windows that face the east. Don’t use blue, if the room has only a north facing window. Generally, a room with poor light should take a light color; otherwise, it can take a deep color. Ceilings are normally painted white to reflect light into the room. Keep in mind that if you cannot alter your wall color, you can always add color and personality with the addition of a beautiful fish metal art, traditional painting, wall tapestries or any other wall accent from your favorite wall decor site or store.
