The color that
you use for wall, carpets, furniture or just any room has the power make or
break the decor thus choosing the right sort of color is highly important.
Bold colors are chosen to create accents or add character while soft colors
are used to brighten up an area, make it spacious and play up the lighting.
Here are a few things you must consider before selecting upon a color choice:
Focal Points

Focal points are
necessary to draw attention in a room they can be a large wall canvas picture that makes a statement, a gorgeous piece of rug
or a stunning wall colour. If you already have a focal point such as a bold
lamp or picture then make it stand out by giving the wall behind a light coat
of colour. You can paint a room’s architectural features such as mouldings in a
bold, contrasting colour to make them focal points or you could even add paint
effects to a wall. Painting just one wall or a ceiling a bold colour can also
really draw the eye.
Creating Unity
Unity must be
consistent through a room of if you live in a small house, then throughout the
house and the best way to achieve this is by the use of colour. To unify rooms
together one wall can be painted a colour such as orange, another room can have
an orange rug while a third room can be decorated by cheap canvas prints on the wall! To create unity in a room
different shade of the same colour can be used such as dark blue cushions for
the couch while a blue and red printed curtain along with sky blue pictures on
the wall etc.
Altering Room Orientations
Altering Room Orientations
Believe it or
not but colour can effectively be used to alter the way a room looks by
creating an illusion. Light and dark shades of colours used appropriately and
on the right walls can actually change how the way a room looks. If your
ceiling is too high for example then apply a dark shade on it, if it is too low
then colour it with a light shade.
A narrow room can be made wider by darkening the short walls and lightening the darker ones white the opposite can be done to narrow a very wide room. Small rooms can also be made large by using light colors which will give a spacious and airy to the rooms while dark colors will only feel suffocating, of course colors can be used for decor but only in small amounts to add accents.
