Hi guys
We are back again with our series on color and how it affects your mood and your space. So without any more delays, lets jump right into it.
Here is a guide to which colors work best in various rooms of your home:
Living room:
This is the area where conversations and discussions are had, whether a chat with the ladies or a family gathering. This is the room that will showcase the rest of your home, thus we suggest that this is the room that needs special attention from the get go. Colors stimulating conversations and the feel of togetherness are, the warmer tones of brown, orange, yellow and earthy beige. The picture at the bottom left showcases this perfectly. The sofas are in a creamy natural linen, brown wooden floors, brown leather ottoman and touches of orange and a variant yellow. Texture is added in the form of the rug and scatters. A touch of green is added to freshen the space.
Kitchen:
Cooking is a act of nurturing. Most fond childhood memories center around cooking or baking. Thus Whites and Blues are best for families with grown up memories. Touches of Reds and Yellows stimulate conversation but can have you eating more, if meals are shared in the kitchen. As depicted below, the walls are white with a gray undertone. There are touches of Orange and Yellow can be seen in the form of a mat, and seat cushions. This also breaks the sterile feel of the White.
Dining rooms
Nobody enjoys meals in silence. Meals are shared with loved ones and is a relaxing time to catch up. The warmer tones of red, stimulate conversations and increases appetites. Add a warm tone of teal to add a little surprise splash to break the tone on tone red.
Next time we’ll discuss the bedroom and bathroom. We’ll look at the colors which work in these areas of your home and why.
We also have an exciting “How to make colors work throughout your home” So check back soon.
