The right color choices will add personality to your room
Some people have a hard time figuring out which colors to use in the fabrics or floor coverings in a room. One way to narrow down your choices is to consider what mood you want to portray in the room. Different colors have different effects on our personalities and the way we feel. Here are some examples of the effects of color on our daily lives:
Red: A very powerful color. It represents passion, love, danger and anger. Be careful how you use red. It makes a great accent color if used in in splashes.
Blue: A calming color that is widely recognized as being easy to decorate and live with. It represents formality, dignity, coolness, the sky, water, truth, serenity and spaciousness.
Orange: A fun color to use. I represents warmth, energy, friendliness, youthfulness and cheerfulness.
Yellow: Another warm color. It represents sunlight, cheerfulness, youthfulness and sympathy. Be careful how this color is used, as it will make a statement. It is fun to use with blue because it warms the blues up and does not make them feel as cold.
Violet: This color can project dignity, royalty, justice, wisdom, suffering and depression. Again, be careful how this dynamic color is used. It makes a great accent color.
Green: This color is also well-accepted as it appears in nature. It represents life, restfulness and friendliness.
White: Represents cleanliness, purity, innocence, joy and coolness.
Gold: A powerful color that represents royalty, riches, the sun, joy and luxury.
Pink: A soft color; feminine and pleasureful.
Brown: Represents the earth, warmth and comfort. No wonder so many of our agricultural customers love it.
Gray: Represents fatigue, inferiority and age. But it is amazing that the baby-boomer crowd is really buying a lot of cars in this color.
Black: This color can be representational of sophistication, strength, evil, death and darkness.
These are some of the effects of color. It is fun to experiment: That the blue sofa will definitely give a room a more traditional feel than the brown one. On the other hand, the brown sofa will make someone feel very much at home in the family room. Try mixing colors for different effects. And most of all, have fun with it.
