Choosing a Color Scheme

Whenever you are building a new home or redecorating a current one, it is important to give some thought to the color scheme for the house. Many people make the mistake of giving very little thought to the colors in their house and end up with rooms that are very cold. Designers, however, know better.

There have been stories for years that suggest that different color palettes in rooms are capable of evoking different emotions. They effectively program a person’s mind whenever a space is entered. In more recent years, scientific studies have proven such claims and have also provided an essential link between our experiences with color and the feelings that make various rooms soar or sink in our minds.

Typically when defining colors, the very basic “warm” and “cool” distinction is made concerning color palettes. The warm palettes are typically made up of various shades and hues of red, orange, and yellow. Warmer palettes are also associated with feelings of intimacy, comfort, and creativity. In addition, they also create energy. This is most likely due to their association with fire.

The cool colors, typically green, blue, and purple, are more frequently associated with feelings of calmness and serenity. They are also associated with open space. These colors are used by designers and homeowners in rooms where there tends to be a lot of stress. They are also good for rooms where there is excessive sunlight.

While understanding these color palettes is a great way to start decorating a new home, it is important to realize that every color comes with its own personality as well.
