Colors are often associated with specific emotions and influences, although these perceptions can be somewhat subjective and vary according to personal preferences. Nevertheless, the colors of a space are proven to have the ability to affect human behavior, emotions, and the psychological state of every person who encounters them in their environment. Below, we will see the reactions and sensations caused by the colors we choose, as well as the ideal color choices for every room in your house.
White: It is the color of purity, cleanliness, and simplicity. It is suitable for small spaces and spaces that are not adequately lit as with white, beige, or cream, the area will appear larger, brighter, and more pleasant. It is one of the most easily combinable colors as it encompasses all other colors within it and therefore matches everything. On the downside, it gets dirty easily and if the space lacks some warmer elements in combination, it can make the room appear stark and unwelcoming.
Red: This is possibly the most intense color, associated with feelings such as passion, energy, and love, but also with negative emotions like anger. Like all “warm” colors, red is considered ideal for spaces where many people gather, and for rooms with high traffic, such as the living room living room, as it stimulates energy and mood. It is not recommended for the kitchen space as it can increase “mobility” due to the sense of familiarity it induces. It could also be used on small surfaces and as decor within the space for those who find it too intense, simply to create small focal points.
Yellow: Considered the happiest color, it is capable of triggering all positive and optimistic emotions. It represents creativity and spirituality and is also known as the color of friendship. Yellow helps in seeking inspiration, which is why it is often chosen in professional spaces as it is ideal for “clearing” the mind, boosting mood, and aiding concentration. As it is a warm color, it could also be used in a kitchen to induce a conversational mood during meal times, and to stimulate energy within the space.
Blue: Considered the most beloved color by both men and women, it also represents seriousness and luxury. A space where it is used exudes tranquility and calmness, but it requires caution as certain shades can create a melancholic atmosphere in the room. In this case, you can dare to use furniture or decorations in contrasting colors that will add the spark and vivacity that might be missing from the space. It is recommended for use in entryways as well as bedrooms due to its soothing property.
Green: It is the color of nature, symbolizing renewal, tranquility, and harmony, and is a suitable color for relaxation spaces. Like all “cool” colors, it is ideal for bedrooms or living rooms and in rooms where you want to convey a sense of calmness and balance. As an earthy color, green also inspires a feeling of safety, while depending on its shade, it can give a completely different sensation to the space. It is considered to express relaxation and comfort in lighter shades and dignity and vitality in darker shades.
Black: It is the most elegant and formal color. It is an ideal choice to create contrast and intensity in a space, although it is best not to be used on very large surfaces as it has the property to absorb light. Due to this property, if used excessively, it may deprive the space of a sense of spaciousness. It can be applied in any room of the house and can create a very broad effect from classic to very modern depending on how you combine it.
The most important thing to consider before choosing the color combinations for each room is the intended use for each room and the feeling you want it to provide. Remember that this is your personal space and you should create it exactly as you and your loved ones desire.
