Understanding Phychological Impacts Of Colours In The House

One aspect of interior design that matters the most is colour theory. While the difference between one shade and the other may seem subtle, the physiological effect can be significant.

The idea of adding a certain colour or a combination of colours can simply change your mood by creating optical illusion and making it smaller or bigger. The colour wheel provides usual representation of 12 basic colours. These include primary colours, secondary colours and tertiary colours. Using this colour wheel, the designers follow the strategies for creating balanced rooms. Bright colours are used to make a room look bigger, and simultaneously a lighter carefree mood. Meanwhile, dark colours make a room look smaller.

Different colours create different moods in your home and communicate diverse feelings such as excitement, passion, serenity and mystery. By understanding colour theory in interiors you can create just the right mood you are looking for. It is important to note that each colour has a different impact on different people.

Many factors can also influence, including one's age, race, culture as well as life’s experiences.
