Pop of Colour
Many people will not have the time, money, or the energy to fill their homes with various items and decorations to make them look prettier. One of the most efficient ways to change your house is simply to apply a different coat of color, especially bright
A pop of color is a nice way to make sure that your home looks bright and beautiful and to do so, you need to use bright colors. Some examples of bright colors are ‘Red’ ‘Yellow’ and ‘Orange,’ all of which have high intensity, strong chromatic content and are considered the purest colors on the color wheel. The primary colors in the color wheel are said to be ‘Red’, ‘Yellow’ and ‘Blue.’ Their hues are mixed in order to derive the secondary colors such as ‘Orange’ ‘Violet’ ‘Green’ etc.
A neat trick to pop out the color of a room is to just paint one wall or use a piece of furniture or a decorative piece with bright color. This contrast really works as it changes the focal point of the room without you having to dive into a big redecoration project. In order to make sure this technique works better is to use contrasting colors such as red and green, blue and orange, yellow and violet as they are opposite to each other in the color wheel.
It has been scientifically proven that different colors have differing psychological effects on people. They can alter people’s mood and consequently have a certain impact on people’s productivity. Certain shades of yellow are said to be vibrant and energetic, and bring out joy in some people and also increase their creativity. Blue colors tend to calm a person’s nerves as they have long wavelengths and seem to improve a person’s efficiency and focus due to their calming vibes. Similarly, pink is used in order to calm down aggression and is also seen to be used in some prison cells. Purple, in contrast, is thought to be a royal color and is linked with wealth, prosperity, wisdom, and spiritual awareness.
However, when choosing colors do keep in mind the saying, “Too much of anything is not good.” Occasionally, great deal of bright colors tends to disarray the entire space by disturbing it and thus make it meaningless. Therefore, in order to avoid doing so, you can paint only one wall of the entire room in a bright color and paint the rest of the walls in neutral colors. This will help catch the attention and also highlight the most important elements of the room’s design.
There are a variety of other tips and tricks that you can use to bring out the color in your home. For example, you can combine different moods for an aggressive workout room by using red color, and you can use green in your office room to increase creativity and relaxing vibes, and also add a bit of yellow here and there to inspire optimism. Similarly, you can use pink and blue in rooms used for tranquility such as in the meditation or yoga room, use orange for an asthmatic child’s room or a sick room, use complex colors in order to appeal to a highly educated crowd, or use simple colors to appeal to others. Last but not the least, you can produce an illusion of a huge space through the use of bright and vibrant colors. However, try not to use the common color white for this purpose as it is not as effective as tinted colors.
Thus, before choosing a color scheme for your house, it is recommended that you do a bit of research on how you want the colors to make you feel. If you want a cheerful and enthusiastic house, you may want to opt for bright colors as they are said to brighten up the resident mood with happiness and tend to increase their creativity and potential for innovation.
