When painting a property, it is important to understand how colors impact the perception of the space; accurate perception of each space and the way residents feel in it
After a few years, you notice that the walls in some rooms in your house are worn and peeling. So, recognize that the time has come to renew the painting of these environments.
Colors can give this feeling. However, care must be taken when choosing them, as they directly impact the perception that people will have regarding the space and the level of comfort and warmth they will feel in them, in addition to the emotional effects of that color and the use made in that environment. Beyond the apps for testing colorshere are some tips for choosing the colors for your home!
Perception of spatial dimensions
Colors can make a space feel wider or tighter. To provide a feeling of spaciousness to the room, it is best to use light colors on most surfaces, as they reflect natural light and give the impression that the space is larger.
On the other hand, stronger tones are a good choice when the aim is to compact the space. Such colors absorb most of the natural light, making the room feel smaller.
Another possible effect from the chosen colors is the elongation of the environment. To achieve this, it is recommended to paint the walls in darker tones and the ceiling in white.
To create a feeling of proximity, it is recommended to leave the background wall in dark tones, contrasting with the other walls in lighter tones. Finally, to make a room narrower, you need to paint two opposite sides with a stronger tone and leave the back wall and ceiling in light colors.
Depending on the room in question, it is possible to highlight a single wall — as is the case with walls with pictures, photos and other decorative objects, in the bedroom or living room. To do this, keep this wall in a color that stands out compared to the tone of the other walls.
Colors and emotions
Colors also significantly affect the feelings each person feels when being in a room. Warm tones (such as yellow, orange and red) are best suited to creating a personal and happy space, and are recommended for busier environments with a lot of movement of people (like the living room or balcony, for example).
Cold colors (blue, green, purple) are usually more recommended for calmer and quieter rooms, where concentration and organization are more required. Therefore, these shades are best suited for bedrooms and offices.
Finally, neutral colors (white, cream and the like) are recommended for spaces such as bathrooms and kitchens, and can be combined more easily with other tones to create different effects.
The effect of each color
White is the most used neutral color, as it conveys a feeling of spaciousness and tranquility. This tone helps to make spaces well lit and wider, increasing the feeling of clarity.
Green is generally associated with nature, being great for open areas such as balconies and gardens. This color helps reduce anxiety and promote a feeling of relaxation.
Blue, on the other hand, conveys calm, being great for the bedroom and can help residents relax right before bed. For offices, this is a sober and good color to help maintain concentration.
Purple gives a feeling of mystery and sensuality. Finally, warm colors are associated with passion and intense sensations (red), as well as energy and good mood (orange), joy and happiness (yellow).
