When it comes to choosing the colours of the walls in your home you should bear in mind not only your personal taste, but also the fact that the colour you eventually select could influence the sensations emitted by said room. Here is a quick run through the decorative effect of each colour and how it could influence your mood:
- Yellow: this is a primary colour, one of the most vital and welcoming available, and also one of the most versatile since it brightens up dark rooms with little natural light. It is synonymous with happiness and brilliance, produces optimism and vitality, but also prompts nervousness if you are of the anxious type.
- Red: this colour has one of the widest varieties of shades, which range from deep red vermilion, one of the most vital and aggressive, to raspberry or pale pink, which transmit serenity and purity. The most intense colours, if used excessively or in small rooms can cause uneasiness and aggressiveness.
- Blue: Generally speaking, this is a cold colour that brings calm and relaxation in the rooms painted a shade of blue. The range of colours combines well with rustic and oak furniture and contrasts well with white. It favours rest and study. The most intense shades, such as navy blue bring vitality to large, luminous spaces.
- Green: is the most versatile secondary colour, thank to its wide range of shades, which arc similar to blue or yellow, the primary colours of which it is composed. It prompts calm and aids relaxation but is also a young and carefree colour. It produces a comforting feeling, since it reminds you of nature.
- Grey: represents docility, patients and conformity. If applied correctly it helps to calm you down, which is why it is increasingly used in children's bedrooms combined with white and the colour of natural wood. People of a depressive nature should avoid this colour when decorating their home.
- Beige and ochre: ideal for small spaces because they add colour without being oppressive. These are calming colours, synonymous of the earth, delicate, measured and balanced. They combine well with deeper shades of the same colour range.
