Sundays with Ydp-How important is choosing the right colors?
Do you ever walk into a room and it just feels all wrong?
You find yourself passing by the room because it’s not inviting
Perhaps it’s off balance, or not furnished with comfortable seating
Maybe you haven’t had time to give it the attention it needs
Perhaps it’s very well appointed, and furnished beautifully…but something is just off.
Well, It could come down to C O L O R
Yep it could be that simple.
Color is something that is immensely integral and so important to a design plan, that you want to get it right.
- You want color harmony from room to room
- You want your wall colors to enhance your furnishings and not compete with them.
- You want the right color temperatures, like cool or warm.
- And the right color saturation, like light or deep, soft or bold.
- You also want colors that make you feel something, because colors can be both stimulating and calming.
So how do you choose well?
Paint sites and apps offer guidance in these areas. I listed some in a previous post click here to reference them
Understanding the color wheel can steer you in the right direction
And last but not least, leaning on mother nature for her clues is an incredible resource.
The image below is a perfect example of how mother nature can be an inspiration…The wave below could easily be interpreted as a color palette for one room or many. It is an analogous palette which could offer good flow from room to room, rather than jarring juxtapositions.
