Colouring Rooms
Admit it... You miss me blogging some random stuffs here... Well, since Chinese New Year is coming, you might wanna consider repainting your house. What's better way than to blog about it. There are about 20 tips on painting that new colour to that wall of yours. Trust me, colour is a powerful tool that is able to inspire emotions, making space illusions (like magic...) or even set the atmosphere for that particular room. Try some of these...
1) Bright colours to create illusion of space. Have a small house? Afraid of people might get too close for comfort when there's party? Try some bright and vibrant colours like yellows or eggshells to make your home look larger than it really is. Note: Although the common white colour is helpful, but it is not as effective as tinted colours.
2) For study rooms, try not to put colours that are too bright. Colours that are too bright sometimes blind the eyes of the person studying. Also try avoiding colours that are too dull like navy blue or dark grey. Try something like pearl white or forest green. Green is really a good colour for studying (but remember avoid bright colours like lime green or yellow green). Green is also a good colour for work place.
3) For places you wanna have your food, normally you go with red. As you might see nowadays refrigerator comes in 3 distinct colours - black, grey or red. Why red? Red is the colour where you can build your appetite on. When you see spicy food, you get that feeling of saliva coming out from your tongue, this is the psychology played on your mind. Note: Avoid hot red if you have high blood pressure.
4) Use colours of the past. Many colours consultants will tell you that using familiar colours from your childhood that remind you of fond memories (especially in the kitchen) will help bring those memories back and create pleasant mood. This is particularly good when you move into a new place that is far away from your home by making you feel at home.
5) Use relaxing colours in rooms like bedroom or bathroom. Cool colours like blue, green or lavender can calm yourself in your escape rooms. Cool colours can also create a relaxing atmosphere. (That is why you don't put blue in study rooms, it reduces productivity). You may also consider this blend of colours (except lavender, pink or purple) on your workout room as well.
6) Purple signifies wealth and romanticism. Although purple is a very hard mix into your home decor, it is very sooting for you to get a shut eye or when you come home from work.
7) Blend brown for that natural look. If you love to look of wood or leather, try incorporate this earthy natural look into any room of your house. Adding some brown can amplify the appearance. However, brown room can sometimes cause depression in some people.
8) Pink for tranquility. You can use this for meditation or yoga room if your house is big enough for rooms like this. Some sports teams actually paint the away team's locker room pink as it has been shown to cause a lack of energy (Bet you didn't know this huh??)
9) White for bathrooms. White is the symbol for fertility and cleanliness. There's a reason bathrooms fixtures are usually white. It is easier to clean them. Knowing that the bathroom is clean and fresh with lovely white paint can put your mind at ease.
10) Last but not least, my favorite colour - Orange. Orange is good for lively living room as it is often associated with improved lung function as well as increased energy. Putting it in living room actually promotes healthy living. A mild orange can be very helpful to those recovering from illness or with lung problems.
