Although the color is what stands out as a feature when it comes to interiors, it’s the merging of architectural topographies with suitable colors that makes interiors pop out. Features such as windows, moldings, mantels, bookcases, arched doorways etc. present a good opportunity to add a unique and different layer of wall color.
Creating color schemes:
For better understanding we’ll classify color schemes on a broader scale as 1.Dark and 2.Light color schemes. In both schemes its best to keep one color as a dominant color and other color as a complement to the main the color you choose.
Dark/ Warm Color Schemes:
• If the rooms are narrow, consider painting the end of the walls in a darker shade. Darker colors tend to regress and blend as a result creating a width in color texture and help scheme light colors better
• If you are considering patterns, know that solid and simple can smudge and help reduce visual weight of the color, while bold patterns add visual weight. It’s like having desert after dinner, a way to finish off the main color
• Wall color can be matching to the furniture to get a theme going; the other way can be done to, painting furniture matching walls
• As far as ceilings are concerned always go for a light color, as your eyes focus will be on the walls and a dark color ceiling can direct the eye back to head level.
• Temperatures effect is very apparent when it comes to color. Dark color attracts heat and light color repels heat to some extent
• Lighting has a profound impact on how color is perceived by our eyes, the use of florescent light tends to be cool while incandescent light brings warmth
