The Emotion of Color

Our home is a metaphor for our lives. The color we choose to fill it with defines the very essence of the people living there. Discovering the perfect color is an important process but it doesnt have to be an intimidating one. Once you have identified the feeling you wish to create in each room, the color should reflect that emotional hue. Hence, the term "color psychology". Warm colors can be lively (reds, yellows) or add cozy intimacy (deep greens, chocolate browns). On the other hand, the cool tones can give a calm, relaxing feeling (soft blues, grays or quiet pinks) and can add spaciousness to tinier spaces. Uncomplicated schemes create a sense of serenity. More complex palattes are more dramatic and intoxicating. Colors can accentuate, add interest or even make what we dont want to see fade away behind the mask of color. When utilized well, color can be whatever we need it or want it to be!
