Picasso Painting and
Remodeling: Pick a color for
your rooms that defines you
Picasso Painting and
Remodeling
The colors of the rooms in your
home are a direct reflection of
your personality. While most of us
may not spend a lot of time
thinking about room color, it
affects us every day. Room color
can influence our moods and our
thoughts.
Color affects people in many ways,
depending on age, gender, ethnic
background and climate. Certain
colors (or groups of colors) tend to get
a similar reaction from most people;
the variations come from the shades
or tones used. This is why it’s so
important to choose colors wisely
when it comes to decorating.
Choosing color combinations is one of
the most intimidating steps for
beginners. Color has the power to
change the shape and size of
furnishings, as well as the shape and
size of the room itself. Selecting
colors is not difficult if you equip
yourself with some basic information
about color and its effects.
Colors act in three basic ways: active,
passive and neutral. You can easily
match every room’s colors to your
personal desires, to your taste and to the
room’s purpose. Light colors are
expansive and airy, making rooms seem
larger and brighter. Dark colors are
sophisticated and warm; they give large
rooms a more intimate appearance.
Red raises a room’s energy level. The
most intense color, it pumps the
adrenaline like no other hue. It is a
good choice when you want to stir up
excitement, particularly at night. In
the living room or dining room, red
draws people together and stimulates
conversation. In an entryway, it
creates a strong first impression.
Yellow captures the joy of sunshine
and communicates happiness. It is an
excellent choice for kitchens, dining
rooms and bathrooms, where it
is energizing and uplifting. In halls,
entries and small spaces, yellow can
feel expansive and welcoming.
Blue is said to bring down blood
pressure and slow respiration and
heart rate. That is why it is
considered calming, relaxing and
serene, and it is often
recommended for bedrooms and
bathrooms.
Green is considered the most restful
color for the eye. Combining the
refreshing quality of blue and the
cheerfulness of yellow, green is suited for
almost any room on the house. In the
kitchen, green cools things down; in a
family room or living room, it
encourages unwinding but has enough
warmth to promote comfort and
togetherness.
Purple, in its darkest values (eggplant,
for example), is rich, dramatic and
sophisticated. It is associated with
luxury and creativity; as an accent or
secondary color, it gives a scheme depth.
Lighter versions of purple, such as
lavender and lilac, bring the same restful
quality to bedrooms as blue does, but
without the risk of feeling chilly.
Orange evokes excitement and
enthusiasm, and is an energetic color.
While not a good idea for a living room
or for bedrooms, this color is great for an
exercise room; it will bring out all the
emotions that you need released during
your fitness routine. In ancient cultures,
orange was believed to heal the lungs
and increase energy levels.
Neutrals (black, gray,
white and brown) are basic to
the decorator’s tool kit. All-
neutral schemes fall in and out of
fashion, but their virtue lies in
their flexibility: Add color to liven
things up; subtract it to calm
things down.
Black is best used in small doses as an
accent. Indeed, some experts
maintain that every room needs a
touch of black to ground the color
scheme and give it depth. To make the
job easier, rely on the interior
designer’s most important color tool:
the color wheel.
Crimson can make some people feel
irritable. Invoking feelings of rage and
hostility, this is a color that should be
avoided as the main color of a room.
Sitting for long periods of time in a
room painted in this color will likely
affect the peace and harmony you are
striving to create in your home.
Finding a color that sets the
atmosphere is the best thing you
could do for your home! Once you
find the color that defines you
