    grin ~ Importance of Colours ~

    "I wonder if any element of interior design is more personal than color. Nothing can more quickly reveal aspect of personality and character than the choice - or absence - of color." (Van Day Truex, Interiors, Character, and Color)

    Colors are undoubtedly the most effective element in the interior designing criteria. They have power to create any scenario and to change the attitude and moods. Since last few years trends in the interior designing are changing. People are using different colors to decorate their homes.

    Different colors have different impacts and moods. Colors like red, orange or yellow are tend to be more energetic, vibrant, and bold. Usually people use these colors in the dinning areas as they increase the appetite.

    Different shades of blue, green and purple are considered as the soothing and cool colors. These are selected for the bedrooms, living rooms and common rooms.

    Apart from all the colors, neutral colors are always considered best choice. These are the earthy tones, shades of white and all other light hues. Neutrals are a great choice for interiors, because they're comfortable, yet elegant and understated. Their subtlety makes them versatile, simple to use, and very easy to live with.

    Decorating a room with light, neutral shades, without much contrast, can help to make a small room appear much more spacious and airy. Using deeper neutrals for the main wall color, or adding more contrast, can make a large room appear more intimate and cozy.

    Neutral color schemes work well with furnishings from all time period. Contemporary, traditional, and even period furnishings all look at home with neutrals.

    To avoid having an all-neutral scheme look bland, make sure to use a variety of different values (light to dark) and different patterns and textures, to give the room visual interest.

    Just as neutrals can calm a colorful scheme, color can enliven a neutral scheme. Use colorful accents to bring unexpected "punches" of color to a neutral room, or use color to highlight an interesting architectural feature, or bring attention to a focal wall, in an otherwise neutral setting

    For the exterior of your home, using a neutral color scheme is probably the safest choice you can make. Neutrals blend with the environment, and are tasteful and timeless, giving them long-lasting appeal.

    Neutrals harmonize with nature—like sandy beiges, stony taupe's, and wood-like browns—helping to integrate the home with the natural landscape.

    The selection of colors for interior and exterior designing should be made according to the space, location, and other concerned factors.
