Such sensations have been embedded in human consciousness since ancient times and cause both pleasant and negative sensations.

Before starting the renovation, it is worth deciding what color scheme the room will belong to. Below are the properties of different colors:
• Green – life, peace, home, pessimism, stability.
• Orange – warmth, positive charge.
• Purple – gloom, soundlessness, love, mystery, coolness.
• White – stability, growth, silence, sea breeze, sleep, neatness.
• Black – severity, gloom, indifference, invincibility, heavy burden.
• Gray – muted radiance, fresh look, peace, pedantry.
• Red – passion, burden, anxiety, heat, growth.
• Blue – mystery, cold, pessimism, distance, depth.
• Yellow – lightness, warmth, happiness, radiance, approach.

3. Mixed – a combination of plain and contrasting.
