How to choose a color for each room in the apartment

Very often, the common room is a favorite place to relax and socialize; people watch TV, listen to music, and do many other similar things.

When choosing the color of such a room, these circumstances must be taken into account.

The general background of the walls should preferably be rich, with a fairly bright pattern, the size of which depends on the size of the room. Why, says Yulia Tychino .

The explanation is quite simple - bright colors (crimson, red-brown, green-brown, dark green, ocher and golden) create and maintain a good, upbeat mood.

Lilac, blue, light blue colors and their shades are undesirable - in the evening, when there is a lack of light, they turn gray and look extremely inexpressive.

It is preferable to paint the walls of offices in green or brown tones, which greatly contributes to calmness and creates a working mood.

If the windows of the children's room face south, southeast, east, then a good solution would be light lilac, light blue and similar tones.

The kitchen, often the dining room, should undoubtedly be neat and bright. Nowadays, the kitchen interior quite often features a color scheme expressed in the play of contrasts, the color ratio of furniture and equipment.

White stove, kitchen cabinet, refrigerator - bright floor, saturated color walls. It also happens the other way around - white walls, sink, stove, and colored cabinets.

Kitchen utensils, ceramics, and dishes play a significant role in choosing the color scheme for the kitchen.

Greenish and blue tones are very suitable for the bedroom. In one-room and two-room apartments, where very often due to the lack of space it is necessary to combine the sleeping place with the place for work (study), such a color scheme will also be appropriate.

The level of illumination of the premises during painting works must also be taken into account. How?

We paint rooms facing north in warm colours (light orange, golden yellow, light beige, ocher), and rooms with windows facing south in cold colours (greenish-blue, light blue and similar colours).

When choosing a color, we cannot ignore the size of the room being furnished. Cold tones, shades (violet, blue, light green) visually seem further away than they actually are.

They should be used if we want the room to seem more spacious. But orange, yellow, red tones create a visual illusion of decreasing the size of the rooms painted in them.

Knowing these qualities of different colors, you can quite successfully visually improve the proportions of rooms.

For example, we have a room with a very high ceiling. We paint the walls a cold color, the ceiling a warm color. What does this give us? The height of the room has visually decreased.
