Color Psychology And Home Design Tips

It is useful to evaluate color psychology as it applies to decorating a property. Each color generates specific emotions. It may also alter how big or small a space appears. Ultimately, it can affect a property’s resale value. Below, we will cover color psychology and home design tips.

Color Psychology

Colors not only have unique meanings, but they also commonly produce particular emotions. There may be some cultural interpretations that differ from this.

  • Red: Passion and Drama
  • Purple: Luxurious and Wise
  • Yellow: Cheer and Friendliness
  • Blue: Calmness and Tranquility
  • Pink: Beautiful and Hopeful
  • Green: Optimistic and Nurturing
  • Gray: Unemotional and Mature
  • Black: Formal and Intimidating

Spacial Impact of Colors

The shade of a color can affect the feel of a space. Light shades commonly make a space feel brighter and spacious. This is desirable for cramped rooms. Dark hues make a room seem smaller. It can be used to make a spacious space feel less empty. One may also incorporate dark and light colors to focus on specific parts of a space.

Color Home Design Tips

Before finalizing colors for a property, consider the space of each room and its intended use. What mood do you wish to set? This may change for every room in the home. Imagine how one room will transition to the next. All of this is critical not just for your personal needs, but it can also dictate how subsequent buyers may feel when they view your home. Others should be able to picture their own property in the space, so it is best to avoid extreme color schemes when it is time to market a home. Keeping resale in mind is one of the most important home design tips. If you find it difficult picking colors while taking into account color psychology and the furnishings that you have to work with, you may obtain help from an interior decorator.

Chris Graves

I grew up in Massachusetts, spent the majority of my young adult life in Boston, and own a home in Windham NH. I have owned properties in MA and NH. I specialize in mortgage lending in Massachusetts and New Hampshire and my company does have the ability to lend in other states. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst Massachusetts in 2002. I have a Bachelor’s in Science. In addition to managing a team of loan officers my personal loan production is always in the top of the entire of company. I have personally been in the mortgage business for over 13 years. I pride myself with taking my clients from application to close in the smoothest and quickest way possible, while keeping them well informed during the entire process. I originate my own loans from start to finish and work hand in hand with my loan processors & underwriters to make sure I am updated to the minute with all of my files. I stay up to date with lending guidelines and speak with underwriters on a daily basis to ensure I am aware of all of the lending guidelines in place.
