Chapter 26 Home Decoration: Let the Magic of Color Come into Life (2)
Color scheme: the color law of home decoration
In general interior design, designers limit the colors used to three.Of course, because professional interior designers are familiar with the deeper color relationship, there may be more than three colors, but generally only one or two more are used.

For the same relatively closed space, the ceiling, wall, floor and furniture should be limited to three colors. The living room and bedroom can have different color schemes, but if the living room and dining room are connected together, then regarded as the same space.

White, black, grey, gold, silver do not count towards the three color limit.Gold and silver can match any color, but gold and silver generally cannot exist at the same time, and only one of them can be used in the same space.

In the case of home color matching without the guidance of a designer, the best color scheme is light walls, middle ground, and deep furniture.Do not use warm colors in the kitchen, except yellow.

It should be noted that do not use dark green floor tiles to put materials of different materials but the same color system together.

If you want to create a bright and modern home environment, don't choose furniture or accessories (except plants) printed with patterns of large and small flowers, and try to use plain designs.

The color of the ceiling must be lighter than or the same color as the walls.When the color of the wall is dark, the ceiling must be light.The color system of the ceiling can only be white or the same color system as the wall.

Spaces that are not enclosed must use the same color scheme.Different enclosed spaces can use different color schemes.

Color selection: choose home decoration color according to the characteristics of the room
Paint color, like all pigment colors, has three characteristics: hue, lightness, and purity.Hue is the name of the color, such as yellow, red, etc.; lightness refers to the relative brightness of the color; purity refers to the relative purity of the color.The basic characteristics of color are the basic characteristics of paint color.

When choosing the color of the paint, the functional requirements and aesthetic requirements should be considered first, and the characteristics of the space form and decoration materials should also be considered. Generally speaking, the living room should choose bright and lively colors; the color of the bedroom should be warmer and softer. The study room should be dominated by elegance and solemnity; the dining room should be dominated by warm colors.

Light colors make people feel light, dark colors make people feel heavy.Usually the color processing of the room is mostly from top to bottom, from light to deep. For example, the ceiling and walls of the room are white and light-colored, the dado is white and light-colored, and the baseboard is dark-colored, which will give people a kind of upper-class feeling. A sense of stability that is light and heavy at the bottom, on the contrary, a deep top and a shallow bottom will give people a sense of depression that is top-heavy.

The room facing east is the earliest to be exposed to sunlight, and also the earliest to have no sunlight, which makes the room darken earlier, so it is often better to use light warm colors.South-facing rooms have the longest sunlight time, and using cool colors often makes people feel more comfortable and the effect of the room is better.Because the west-facing room is affected by the strongest sunset in the day, it is more comfortable to use dark and cool colors.Because there is no direct sunlight in the north-facing room, the color selection should tend to be warmer, and the color should be lighter.

The purpose of the room often determines the effect to be created.The living room should appear bright or warm and cozy, while the dining room can use dark and dark colors.Light colors are always suitable for the kitchen, but be careful with warm colors.Corridors and foyers are just passages and can be used boldly.The style of the bedroom is completely determined by the taste of different people.

Color can change the perception of a room to a certain extent, for example a cool color can make a low ceiling appear taller or a narrow room appear wider.Using a darker shade of color on the far wall of the room will give that wall the effect of moving forward, and so on.

To sum up, the sense of advance and retreat, expansion and contraction of color has the following rules: near warm and far cold, near bright and far gray, near solid and far empty.The physiological and psychological sense of forward and backward, expansion and contraction of color has a great influence on the use of color.If you want to make a small room appear more spacious, you can use a receding color-light blue to paint the walls; in order to make the background of the scene farther away, you can choose a cool color; in order to make the nearby scenery stand out, you can use a warm color.

The magical use of color: use color matching skillfully to make up for "congenital deficiencies"

People perceive different colors differently.The use of color can reshape the space, so that some defects in the room can be made up under the effect of color.

If the room is too narrow and long, you might as well use warm colors on the two short walls and cool colors on the two long walls to make up for this defect.Another way is to have at least one short wall with a darker color of wallpaper than one of the long walls, in a sharp horizontal pattern.This treatment will have the effect of sliding the walls to the sides, thus increasing the visual space of the room.

For rooms with too high ceilings, the visual height of the ceiling should be reduced, and the ceiling can be decorated with warmer and deeper colors than the walls.But it must be noted that the color should not be too dark, so as not to make the ceiling and the wall form too strong a contrast, giving people the illusion of a collapsed roof.

When the ceiling is too low, it is best to use white or a lighter color than the wall to "lift" the ceiling.

If the room is too small or too square, living in this kind of space will always make you feel uncomfortable, and it will also make you feel bad. To change this situation and expand the visual space, you can use the following methods: You can lay non-fancy neutral-colored carpets, The color should not be too dark or too light. Use at least two colors lighter than the carpet on the wall.The ceiling is white, while the door and window frames are the same color as the walls.The floor is laid with a non-fancy carpet, which itself can expand the visual sense of space.The color of the wall is lighter than that of the carpet, and there is a sense of outward movement.Curtains should be in a color coordinated with the color of the wall, while furniture and decorative fabrics must be light and soft.Strong color contrast will make the room appear small and lack a sense of integrity. It is ideal to use a single light color for such a room.

Most modern homes are popular with halls and small rooms. Some people don’t like this pattern. In this case, warm colors can be used to create a more warm and comfortable living room, because warm colors have a sense of inward movement, and the rooms seem closer; Brightly colored large pattern curtains and decorative fabrics can be used to narrow the visual sense of space in the hall.A large, warm, loose-textured rug in a room will enhance its personality.Walls in various shades of peach, apricot and coral will look warm and contrast with wood, doors, frames and windows to effectively divide the space and create a warm atmosphere.

Create a sense of hierarchy: use different colors to create a sense of hierarchy in the living room space

As a living room, the harmony of color relationship comes first. No matter what kind of color scheme is used, the basic effect of harmony must be achieved.But this does not mean dull and monotonous. Contrast is necessary. The main thing is to master the degree of contrast, so that the home will have a sense of hierarchy.If the owners learn the following methods of color matching in the living room, I believe that no matter which one they use, they can make their love nest more livable.

If it is a family of three with children, it is recommended not to use this color.Because most of the wood-colored furniture is very light in color, children often touch it, and it is easy to get dirty. It is very laborious to clean, and some of them cannot be cleaned at all.

Excitement; use red as the main color, and use natural light and shade to create a sense of hierarchy.The golden zenith and the reflective ground make the color and shape reflect each other.In order to avoid excessive stimulation, dark gray and light gray furniture and walls can be used as a buffer in some places.This color scheme is suitable for people with a lively and hospitable personality.

The living room is a space for family group activities. In addition to resting, it is also a place for receiving guests and entertaining people. People stay in it for a relatively long time, so the colors can be brighter and more lively, but it is not suitable to use too strong colors, so as not to confuse people.
