Color and Interior Design
Recently, I’ve been fascinated by color. Both in it’s presence, as well as it’s absence. I enjoy being able to analyze the emotional response of myself and others to certain hues, and color schemes. One fun application for color theory analysis is looking at interior designs. I’ve found that because interior design works with our surroundings, it seems to have more of an emotional effect on a person. A parallel would be listening to music through headphones versus listening to music in a orchestra hall. -The music can have a more emotional effect on a person because it surrounds your audible “field of view”. By learning to analyze color, you can begin to “compose” a certain feel that you would desire for that room.
In the above picture, using wood and yellow tints on the walls gives a warm feel to the room.
The green plants, dark wood floors and big windows give a natural and clean earthly feel, while the white walls add to the purity and clean look. The sum results in a feeling of happiness, cleanliness and freedom.
