Decorate with color because it sets the mood, draws attention and makes a statement. You can create energy or cool down a room by adding color. The right color scheme will create ambiance, warmth or tranquility. Color could be the most powerful design element if used effectively.
According to the color experts at the Color Marketing Group the top color choices for 2009 are influenced by our hope and optimism for the future.
The three categories of color are: warm, cool and neutral. Warm colors (red, red-orange, yellow-orange and yellow) tend to enclose a space. They can make a room feel cozy. Cool colors (blue, blue-green, violet and blue-violet) are relaxing, restful, soothing and invokes trust. They can make a room appear larger. Neutral colors (gray, white and black) are considered tranquil, livable and supportive. If not used resourcefully neutral colors can evoke the feelings of boredom and weariness.
A little color goes a long way. Whatever you are trying to achieve, do it by adding color.
