Do you know how to increase the area of the small room with the help of color. 5 design techniques
Good afternoon dear friends!
Colour - a great tool able to help you create a sense of space, the illusion of depth (literally push the wall), and increase the height of the ceiling. You ask how? Easy!
Just need to create the visual illusion of playing with color palette! At the same time, without making heavy, expensive and require a lot of time of construction, you can correct the aesthetic and structural disadvantages of small spaces by changing their perception. Just do not forget about the evolution of light during the day (morning and night) for the choice of cold or warm colors. So today I picked up 5 design techniques that will help increase the volume of the space and give your small room.
Not to mention the fact that with the help of "Tasty" colors will be able to fill the 'life', new emotions and of course to give the space style throughout your home. In general, the paint - this is your ally!
1.Create a visual illusion. You have to remember that cool colors (purple, greenBlue) are called "fleeting", and that they help to create the illusion of space. While, warm colors bring to the interior comfort, envelop the room while creating a "cocoon effect." Another way increase the space - a horizontal strip that visually "pushing" the wall. It is preferable to use a combination with a fairly clean perfectly matched shades, for example - white and almond.
Another technique - dark floor. Painted concrete floors, dark carpet, Tiles or flooring will give your room is not only nature, but also create a contrast of light wall decor.
2."Raise" or "lower" the ceiling. The feeling of comfort, which should occur spontaneously upon entering the room depends on a number of criteria, including - style interior, room temperature, lighting, color palette, and of course the height ceiling. The low ceiling creates an unpleasant feeling, is not it? And to remedy this shortcoming, it is possible to play with color, thus emphasize or conversely to minimize the verticality of the room. For example, in the case of a low ceiling - create a visual illusion using vertical stripes. It is desirable to apply them only at the surface of the walls, leaving the ceiling intact.
If you have a high ceilingThen paint it a dark color to provide more privacy (important for the bedroom), and reduce the height.
3.Bring accents. Due to the color palette, you can focus on moldings, Niches and other elements, thereby to qualitatively improve the interior of the apartment as a whole, or vice versa to disguise them. So if you want to bring the focus to the interior color selected decorative element in a highly contrasting color (light-colored walls and a darker color to give depth; light tone and the dark walls - to achieve the opposite effect). Bold, "tasty" colors always give the interior a lightness and dynamism. Do you want to subtly emphasize their use slightly lighter tone of the walls.
If you prefer to forget about them, then paint in the same color as the rest of the walls and rooms.
4.Add light and color. Light (natural or artificial) is an essential element in creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere in the room, especially when the bright colors used in it. But keep in mind that the daily natural light is not always "stable", as it depends on the time of day, year, and orientation (north, south ...). It is therefore necessary to rely on other light sources (Lamps, floor lamps, wall lamps, etc), and to vary them in order to obtain optimum lighting of the room. And so, if you have the windows oriented to the north - add heat to the interior of the room with the help of yellow or orange. If you want to "sublimate" soft lighting, use paler shades - gray, light blue ...
To the south, you should not bet on too bright colors or pure white as the light warms the atmosphere almost continuously!
West - daylight permeates the room from the middle of the day and the evening, so it's best to avoid bright and saturated colors, preferably - the natural and reasonable. If the windows are located to the east, the more advantageous will look warm and soft tones.
Do not forget curtainsand curtains, as they filter the light and change its brightness!
5.Change sense of space. Sometimes even a full repair can not change the situation. Those. too low ceiling can not be "elevated", and narrow room - increased (unless you disassemble a common wall with the adjacent room). The idea is to change the visual perception that we have there at the entrance to the room. It is therefore necessary to create a sense of depth and focus on new unexpected side of your space.
It is wise to use your favorite color. Since this is a "very personal choice" that invariably comes to a key element of your life - at home! By the way, White color - is not a panacea for small spaces. Use shades that really have the properties of "push" the wall and make the space more "air."
