The Psychology of RED Color

Choose Wisely

Keep in mind that each color has a psychological value. Think about how certain colors make you feel; they can influence any emotion, from tranquility to rage. To create peace and harmony in your home, choose your colors wisely; some colors in large amounts might have the opposite effect on you and your loved ones.

What mood do you want to create? Which colors will help you achieve that mood.

Once you find something you like, limit the number of colors in a room to no more than three or four. Too many colors can make a room look busy or cluttered. Paint is fairly inexpensive and transforms a room more quickly than anything else, so you can afford to experiment a little.

Room Colors and Their Effects

Colors act in three basic ways: active, passive and neutral. You can easily match every room’s colors to your personal desires, to your taste and to the room’s purpose. Light colors are expansive and airy, making rooms seem larger and brighter. Dark colors are sophisticated and warm; they give large rooms a more intimate appearance.

Let’s take a closer look at colors and learn what they can do to a room.

Red raises a room’s energy level. The most intense color, it pumps the adrenaline like no other hue. It is a good choice when you want to stir up excitement, particularly at night. In the living room or dining room, red draws people together and stimulates conversation. It exudes grace and elegance and calls the eye. In an entryway, it creates a strong first impression.

Red has been shown to raise blood pressure and speed respiration and heart rate. It is usually considered too stimulating for bedrooms, but if you’re typically in the room only after dark, you’ll be seeing it mostly by lamplight, when the color will appear muted, rich and elegant.

You may want to check the amount of red in put in. A look at these designs by Haven Homes, shows perfectly Red can be combined with other shades to create a soothing balance and beauty.

This beautiful kitchen designed by www.havenhomes.com has White as the Primary color, with Red as the secondary color. This way, the white opens up the space, and also tones down the closing effect, the red may have in the kitchen,  enhancing the feel of the whole schemes  to create a" tuch" kitchen. 

This rest room closes you in, its choking of air, and except its for a bar, where the faster you use the rest room the better, it fits nothing else. Red tiles in a little room like this, is a write off. The matter was made worse with a black wash basin. The mirror that would have enhanced the space, stood no chance with all the noise. I bet you will have a headache, if you stay in this rest room for more than 5 minutes. This is not the kind of rest room you want to be pressing your phone inside, and its totally unacceptable in a home unless of course by special demand.
