Color is all around us and affects us in many different ways. Adding color to a design can strongly influence the feeling of the room.
There are three types of colors: warm colors, cool colors & neutrals.
The WARM COLORS, red, orange & yellow are energetic.
COOL COLORS have the opposite effect. Blue, green and purple are calming.
NEUTRALS are typically used as a background color. They help balance the more vibrant colors.
Here are some color interpretations to help you create the mood you want in each room of your home.
