The Impact of Color!!

The impact of color in a room's design is critical. Choose the wrong color, and your design will fail! May seem like a simple statement, but color is that significant in a room's design. As a certified color specialist, I have done a tremendous amount of color consultation. Many times my clients will pick the wrong level of saturation (intensity),  rather then choosing the wrong color!! This is where a color specialist can help.

In today's market, I am seeing bright colors being painted on walls. Many of my clients are tired of beiges, and want a change. Colors can dominant a room. Cool colors are striking and intense. Warm colors tend to be calm and soothing.


Cool  colors are especially popular among children and young teens. They love the vibrant colors!!


Adults tend to gravitate towards warmer colors.










As you can see, colors are being used in room designs. And when you choose the right colors, like this photo shown below, you can see how well it works. This design uses a warm color palette. Works beautifully!!


When choosing colors, make sure you stick to one palette, either warm tones or cool tones. And if you have problems choosing colors, consider hiring a color specialist. Besides it's less expensive and time consuming to hire a color specialist, then to paint the room and decide you DON'T like the colors!!
