The variety of colors in nature knows no bounds. It is enough to observe the sky during the day to see this. Man learned not only to recreate, but also to create new shades, colors, and then use their wealth and potential for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes.
For example, pastel colors are increasingly used in the decoration of our apartments and apartments. They have long been the favorites of designers. Why did they win our hearts, because
pastel colors are
soft colors with a high content of white. They sometimes seem to fade, faded. But it is always calm noble tones: cream, lavender, creamy, color of fog ...
It is this property that designers use, especially those who know a lot about color therapy. Pastel colors in the interior create an atmosphere of purity, airiness, lightness. They visually increase the space. They not only calm, but also set up for a working mood, for creation, and when necessary - for relaxation. That is why it is not recommended to paint the nursery or office in intense colors.
After all, it’s not only the energy of colorism that can be called into question that is being transmitted to us. Colors affect the subconscious. If, for example, you do not have enough energy, it is recommended to use red and yellow in clothes and interior - they evoke activity. Conversely, if you want to avoid irritants, if your nervous system is overexcited, pastel colors will be the best.
Paint manufacturers compete with each other in ingenuity and imagination. And there is plenty to choose from. For example, pastel shades of green are mint, lime, olive, tender apple. In beige shades we will find ivory, coffee with milk, sand. A huge selection of pink and terracotta colors. Here, pastel colors are represented, for example, by the color of a withered rose, powdery, caramel, apricot, peach.
A distinctive feature of these paints is that they are perfectly combined with each other in any combination.
But compared to the dark, they lose a lot. Therefore, in the interior in soft colors, it is best to avoid the abundance of bright elements and dark furniture. In an extreme case, you can add two or three more saturated accents, and select the decoration in white or light colors.
Pink and lilac shades are most often used in children's rooms, but you can pick up a noble combination for a ladies' bedroom or living room. Greens and shades of blue will look great in the kitchen, in the office, in the bathroom. Classic living rooms are often decorated with different shades of beige and terracotta in combination with white. This range is extremely neutral, but at the same time creates a cozy and warm atmosphere.
Often pastel colors are used both in the halls and in the corridors. Pay attention also to the professional
design of the offices. You rarely see flashy rich colors there. The atmosphere should be set to work, to calmly solve problems, and not to distract attention and not be an underlying irritant. The same applies to the interiors of shops and restaurants, because psychologists have long noticed that a person stays in rooms with quiet wall decoration for longer, and that he wants to leave the dark and gloomy as soon as possible. Knowing the subtleties
of color perception, you can create a truly comfortable design for your home or office.
