Many people like to choose the colours of their rooms on their own because they think room colours can show their personality. However, room colours can do much more than that. They can also affect our moods(情绪) and thoughts in many ways. So it’s important to choose colours cleverly when it comes to decoration. If people learn some basic information about colours and their effects(影响), it won’t be difficult for them to choose the right colours.
Before deciding on paint colour, people should think about what mood they want to create and which colours can help them achieve that mood. If they don’t know the answers, they can turn to magazines, decorating books and websites for help. It is suggested that people should limit the number of colours in a room to no more than three or four.
Red can raise a room’s energy level. It can draw people together and encourage them to talk. It is especially suitable for the living room or dining room. However, it is usually considered too exciting for bedrooms.
Yellow catches the joy of sunshine and represents( 代表) happiness. It’s an excellent choice for kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms, but studies show that people are more likely to lose their temper (脾气) and that babies seem to cry more in large yellow rooms.
Green is thought to be the most restful colour for the eyes. Having a calming effect and helping people to relax, the colour is suitable for almost any room in the house.
Orange can also bring a feeling of excitement. While it’s not a good idea to choose orange for a living room or a bedroom, this colour is great for an exercise room.
