Colours work wonders

Which colours work best in which room? Colours and their effects have long been a topic of study. In his Theory of Colours, for example, the famous classical German poet, playwright and novelist Goethe created his version of a colour wheel, arranging the colours according to what he called their natural order and their emotional perception by humans. Colour palettes will vary quite significantly depending on the mood you want to create in a particular room. Someone looking for peace and relaxation in their bedroom will choose a different colour palette to someone wanting a bolder, more flamboyant effect. Wall colours and murals can conjure up a wide range of interior ambiences and even make rooms appear larger or smaller than they really are.

A room decorated in subtle shades of red, for example, conveys sensuality and comfort. Bright red, on the other hand, can be overpowering, so it is advisable to use the colour sparingly and not on every wall. Yellow tones brighten up rooms and spread cheer, while earth tones create a warm atmosphere. Shades of green are a current trend in interior design and help bring a natural, harmonious and invigorating feel to a room. The diverse selection of Komar nature & plants photomurals are the perfect choice for this effect. Blue murals are a breath of fresh air for your home, creating a sense of calm and relaxation. A good contrast to coloured or patterned photomurals are white or black sections of wall. These help with zoning a room and breaking up the space visually.

Rooms that are too large often lack cosiness.  With a few simple tips and tricks, however, even larger spaces can be made to feel cosy and inviting. Warm, bold murals or wall colours are particularly recommended for this. The contrast of light walls and a dark floor can also work wonders, transforming a room that is too large into a cosy living space. A dark ceiling colour is ideal for rooms with high ceilings, as the colour helps make them appear lower. Conversely, lighter shades are recommended for low ceilings. Small rooms can be made to feel larger with block-colour murals in blue tones and plenty of light. In the absence of light, friendly colours such as green pastel shades will soon make your space appear larger.
